General :

The Gigawatt LS-2 MK3 is the new, improved version of the uncompromising powercord from Gigawatt, the LS-2 MK2. The new LS-2 MK3 is the best powercord ever built by Gigawatt. It is the crowning achievement of years of research and hard work in designing the perfect powercord. The starting point for designing the Gigawatt LS-2 MK3 powercord was a "cost no object" approach. No effort or expense was spared in the search for the perfect powercord. The Gigawatt LS-2 MK3 is also a perfect cable for developing new and upgrading existing Gigawatt powercords.

The Build : The unique characteristic of the Gigawatt LS-2 MK3 is that no off-the-shelf components were used to make this powercord. All parts required for the LS-2 MK3 were designed and manufactured by Gigawatt, specifically for this project, or manufactured externally according to our specifications. Making a single LS-2 MK3 powercord requires many hours of handwork and all stages of the process are carefully controlled. This guarantees the high quality of the product.

Technical Details : The current-conducting cables, the conductors are made from a bundle of nine solid core wires with a cross-section of 1.5mm2 each. These conductors are made from OFC pure copper, which are silver-plated and polished. These conductors are fed separately into Teflon sleeves in bundles of 3 cables each. The solid conductors with a very large cross-section of 4.5mm2 each have exceptionally low resistance, allowing virtually unlimited energy flow through the cable. The short twisted conductors limit inductance while capacitance is favorably relatively high. The cable is shielded with a very tight copper shield to protect the conductors against EMI and RFI noise from radiation. The LS-2 MK3 powercord is also protected against vibrations induced by the electromagnetic field around the conductors. The wires themselves are covered with a multi-layer vibration-damping material. The outer jacket of the cable is protected by a black, damping layer of polyolefin fibers and an antistatic mesh that prevents static electricity from building up. Also specifically for the LS-2 MK3, Gigawatt designed a new, dual passive filter made of nano-crystal material. The elements were enclosed in a housing made of pure aluminum. The filter is placed at a precisely calculated location in the cable and protects the connected device, among other things, against parasitic noise and vibrations at the cable outlet. Special attention was paid to high-quality, custom-made connectors used to assemble the cable. The solid aluminum construction ensures high durability and reliability. The connections are made of solid brass, finished with a Rhodium protective layer. This guarantees low resistance and solid construction with frequent insertion and removal of the powercord. The connectors are also cryogenically treated and demagnetized. Their solid housing is made of aluminum. All conductors are connected without soldering and clamped firmly in the plugs, which minimizes connection impedance and increases reliability.

The Gigawatt LS-2 MK3 powercord is recommended as the reference cable for powering the best High End components in the world. The LS-2 MK3 powercord is most suitable for devices that consume a lot of power, such as amplifiers and power amplifiers, but the LS-2 MK3 has also proven its worth for powering High End digital and analog audio sources. The LS-2HC MK3 powercord is the special high power version, which is intended for connection to the Gigawatt PC-4 EVO Power Conditioner.
