RINGMAT AUDIOPHILE CABLES
Ringmat Developments have been researching the design of
multi-strand cables for many years, as they felt that existing
cables did not provide the level of performance required by other
Ringmat products. This research continued until a manufacturer was
found with the right cable technology and design resources. The
fruits of this co-operation can be found in the concept and design
of the Ringmat OFC Pure Power Cable and the Ringmat Pure Signal
Cable, and now in Ringmat Power Cable TWO.

13amp and IEC plug
RINGMAT POWER CABLE TWO MAINS CABLE is a sizeable mains cable with a
length of 4-core Power Cable and a substantial Earth cable at its
heart. The Power Cable is the 4-core version of the substantial
5-core connecting mains cable used in the Pure Power Mains Cable. As
in the case of the Pure Power Mains Cable, considerable care has
been taken through extensive listening tests to ensure that the
Power Cable TWO is of complimentary and comparable quality. Again,
every care has been taken in the design of this Power Cable TWO
Mains Cable to avoid those conditions whereby sound signals
dependent upon mains power are adversely affected, such as where the
wrong polarity has been used, the wrong number of strands have been
used in conductors and through the use of solder to secure
connections - only screws have been used to secure connections.
Those familiar with the use of the Pure Power Cable as speaker cable
will be recognise the practice. As with the Pure Power Mains Cable,
we have effectively used a 5-core cable structure throughout for the
Power Cable TWO version, with a single Earth conductor and two
conductors each for live and neutral whereby ‘opposite’ conductors
are paired.
Why another MAINS CABLE?
The Ringmat Pure Power Mains Cable has been specifically designed to
complement our own unique range of Audiophile Cables and other
products and this combination will reveal their musicality and all
their other attributes to a far greater degree than is otherwise
possible. The Pure Power Mains Cable is expensive to build because
of the need to accommodate very sizeable conductor cores that will
not terminate within conventional heavy-duty plugs. World-class
quality of this type does not come cheaply. However, Ringmat
Developments’ other Audiophile Cables and other Ringmat products,
including the Statmat products, will not perform at their best when
used in conjunction with any inferior mains cable.

This is why we felt it was important to develop a high quality
alternative Mains Cable - Power Cable TWO - at a more affordable
price whilst still being in tune with our other products. As with
the Ringmat Pure Power Mains Cable, the design of the Power Cable
TWO enables an extraordinarily accurate sound reproduction to be
provided in sound systems using it. Obviously, the quality and set
up of the sound reproduction system itself is a crucial factor, but
with the Ringmat Power Cable TWO Mains Cable there is the capability
of outstanding tonal performance, imagery and transparency. The
sound when using the Power Cable TWO is distinctly different from
that when using the Pure Power Mains Cable. The smaller cores used
with Power Cable TWO mean that the awesome sense of power and space
available from the Pure Power Cable is not present to the same
extent; it is narrower in bandwidth, smaller in scale and in
soundstage, and the sound has less presence and resolution, but
Power Cable TWO is still head and shoulders above most other
so-called reference mains cables. In particular, the sound is
noticeably more musical than with other mains cables.
Specifications Power Cable TWO:
1.5mm2 4-core mains cable of significant high quality
Earth Cable:
Single conductor of plain copper in LSF thermosetting insulation,
giving a 7/0.67mm strand core size of 2.5mm2
Place of manufacture of complete Mains Cable: EU
Plugs and Connectors
The design of the plugs used with the Power Cable TWO Mains Cable is
very important and the ones chosen are the same as those used for
the Pure Power Mains Cable.
Cable Terminations
At the power socket end, the Mains cables are available with UK
13Amp, Schuko or IEC plugs, or with bare ends to meet local
requirements with regard to mains plugs. At the equipment end,
standard termination is with IEC plugs. They can also be supplied
with bare ends. The standard IEC plugs are ‘hot’ versions rated at
16Amps. Heavy-duty rectangular C19 IEC plugs with the pins
horizontal instead of the standard vertical are also available at
16Amps.
The standard length of the Ringmat Pure Power mains Cable is
1.2metres. Lengths of 1.5 and 2 metres are also available, as are
other lengths to order.
