The Flagship Power Delivery in the Norse 2 Series | Available at Trimira Audio
The Nordost Tyr 2 Power Cord is a high-performance mains cable within Nordost's Norse 2 Series, designed for demanding audio components where carefully controlled conductor geometry, dielectric construction, and current delivery are priorities.
Combining Micro Mono-Filament technology, seven silver-plated solid-core OFC conductors, FEP insulation, mechanically tuned geometry, and precision termination options, Tyr 2 is suited to power amplifiers, monoblocks, power distribution equipment, source components, and other compatible high-performance electronics.
At Trimira Audio, we recommend the Tyr 2 Power Cord for systems seeking a high-performance Norse 2 power connection before moving into Nordost's Reference-level ranges.
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 sheath.
This creates a low-contact dielectric environment designed to minimize dielectric interaction and energy storage around the conductors.
Seven Heavy-Gauge Silver-Plated Solid-Core OFC Conductors
Tyr 2 employs 7 × 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
Tyr 2 can be configured for regional mains standards including:
- Australian 3-pin
- US NEMA
- UK
- EU Schuko
IEC options include C13 and C19, subject to the requirements of the connected equipment.

Choosing the Correct Termination
The mains plug and IEC connector should always be matched to the connected equipment's specified power inlet.
IEC C13 is common on many source components, preamplifiers, integrated amplifiers, and other HiFi electronics.
IEC C19 is intended for compatible higher-current equipment.
Trimira Audio can confirm the correct regional plug and IEC configuration before ordering.
