MusicCord Power Cord Demonstration - Pro Audio Studio Recording Gear - Hear Improved Recording Quality!
The following downloadable files were mixed mostly 'in the box'. The song "I" was mixed using Pro Tools. Tthe song "More Than a Conquer" was mixed using Digital Performer. Both songs' master outputs were routed to 2 channels on my Allen & Heath MixWizard3 analog mixer. The song "More Than a Conquer" had addition processing during the mixing process with an outboard reverb processor, which was routed to an additional 2 channels on my MixWizard3. There was no equalization or processing inserted on the channels of the mixer.

These are the raw mixes. No mastering has been performed. The only difference between the two mixes is the power cord used on the Allen & Heath's MixWizard3 Analog Mixer. One set of mixes were made using the "stock" 18-gauge power cord. The other set was made using Essential Sound Products' MusicCord-PRO power cord. That's it!
