RSC® Air Reference AC

Elevate your system’s performance from the outlet up. The RSC® Air Reference AC  power cord is designed to be so transparent it’ll vanish into your system. By isolating your components from the “noise” of the grid, this cable unlocks a level of holographic imaging and visual clarity you likely didn’t know your gear was capable of.

The Science of Silence

At the heart of the Air Reference AC is TARA Labs’ proprietary Air-tube™ technology. Standard insulation often acts as a dielectric that absorbs and releases energy, blurring the signal. Our air-filled Teflon® tubes minimize this distortion, resulting in an extremely low noise floor. Whether you are chasing the “blackest blacks” in your home theater or a dead-quiet background in your two-channel setup, the Air Reference delivers.

Handcrafted Excellence

Each cable is hand-built in Southern Oregon using our legendary SA-OF8N® copper—the highest purity “Super-Annealed, Oxygen-Free Mono-Crystal” copper available. With 24 individual RSC® Gen 2 conductors meticulously separated into shielded paths, this cable provides the massive current delivery required for high-draw amplifiers while maintaining the finesse needed for sensitive source components.

Key Benefits

  • Reduced Dielectric Distortion: Air-tube™ tech ensures the signal remains pristine and uncolored.

  • Unsurpassed Clarity: Dramatically improves video sharpness and depth while refining high-frequency audio detail.

  • Built for Life: Heavily shielded and anti-corrosion coated to ensure your last power cable upgrade is truly your last.

  • The TARA Labs Advantage: Because the ground path is provided by the exterior shield rather than an internal wire, the Air Reference AC offers superior rejection of RFI/EMI interference from the surrounding environment.

The Heritage of Quality

Every TARA Labs cable is handmade to order in Oregon, USA. Our master technicians hand-polish each conductor to ensure an optimal interface. We believe in our craftsmanship so much that every cable comes with a Lifetime Guarantee.
