900-Watt Active
The 900-Watt Active power sounds best five feet long. If you can’t make a five-foot power cord work in your installation longer lengths are available as custom orders.
The 900-watt rating is conservative and represents the limit on continuous average power. Short peak demands, of the duration of loud musical peaks, up to 3000 watts can be safely handled.
The 900-Watt power cord uses pure copper ribbons with optimized geometry and processing protocols to transfer power between the source of power and your components. Each ribbon is insulated using the same multi-polymer film used in our interconnects. We designed our AC plug to sound better than anything else we could find, including hospital-grade plugs and other such devices that use unnecessarily large amounts of bad sounding dielectrics.
Our silver-plated fine copper braid on the outside shields and protects without adding more dielectric. Our IEC socket uses minimal dielectric and compression connections instead of solder. The compression fittings float in their compartments so that they’re loosely coupled to the polymer dielectric and are mostly surrounded by air.
This combination of features assures that our power cords achieve the same high standards of time domain fidelity as our interconnects. Our 100-Watt Active Power Cord will make your low power components sound better than you’ve ever heard them. The 900W version is best suited for higher power applications like amplifiers with the same attributes as the 100W. Please take the time to check your components power and get the right directionality, RED or BLUE, to get the best possible sound (discussed below and under 'Absolute Phase/Directionality' along with other helpful information on our home page).
Our active power cords are identical to their passive counterparts except they use a 9-volt bias voltage from a battery and network supply box. The bias applied to the shield further reduces the residual smearing effects from our already minimal multi-polymer dielectric. With the reduction of smearing, the impact on the sound is immediately obvious; micro dynamics and transients are reproduced with greater clarity, backgrounds become blacker and more solid. Leading and trailing edges are more like live and have an excitement and presence you must hear to believe.
The battery/network box is finely crafted from bird’s eye or curly maple, which further contributes to clean sound and looks great too.

Additional Information
Omega Mikro
Planar Power Cables bring out better instrument and image focus,
detail, controlled transients and a sense of realism from your system
that is closer to live music and the movie theater experience. That
such improvements can be attributed to a power cable may be astonishing
– but hearing and seeing is believing. If you are not satisfied you may
return the cable to your dealer, in original condition, within 30 days
of purchase for a full refund.
Versions and Directionality: Omega Mikro Planar Power Cables come as active or passive versions and in either Red or Blue directionality. Your choice between the passive and active versions depends on your performance vs. cost preference. The active version costs more but sounds better than the passive version.
The choice between Red or Blue directionality depends on the particular component you are connecting to the power grid. We can provide you with a Red or Blue cable for your specific component based on his or her experience or will provide one of each so you can determine which sounds better. Select the one you want and return the other (in original condition) to us.
The only technical difference between the Red and Blue options is in the crystal grain orientation of the copper ribbon conductors. We have developed a proprietary annealing and rolling protocol for making these ribbons sound great and use the same ribbon – but in opposite direction -for the Red and Blue options. We minimize dielectric and skin effects to reduce smearing. The active version takes another step to further reduce smearing by better controlling the dielectric properties of the insulation.
