RINGMAT POWER CABLE TWO MAINS
CABLE
RINGMAT POWER CABLE TWO MAINS CABLE is a
sizeable mains cable with a length of
4-core Power Cable and a substantial
Earth cable at its heart. The Power
Cable is the 4-core version of the
substantial 5-core connecting mains
cable used in the Pure Power Mains
Cable. As in the case of the Pure Power
Mains Cable, considerable care has been
taken through extensive listening tests
to ensure that the Power Cable TWO is of
complimentary and comparable quality.
Again, every care has been taken in the
design of this Power Cable TWO Mains
Cable to avoid those conditions whereby
sound signals dependent upon mains power
are adversely affected, such as where
the wrong polarity has been used, the
wrong number of strands have been used
in conductors and through the use of
solder to secure connections - only
screws have been used to secure
connections. Those familiar with the use
of the Pure Power Cable as speaker cable
will be recognise the practice. As with
the Pure Power Mains Cable, we have
effectively used a 5-core cable
structure throughout for the Power Cable
TWO version, with a single Earth
conductor and two conductors each for
live and neutral whereby ‘opposite’
conductors are paired. |

WHY ANOTHER MAINS CABLE?
The Ringmat Pure Power Mains Cable has been
specifically designed to complement our own
unique range of Audiophile Cables and other
products and this combination will reveal their
musicality and all their other attributes to a
far greater degree than is otherwise possible.
The Pure Power Mains Cable is expensive to build
because of the need to accommodate very sizeable
conductor cores that will not terminate within
conventional heavy-duty plugs. World-class
quality of this type does not come cheaply.
However, Ringmat Developments’ other Audiophile
Cables and other Ringmat products, including the
Statmat products, will not perform at their best
when used in conjunction with any inferior mains
cable.
|
This is why we felt it was important to
develop a high quality alternative Mains
Cable - Power Cable TWO - at a more
affordable price whilst still being in
tune with our other products. As with
the Ringmat Pure Power Mains Cable, the
design of the Power Cable TWO enables an
extraordinarily accurate sound
reproduction to be provided in sound
systems using it. Obviously, the quality
and set up of the sound reproduction
system itself is a crucial factor, but
with the Ringmat Power Cable TWO Mains
Cable there is the capability of
outstanding tonal performance, imagery
and transparency. The sound when using
the Power Cable TWO is distinctly
different from that when using the Pure
Power Mains Cable. The smaller cores
used with Power Cable TWO mean that the
awesome sense of power and space
available from the Pure Power Cable is
not present to the same extent; it is
narrower in bandwidth, smaller in scale
and in soundstage, and the sound has
less presence and resolution, but Power
Cable TWO is still head and shoulders
above most other so-called reference
mains cables. In particular, the sound
is noticeably more musical than with
other mains cables. |
Specifications Power Cable TWO: 1.5mm2
4-core mains cable of significant high quality
Earth Cable: Single conductor of plain
copper in LSF thermosetting insulation, giving a
7/0.67mm strand core size of 2.5mm2
Place of manufacture of complete Mains Cable:
EU
Plugs and Connectors: The design of the
plugs used with the Power Cable TWO Mains Cable
is very important and the ones chosen are the
same as those used for the Pure Power Mains
Cable.
Cable Terminations: At the power socket
end, the Mains cables are available with UK
13Amp, Schuko or IEC plugs, or with bare ends to
meet local requirements with regard to mains
plugs. At the equipment end, standard
termination is with IEC plugs. They can also be
supplied with bare ends. The standard IEC plugs
are ‘hot’ versions rated at 16Amps. Heavy-duty
rectangular C19 IEC plugs with the pins
horizontal instead of the standard vertical are
also available at 16Amps.
The standard length of the Ringmat Pure Power
mains Cable is 1.2metres. Lengths of 1.5 and 2
metres are also available, as are other lengths
to order. |
