Audience frontRow Reserve PowerChord 2.2m HP

Ex-demo store unit. 2.2 meters, 15 amp high-power terminations. 9/10 condition with original box and packaging. A significant cable at a meaningful discount from retail.

The Reserve Upgrade

The frontRow Reserve builds on the already-strong frontRow PowerChord platform in three ways. First, silver conductors are added to the existing copper geometry — a meaningful upgrade that Audience implemented after finding the combination outperformed either material alone. Second, an advanced formulation of natural crystals optimized specifically for power applications addresses EMI and RFI protection in ways that conventional shielding alone doesn't reach. Third, a more extensive grounding and shielding scheme reduces noise floor below what the standard frontRow achieves.

The result is a lower noise floor, increased resolution, and improved dynamics compared to the standard frontRow. When Audience revises a cable, the improvements tend to be obvious rather than marginal.

Our Experience

We've used Audience power cords in our reference system for years. The Reserve line represents a genuine step over the standard frontRow — the background is quieter, the dynamics more convincing, and the overall presentation more cohesive. The 2.2m length is useful for reaching from a power conditioner to a component further back in a rack.

Press Recognition

The Audience frontRow line has been reviewed by The Absolute Sound and Positive Feedback. The Reserve upgrade was specifically noted in Positive Feedback as a meaningful advancement over the already-capable frontRow, with the crystal EMI treatment singled out as effective beyond what the description might suggest.
