Audience frontRow PowerChord MP
Audience frontRow PowerChord MP
Source components like DACs, streamers, and preamplifiers draw far less current than power amplifiers, but they're just as sensitive to noise. The frontRow powerChord MP brings the frontRow design to those components in a 14 AWG version.
frontRow power, sized for your source components.
The Design
frontRow is where Audience introduced MORRE (Musically Optimized Reduction of Resistive Energy), the umbrella for its most advanced technologies, and where it reserves its Proprietary Metallurgy Technology (PMT). Audience likens PMT to the rifling in a barrel: it treats the 99.9999% pure OCC copper conductors so the signal travels a freer, more direct path. Every frontRow cable then goes through Audience's Extreme High Voltage Process (EHVP) and deep cryogenic treatment, and each is handmade in San Marcos, California.
How It Sounds
Audience voices frontRow to bring you closer to the performance: a remarkably low noise floor, lifelike tone and texture, and a holographic sense of space. Reviewers have heard the same, with Positive Feedback describing unbridled transparency and The Absolute Sound placing frontRow among the very best.
Where It Fits
Use the MP on DACs, streamers, phono stages, and preamplifiers, and the full 10 AWG frontRow powerChord on power amplifiers. Together they give your whole system frontRow power.
Press Recognition
- Positive Feedback, Issue 134 (June 2024), John Acton. Before reviewing the frontRow cables, Acton lived with the frontRow powerChords and wrote that they changed his perception of what a power cord could do for his enjoyment of music. Read the review at Positive Feedback
