Reference Power Delivery in the Norse 2 Series | Available at Trimira Audio
The Nordost Frey 2 Power Cord is a high-performance AC power cable within Nordost's Norse 2 Series, bringing advanced conductor and dielectric technologies to demanding high-end audio systems.
Designed for source components, preamplifiers, integrated amplifiers, power amplifiers, and other compatible electronics, Frey 2 combines Micro Mono-Filament technology, silver-plated solid-core OFC conductors, mechanically controlled geometry, FEP insulation, and precision termination options.
At Trimira Audio, we recommend the Frey 2 Power Cord for listeners seeking a substantial step up from conventional equipment-supplied mains cables and a natural progression within the Nordost cable hierarchy.
Key Features & Technological Innovations
Proprietary Micro Mono-Filament Technology
Each conductor is wrapped with a spiral FEP filament before being enclosed within an outer FEP jacket.
This creates a low-contact dielectric environment designed to reduce dielectric interaction and energy storage around the conductors.
Five Heavy-Gauge Silver-Plated Solid-Core OFC Conductors
Frey 2 employs 5 × 16 AWG solid-core conductors manufactured from 99.99999% high-purity OFC copper with pure silver plating.
The solid-core architecture provides consistent conductor geometry and substantial current-carrying capability.
Mechanically Tuned Lay & Spacing
The conductors are arranged using controlled geometry designed to manage:
- Electrical interaction
- Electromagnetic coupling
- Mechanical resonance
- Microphonic behavior
High-Grade Extruded FEP Insulation
Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene (FEP) provides a low-loss dielectric environment with strong thermal and mechanical stability.
Precision Hand Terminations
Frey 2 can be configured for regional mains standards including:
- Australian 3-pin
- US NEMA
- UK
- EU Schuko
IEC termination options include C13 and C19, depending on the requirements of the connected equipment.

Choosing the Correct Termination
The appropriate mains and IEC configuration should be selected according to the connected component.
IEC C13 is commonly used with source components, preamplifiers, integrated amplifiers, and other HiFi electronics.
IEC C19 is intended for compatible higher-current equipment and should only be selected where the component provides the corresponding inlet.
Trimira Audio can confirm the correct configuration before ordering.
