iFi SilentPower Nova Active Power Cable The SilentPower Nova is a premium IEC mains power cable engineered to deliver cleaner, more stable power to high-end audio and AV systems. At its core are five heavy-gauge, continuous-cast OFHC (Oxygen-Free High Thermal Conductivity) copper conductors arranged in a true geometrically balanced configuration—a design that helps the live and neutral magnetic fields cancel out for lower interference. Nova also features concurrent shielding for individual power lines, helping maintain constant impedance while providing strong EMI/RFI rejection so your system receives purer electricity with less noise. What makes Nova especially distinctive is SilentPower’s Ground Zero architecture: two live/neutral pairs sit on either side of a center-positioned earth conductor, while the ground is arranged in a shotgun configuration (not twisted around the cable). This prevents residual magnetic influence and reduces the chance of unwanted induced voltage on the ground line. Finished with a tough yet flexible polymer outer sheath and audiophile-grade connectors featuring 24ct gold-plated oxygen-free copper conductors, Nova is built to be a serious upgrade for systems that reveal the benefits of quieter, better-controlled power. What It's Good At: Reducing background noise by rejecting EMI/RFI that can creep into sensitive audio/AV rigs Delivering constant impedance power feed for steadier component performance Improving system clarity through true balanced conductor geometry (field-cancelling layout) Protecting grounding integrity with the Ground Zero center-earth/shotgun-ground design Bringing premium build quality with continuous-cast OFHC copper and 24ct gold-plated contacts Enhancing reliability and handling with a tough, flexible polymer outer jacket iFi Nova Full Specifications: Model: Nova Type: IEC power cable SKU: 03-06-048-0004-00 Operating voltage: 90V – 265V Length: 1.8 m (70.8") Conductor count: Five conductors Conductor material: Heavy-gauge, continuous-cast OFHC copper (Oxygen-Free High Thermal Conductivity) Conductor geometry: Two pairs of live and neutral conductors arranged either side of the earth conductor (earth positioned at the centre); true balanced configuration Grounding design: Ground Zero with ground conductor arranged in a shotgun configuration (not twisted around) Shielding: Concurrent shielding for individual power lines Electrical performance intent: Constant impedance; superior EMI/RFI rejection Outer sheath: Tough yet flexible polymer outer sheath Connectors: Bespoke audiophile-grade connectors with 24ct gold-plated oxygen-free copper conductors Weight (US): 580 g (1.28 lbs) Weight (EU): 595 g (1.30 lbs) Weight (UK): 600 g (1.32 lbs) Weight (AU): 578 g (1.27 lbs) Warranty period: 12 months In the box: 1x Nova, 1x User Manual Note: Image colour may differ from the actual product due to lighting; refer to the product for accuracy iFi Nova Q&A: What is the SilentPower Nova designed to improve in my system? Nova is designed to feed your audio or AV components with cleaner power by reducing EMI/RFI interference and maintaining a stable, constant-impedance supply. What makes Nova different from typical power cables? Nova uses five heavy-gauge continuous-cast OFHC copper conductors in a true balanced geometry, plus concurrent shielding for each power line—features rarely combined at this level. What does “Ground Zero” mean on the Nova cable? Ground Zero is SilentPower’s layout that centers the earth conductor and uses a shotgun-style ground arrangement to minimize residual magnetism and reduce induced voltage on the ground line. Will Nova fit my equipment? Nova is an IEC power cable, intended for components that use an IEC inlet. Confirm your device uses an IEC socket before purchase. What operating voltages does Nova support? Nova supports 90V–265V, making it suitable across many regions and power standards. How long is the Nova cable? Nova is 1.8 meters (70.8"), a practical length for most racks and setups. What materials are used in the connectors and conductors? The conductors are heavy-gauge continuous-cast OFHC copper, and the connectors use 24ct gold-plated oxygen-free copper conductors for strong contact integrity. What comes in the box and what warranty is included? You get 1x Nova and 1x User Manual, backed by a 12-month warranty. iFi Nova Downloads: TutorialsTech Lowdown
