Synergistic Research Foundation SX AC Power Cable
Taxes & Shipping Included
Foundation SX Power Cords start with 3 x 12 or 3 x 10-gauge copper alloy conductors, more than enough to handle your system’s power needs, including power-hungry amplifiers and line conditioners. We then add 2 x pure silver Air String geometries handmade in our California factory for increased air, image focus, and dynamic impact. Next, we upgraded Foundation SX with brand-new technology first developed for our SRX cable loom and Purple fuses. This new UEF compound delivers a lower noise floor than the original Foundation power cords. Next, we apply a novel long-duration multi-channel high-frequency conditioning process also developed alongside our state-of-the-art cable loom, SRX. All told, Foundation SX upgrades give your system a lower noise floor from which springs a new level of detail, dynamics, and soundstage. No cable at Foundation SX’s price level can match, not even close. But, of course, hearing is believing, so we invite you to experience a massive leap in performance over one of the most popular power cables in SR’s 30-year history.
The previous Atmosphere X Series Cables started as an experiment to explore ways of improving UEF Shielding by placing UEF Tech at strategic grid points on the shields of Atmosphere cables, now called Matrix Shielding. Matrix Shielding arranges UEF elements on a grid pattern of the cable shield to lower its noise floor. Atmosphere SX refines Matrix Shielding further by using new Carbon Fibre UEF Tuning Discs developed expressly for Atmosphere SX to enhance the loom's ability to cancel noise that would otherwise cause high frequencies to sound harsh or fatiguing. As a result of our ongoing research into UEF Shielding, we have pushed the resolution envelope when voicing Atmosphere SX by developing new Carbon Fibre UEF Tuning Discs for a more holographic sound with enhanced resolution and musicality.
Included with SR30 interconnects, speaker cables, and power cables, Carbon Tuning Discs are a spinoff of our new Atmosphere SX Loom where they are placed inside cables at key locations and are instrumental in creating the SX sound. Based on our patented UEF technology, each disc gets treated with a unique UEF compound that interacts with EM fields wherever you place them in your system or on cables to improve sound quality. The conductive carbon fiber material of the disc enhances the interaction between the UEF compound and the surrounding EM fields where it is placed. The Gold- Carbon Tuning Discs flesh out rich harmonics combined with a clarifying effect in the sound field for a more lifelike and holographic presentation. Purple- Carbon Tuning Discs get treated with a UEF compound that enhances clarity and extension in the soundstage even beyond Gold.
Features
-
Hybrid Conductor Geometry: Combines 3 heavy copper alloy matrix conductors (either 12 AWG or 10 AWG) with 2 x handmade 99.9995% pure silver "Air String" geometries. The silver strings significantly enhance high-frequency air, soundstage depth, and image focus
- Dielectric System: Uses an Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM) dielectric alongside a sealed Air Dielectric specifically for the pure silver runs, reducing signal loss and distortion
- SRX Trickle-Down Shielding: Upgraded with UEF Matrix Shielding infused with Graphene directly on the connector bodies, utilizing compound technologies originally engineered for the top-of-the-line SRX cable loom and Purple Fuses to establish a much lower noise floor
- High-Voltage Conditioning: The completed cable undergoes a long-duration, multi-channel high-frequency quantum conditioning process (similar to the 1-million-volt treatment) to improve resolution, explosive dynamics, and holographic realism
- Carbon Tuning Discs: Includes detachable Gold and Purple discs allowing you to physically voice the cable's sound profile for warmth or air.
- Hand-Built Quality: Assembled by hand in the California factory, ensuring strict quality control and exact termination standards.
-
Terminations: Plugs feature a Synergistic Research C07 Pure Copper wall plug and a G07 Gold-plated IEC 15-Amp component plug, put together using a 4% silver solder compound
- Made in USA

About
Synergistic Research is an American high-end audio manufacturer founded in 1992 by Ted Denney in California, recognized for its handcrafted power conditioners, active cables, acoustic treatments, and UEF tuning accessories. The brand rejects the idea of passive connectivity, employing a holistic "total system approach" that relies on active electromagnetic biasing, 1,000,000-volt Quantum Tunneling material treatments, and advanced graphene integration to optimize the electrical and acoustic environment. Their premium product ecosystem—ranging from the single-outlet PowerCell ONE and multi-outlet PowerCell SX line to their widely utilized Purple and Master UEF fuses—is engineered to aggressively lower the system noise floor and maximize dynamic range without introducing traditional current-limiting restrictions.
