Overview
Evolution-500 PowerKord™

The Evolution-500 PowerKord™ is the best of our PowerKord™ range. With 24 high purity copper braided conductors the Evolution-500 is the the ideal cable to use with any component, and is well-matched when used with mid-range and higher end kit. It's also an ideal choice if opting for a cable for connecting your mains extension or Balanced Mains Unit to the wall socket. Assess for yourself the improvements it can make (our money-back guarantee gives you 60 days to try it out).

The range has evolved

The new Evolution range of PowerKords feature Kimber’s new high purity copper (higher than in the previous PowerKord models) and our new earth arrangement which reduces the amount of noise induced into the earth by 20 times over the previous model. They really are an evolution of the design that we've loved for the past three decades and are the best performing PowerKords we've made.

Evolution-500 PowerKord™ Features

  • Evolution-500 uses twenty four separately-insulated Kimber Kable conductors, woven together to reduce Radio Frequency Interference.
  • Progressing from the established 'earth down the centre' woven cable design used in earlier PowerKords, the Evolution-500 features a new, low induced noise earth arrangement where the earth is helically wound around the outside of the weave.
  • It’s not just the earthing arrangement of the new PowerKords that has improved. Kimber have been working on the purity of the copper wire used in the PowerKords' braid; the new Evolution range features a higher purity copper than the older design.
  • The Evolution-500 PowerKord™ is encapsulated in a Noise Reduction sleeving which uses a combination of two strand thicknesses to achieve flexibility and a soft, tactile feel to the cable.
  • High performance Audio Quality mains plugs and IEC connectors are used to ensure a positive, low-resistance connection to your component.

Making the right connection




Most Hi-Fi and Home Cinema components - such as your CD player or integrated amp - are fitted with a standard 10A IEC (kettle type) socket. For these, along with our PowerBars™, PowerPurifier™ and X-Blocks™, choose the W350e Rhodium standard IEC (pictured above, left).

If you are fitting your cable to one of our PowerBlocks™ or older UltraPurifiers™, you'll need to choose the W350 High Current Rhodium IEC (pictured above, right).

The Evolution-500 PowerKord comes fitted with the top-of-the-range Rhodium-plated IEC connectors as standard.

IMPORTANT
Wattgate IEC connectors are designed to make a very tight connection to the pins of the IEC socket on your equipment or on our mains extensions - the better the connection, the better the performance. Consequently, they need to be pushed home very firmly. We strongly recommend watching our instructional video before fitting to ensure your Wattgate IEC is connected properly to the equipment.
