General :

The Gigawatt LS-2 MK3 is the new, improved version of Gigawatt's uncompromising powercable, the LS-2 MK2. The new LS-2 MK3 is the best powercable ever built by Gigawatt. It is the crown jewel of years of research and hard work in designing the perfect powercable. The design philosophy of the Gigawatt LS-2 MK3 powercable was a "cost no object" approach. No expense or effort was spared in the quest for the perfect powercable. The Gigawatt LS-2 MK3 is also a perfect cable for further development of new, and upgrading of existing Gigawatt powercables.

The construction :

The unique characteristic of the Gigawatt LS-2 MK3 is that no off-the-shelf components were used to make this powercable. 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 powercable requires many hours of hand craftsmanship, and all stages of the process are carefully monitored. This guarantees the high quality of the product.

Technical specifications :

The power 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 of OFC pure copper, which is silver-plated and polished. These conductors are inserted in bundles of 3 cables each separately into Teflon sleeves. The solid conductors with a very large cross-section of 4.5mm2 each have an exceptionally low resistance, allowing an virtually unlimited energy flow through the cable. The tightly twisted conductors limit inductance while the 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 powercable 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 sheath of the cable protects it with 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 nanocrystal material. The elements were enclosed in a housing 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's output. Special attention has been paid to the 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 provides guarantees of low resistance and solid construction with frequent plugging and unplugging of the powercable. The connectors are also cryogenically treated and demagnetized. Their solid housing is made of aluminum. All conductors are connected without soldering, and clamped securely in the plugs with screws, which minimizes the impedance of the connection and increases reliability.

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