Unleash the full potential of your audio system with the Matrix ‘Reference’ PRO 2 power cable, updated in August 2024. This engineering marvel is designed to deliver unparalleled performance, pushing the boundaries of sound quality and redefining what’s possible. Prepare to elevate your listening experience to extraordinary new heights while enjoying the signature flexibility that makes Matrix the ultimate choice for audiophiles.

Matrix plugs

Precision-engineered for peak performance, the Matrix Brass plug and IEC connectors, weighing twice as much as standard equivalents (14.6 to 30.8 grams), guarantee a perfect connection. Internally, the connectors feature Rhodium-plated screws and undergo Cryogenic treatment for optimal conductivity.

Matrix construction

A distinguishing feature of this new reference 2 power cable is its shielding—a feature rarely found in power cables from other manufacturers. This shielding is primarily responsible for minimising the impact of electromagnetic interference on other audio or video cables. As a result, the cable is ideal not only for hi-fi applications but also for medical, measurement, laboratory equipment, and other devices sensitive to electromagnetic fields.

The Ferrite collar

Ferrite has been used for years and more than just a mere accessory, serving as a foundational element in the sound improvement. Encased in a sleek Carbon Fiber body, the plug incorporates a ferrite collar, giving this power cable a unique blend of style and functionality. Far more than mere accessories, these components serve as foundational elements of the audio chain, playing a critical role in eliminating unwanted elements –

1. Electromagnetic Interference (EMI): Unwanted noise or interference from external electromagnetic fields that can affect the audio signal.
2. Radio Frequency Interference (RFI): High-frequency noise from radio signals or electronic devices that can degrade sound quality.
3. Noise and Hum: Electrical noise, such as hum from power lines or other equipment, that can introduce unwanted sounds into the audio signal.
4. Ground Loops: Electrical problems that create a hum or buzz due to improper grounding.
5. Signal Distortion: Any form of alteration of the original audio signal, which can result in a loss of sound fidelity.

These elements can degrade the performance of an audio system, so components like ferrite sleeves are used to minimise their impact.
