RSC^® Air Reference AC

The RSC^® Air Reference AC brings TARA Labs’ air-tube technology to power delivery. Twenty-four RSC^® Gen 2 conductors of SA-OF8N^® copper run in individual Teflon^® air tubes.

The Live and Neutral paths are separately shielded and the ground is carried by the exterior shield, for a very low noise floor.

Conductor Type: RSC^® (Rectangular Solid Core) Gen 2
Material: SA-OF8N^® Copper (99.999999% Pure)
Conductor Gauge: 14-gauge (Total runs)
Conductor Count: 24 Individual Conductors

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.

Hand-Crafted 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.
