PC3 mains cord

Cleaning the mains... Caring for the music...

JMF Audio had long focused on the cables that carry the audio information. The influence of the AC mains on the perceived sound quality was later highlighted. It was decided to study the subject, for the music. Measurements, analysis, listening, correlations. Tackling power line issues along with ensuring musicality, the challenge was high. It took us time, and several releases. JMF Audio eventually developed a unique technology called EM3 and the PC3 power cord became JMF Audio's noble and relevant solution. 

The PC3 power cord has a bidirectional influence. An unique approach:

> Reducing the influence of the supplied audio component' own power supply on the mains line. 

> Preventing other devices connected to the mains from interfering with the supplied audio component.

The PC3 also prevents from radiations to the delicate analog line cables nearby. 

Handmade by JMF Audio, the PC3 allows a more natural and homogeneous sound, free from granularity, revealing an exceptional and coherent soundstage and unsuspected details of dynamics. 

The PC3 is recommended to supply the JMF Audio components. The philosophy is preserved. 
This cord has also been used successfully in different setups.

Since 2017, PC3 -CC (carbon) model, each individual cable has been identified with a serial number with the corresponding manufacturing and measurement notes stored in JMF Audio's files. Before delivery every cable has passed through a break-in period and listening tests in our studios for verification compared to our references. The PC3 is delivered in the deluxe box it deserves.

Mr. Michael Hannig, IBEX Audio, Germany, 2023:
“The bass is no longer boomy, it is more controlled and crisp. The tonality has a much higher naturalness and sound became relaxed but not boring.”
