Nordost Red Dawn 3 Power Cord

A 3 x 14 AWG Micro Mono-Filament cable with silver-plated, solid core OFC conductors, and FEP insulation.

New for 2024, Nordost’s Leif 3 line moves the bar for entry-level cable ever higher. The third Leif series is the culmination of years of technological breakthroughs and advancements in craftsmanship, meticulously refined to meet the modern demands of mid-fi and hi-fi sound systems. They leverage optimal materials, unique geometry, and filter-less technology to unlock dynamic, low-loss, and lifelike performances from any audio system.

The "Wall Interconnect"

You listen to the modulated electricity from your wall, so well-engineered power cords are an extremely important part of a high-fidelity system.

Derived from years of research and development, Leif 3 Power Cords inherit the design principles of Nordost's esteemed reference-level products. Utilizing FEP extrusion and Micro Mono-Filament technology, each heavy-gauge, high-current conductor is meticulously wrapped with an FEP filament to create a virtual air gap within its own, individual FEP tube. This ensures the uninterrupted flow of AC power, allowing your system to effortlessly deliver dynamic nuances in music.

Leif 3 Power cords are distinguished for ultra-fast, low-loss design, preserving the low source impedance of the AC supply for optimal performance.

Red Dawn

Red Dawn uses high-speed, low-loss, heavy gauge 3 x 14 AWG Micro Mono-Filament conductors sheathed in FEP insulation. The minimal dielectric effect and propagation delay ensures that power is transported as directly as possible, straight to your equipment, while purpose-built, audio-grade connectors maintain the low source impedance of your AC supply and ensure superior grounding.
