AudioQuest's Monsoon XTRM power cord features luxury Mistral Series connectors with optimal clamping force for maximum performance. Mistral Series plugs, like the Storm Series connectors, are made of a thick layer of silver over red copper and beryllium copper.
AudioQuest Monsoon XTRM is the entry level of the Wind Series and replaces the old NRG-4. It contains heavier gauge conductors made from Long Grain Copper (LGC) and Perfect Surface Copper+ (PSC+) and is fitted with the familiar Ground Noise Dissipation System, a multi-layered shield that absorbs high frequency noise before it enters the conductors by which it gains access to your hifi system. The outside diameter of the cable is larger and it is less flexible than the NRG Series cables, but when we heard its audible effect that little difference in manipulability was easily forgiven.
