Overview
The Clarus Crimson MKII High-Current Power Cable is a reference-grade audiophile AC power cord engineered for high-performance power amplifiers, integrated amplifiers, AV receivers, powered subwoofers, and premium power conditioners. Featuring Pure Continuous Cast Copper (PCCC) conductors, proprietary multi-gauge geometry, dual-layer shielding, and high-retention IEC connectors, Crimson MKII is designed to support demanding current delivery while minimizing electrical interference.
Its specialized conductor arrangement, vibration-damping dielectric, and premium copper contacts provide a sophisticated power connection for reference stereo and home theater systems.
Key Features
-
Pure Continuous Cast Copper (PCCC): High-purity, single-crystal copper conductors engineered for excellent conductivity and low electrical resistance.
-
High-Current Design: Optimized for components with substantial and rapidly changing power demands.
-
Multi-Gauge Conductor Geometry: Combines different conductor sizes to support current delivery and transient performance.
-
Proprietary Alternating-Twist Construction: Designed to reduce magnetic-field interactions within the cable.
-
Dual-Layer Shielding: Helps reject radio-frequency interference (RFI) and electromagnetic interference (EMI).
-
Vibration-Damping Dielectric: Specialized insulation formulated to reduce AC-induced mechanical vibration.
-
Gold-Plated C1100 Copper Contacts: High-conductivity copper connector contacts and termination pins resist oxidation.
-
High-Retention IEC C15 Connector: Proprietary raised-collar design provides a secure connection to compatible equipment.
-
Premium Connector Housing: Precision-machined POM with brass and carbon-fiber shielding.
-
Heavy-Duty Strain Relief: Reinforced construction for long-term mechanical reliability.
-
Single Cable: Each purchase includes one high-current AC power cord.
High-Current Power Delivery
Power amplifiers and powered subwoofers can demand substantial current during dynamic musical passages. Excessive resistance in an AC power connection can restrict current delivery during these transient demands.
Clarus Crimson MKII addresses this through its proprietary combination of conductor gauges and geometries. Pure Continuous Cast Copper provides a highly conductive signal path, while alternating conductor twists are designed to reduce magnetic interactions.
The result is a high-current AC cable engineered to support demanding audio components without compromising power delivery.
Dual Shielding and Vibration Control
The Crimson MKII uses two shielding layers to help reduce electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference entering or leaving the cable.
Clarus also incorporates a specialized dielectric formulation developed to dampen vibration associated with alternating current. Together, these technologies are intended to reduce unwanted electrical and mechanical interference in sensitive high-fidelity systems.
Premium MKII High-Retention Connectors
The Clarus Crimson MKII features a North American three-prong Type B wall plug and a proprietary high-retention IEC C15 equipment connector.
Its connector contacts and termination pins use C1100 pure copper, gold-plated for oxidation resistance and reliable conductivity.
The connector housing combines precision-machined polyoxymethylene (POM), brass, and carbon fiber for mechanical strength, vibration damping, and additional shielding.
A raised collar on the IEC connector helps maintain a secure connection to compatible equipment receptacles.

Do you offer free shipping?
Yes — free shipping on every order, with 2-day delivery available on most products. Easy returns and exchanges are included.
Where is your showroom?
We're at 6362 Alder Drive, Houston, Texas. The showroom lets you hear and compare reference-level systems in person before making any decisions. If you're considering a larger purchase or installation, it's well worth the visit.
Can I buy online without visiting the showroom?
Yes. The full product range is available through the online store with free nationwide shipping. For more complex system builds, speaking with one of our advisers first tends to lead to a better result.
Do you offer financing?
Yes. Special financing is available through the BrandSource Credit Card for qualifying purchases, allowing you to spread payments over time with no annual fee. Promotional rebate savings are also available periodically. See the financing page for full details.
Do you install systems as well as sell equipment?
Yes — installation is central to what we do. We design and install whole-home audio and video, home theaters, media rooms, outdoor audio, lighting and motorised shades, and full smart home automation.
Do you provide support after installation?
Yes. We provide ongoing service and support to ensure systems continue performing as intended — not just on installation day, but over the long term.
