Evolution-300 PowerKord 16A Male IEC to W320 IEC
Evolution-300 PowerKord™
The Evolution-300 PowerKord™ uses twice as many woven conductors as the Evolution-100 and is perfect for use with any Hi-Fi component, from sources, preamps and through to power amps. It is also effective when used with any of our mains extensions including the top-of-the-range Signature PowerBlock, and our Balanced Mains Units. Assess for yourself the improvements it can make (our money-back guarantee gives you 60 days to try it out).

The range has evolved
The new Evolution range of PowerKords feature Kimber’s new high purity copper (higher than in the previous PowerKord models) and our new earth arrangement which reduces the amount of noise induced into the earth by 20 times over the previous model. They really are an evolution of the design that we've loved for the past three decades and are the best performing PowerKords we've made.
Evolution-300 PowerKord™ Features
- Evolution-300 uses sixteen separately-insulated Kimber Kable conductors, woven together to reduce Radio Frequency Interference.
- Progressing from the established 'earth down the centre' woven cable design used in earlier PowerKords, the Evolution-300 features a new, low induced noise earth arrangement where the earth is helically wound around the outside of the weave.
- It's not just the earthing arrangement of the new PowerKords that has improved. Kimber have been working on the purity of the copper wire used in the PowerKords' braid; the new Evolution range features a higher purity copper than the older design.
- The Evolution-300 PowerKord™ is encapsulated in a Noise Reduction sleeving which uses a combination of two strand thicknesses to achieve flexibility and a soft, tactile feel to the cable.
- High performance Audio Quality mains plugs and IEC connectors are used to ensure a positive, low-resistance connection to your component.

Making the right connection
Most Hi-Fi and Home Cinema components - such as your CD player or integrated amp - are fitted with a standard 10A IEC (kettle type) socket. For these, along with our PowerBars™, PowerPurifier™ and X-Blocks™, choose the W320e standard IEC (pictured above, left).
If you are fitting your cable to one of our PowerBlocks™ or older UltraPurifiers™, you'll need to choose the Wattgate W320i high current IEC (pictured above, right).
IMPORTANT
Wattgate IEC connectors are designed to make a very tight connection to the pins of the IEC socket on your equipment or on our mains extensions - the better the connection, the better the performance. Consequently, they need to be pushed home very firmly. We strongly recommend watching our instructional video before fitting to ensure your Wattgate IEC is connected properly to the equipment.

Captive mains lead?
If your equipment has a mains lead fitted directly into the unit that can't be removed, our Male IEC adaptor pack creates an inline IEC socket and lets you upgrade your power cable. Click here for more information.
