Are used in audio applications to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio-frequency interference (RFI), which can degrade audio quality. Here are some reasons why:

EMI and RFI Protection:
Shielded cables have a conductive shield around the inner wires, which helps to:

• Block electromagnetic fields generated by nearby devices, such as transformers, motors, and fluorescent lights

• Prevent radio-frequency signals from being induced into the cable. They exist everywhere and are becoming a larger nuisance in our modern world. Mobile phone networks, radio stations, TV stations, CB radio, 2 way communications, etc all pollute our airways and the sensitive electronics of audio equipment. Without the protection of a shield, cables act as an antenna for these small signals and are often audible as unwanted noise and artifacts.

All EGM cables are shielded for the quietest system response and musical enjoyment.

Reduced Noise and Hum:
By shielding the power cable, you can reduce the noise and hum that can be introduced into the audio signal. This is especially important in professional audio applications like recording studios and live sound systems.

Improved Audio Quality:
Using shielded power cables can produce a cleaner and more accurate audio signal, with less distortion and noise.

Common Applications:
Shielded power cables are commonly used in audio applications, such as:

• Home audio systems, including hi-fi systems and home theatres

• Professional audio equipment, like mixing consoles and power amplifiers

• Live sound systems, such as those used in concerts and public events

Conductors, dielectric, inner and outer sheath, plug pack (ends,) labelling, with the assembly and testing must be carried out to ALL AS/NZS Standards, EESS & Electrical Safety Act 2002. EGM is the only Australian company that is FULLY COMPLIANT with all of the electrical safety standards and is completely legal to be used. EGM employs two engineers and licenced electricians. EGM has the correct safety and liability insurance. EGM has full compliance certificates from AS/NZS and EESS.

No, it is not. This is a misconception and is not legal to be used within Australia/New Zealand. All components must meet and be compliant to AS/NZS & EESS, and it must be assembled and tested to AS/NZS Standards & Electrical Safety Act 2002 before it can be legally used. 

Users are putting themselves and their equipment at risk by using illegal power cables. The risk of fire and damage to components is real and happens more often than is realised by the general public.

Any potential home and contents insurance claim may be rejected due to the use of illegal power cables. Australia has some of the strictest compliance and safety laws in the world. It is false economy to use non compliant power cables anywhere in your home, but especially with your audio video equipment.

We all know that suitable power cables allow your audio equipment to sound better and operate at its full potential, but any device can benefit the same way, including your video equipment. High-definition Projectors, TV’s, Blu-ray players, streamers etc all operate at a higher level with a well designed power cable.

Users report that the contrast, colour saturation, depth and realism improve, while background noise often seen as pixilation or a light grey smear are reduced or removed all together. 

Simple: A Lifetime Warranty. Any EGM power cable that is defective for any reason is either repaired or replaced, free of charge. No if’s or buts, its taken care of for your own safety and peace of mind. Send us the faulty unit and we will send the fixed product back to you free of charge. 

We accept returns within 30 days of purchase. Please keep your receipt.
