Oyaide Tunami GPX-Re V2 AC Power Cable

"TUNAMI" revolutionized power cables with its ultra-thick 5.5 sq. (≈10AWG) conductor and advanced three-layer sealing, delivering powerful transmission and dynamic sound. After discontinuation in 2013 due to PCOCC-A conductor availability, the 2014 "TUNAMI V2" revived the original's essence using the refined 102 SSC precision conductor while maintaining the initial design. This evolution offers exceptional clarity, capturing even the subtle pre-performance ambiance. Since 1952, Oyaide Electric has leveraged cutting-edge technologies unique to its expertise, and the TUNAMI GPX-Re V2 exemplifies this heritage, enhanced further by the exclusive P/C-004e special edition plug.

Features

"102 SSC" - Oyaide Electric Precision Conductor

• To avoid impurities as much as possible, only virgin copper that does not contain any recycled copper is used in accordance with JIS C1011.
• Peeling process is applied to remove 100% of impurities attached to the surface.
• In order to facilitate the flow of electrical signals through the surface layer of the conductor, the strand is made finer using a natural diamond die to improve the surface smoothness of the strand.
• The stranded wire is processed with a processing accuracy of ±1μm, far exceeding the standard error tolerance of ±8μm.
• Two annealing processes are used to eliminate mechanical stress distortions in the strands.
• Thorough product control of manufacturing control values, maintenance, shipping days, etc. Achieved the highest conductivity of 102.3% IACS.

With a wire cross-sectional area of 5.5sq., it is capable of transmitting high power up to 30 amperes at a withstand voltage of 600V.

It provides high power transmission of 600V maximum 30 amps withstand voltage and aggressive response.

Short-pitch stranded wire twisted at 1.15 times the normal tension eliminates random gaps in the conductor and suppresses sound quality degradation caused by wire-to-wire distortion.

We also paid close attention to the adhesion rate between the insulator and conductor. The insulator and conductor are evenly adhered to each other, eliminating random gaps and degradation of sound quality caused by interline distortion.

Polymer Polyolefin with Excellent Electrical Characteristics for Insulation to Reduce Signal Loss

Polymeric polyolefin with excellent electrical characteristics is used for the insulation coating of the conductor. Compared to ordinary PVC insulation, it has an extremely low dielectric constant of 1/4, which reduces signal loss and produces a less muddy reproduction sound.

Triple Layer Shielding to Shut Out Noise

The first layer is an electromagnetic wave absorber, the second layer is a carbon layer, and the third layer is a copper foil. The first layer converts the electromagnetic waves caused by the inevitable disturbance of magnetic flux into heat energy by mixing the electromagnetic wave absorber into the compound. When electricity flows through the cable, weak vibrations are generated, and the vibrations cause corona discharge in materials charged with static electricity. Therefore, the second layer is a semiconductor layer (carbon layer) to promote the release of static electricity without affecting the conductor. The third layer is a copper tape shield to protect the conductor from external noise. The third layer is a copper tape shield to protect the conductor from external noise, and the copper foil shield is bonded to the drain wire in close proximity to the earth ground to improve the signal-to-noise ratio. Not only external noise, but also internally generated noise and spark noise caused by vibration are shut out at a high level. Experience the ultimate in noise protection, the power of the triple layer shield.

Exclusive AC Power Plug and IEC Connector

The "Aspirin Snow White" outer cover is specially produced for the TUNAMI GPX-Re V2. It is made from thick Polycarbonate which strength and hardness attenuate small vibrations at high speed with no added distortion due to its superior rigidity.

In order to maximize the potential of the TUNAMI power cable, the contact is modified from phosphor bronze to beryllium copper that insures the higher level of mechanical integrity and electric conductivity. And also a combination of platinum and palladium is employed as well as P/C-004e. The thickness of the plating is optimally-adjusted for the TUNAMI GPX-Re V2.
