Audience Expands Hidden Treasure Lineup with Debut of
Premium AC Wall Receptacle
San Marcos, CA, February 28, 2019 – Audience has added a new product to its Hidden Treasure AC in-wall power solutions lineup with the introduction of its Hidden Treasure High Definition AC Wall Receptacle . The receptacles employ Audience’s proprietary MORRE (Musically Optimized Reduction of Resistive Energies) technologies to deliver cleaner, more phase-correct AC power and yield better sound and performance from audio/video components.
The new product joins Audience’s Hidden Treasure HDAC in-wall power cable to provide a complete, ultimate-quality in-wall power delivery solution for high-end audio, custom-installation, home theater, multi-room and other in-wall applications.
The Hidden Treasure High Definition AC (HDAC) Wall Receptacle features high-purity copper-core, rhodium-plated contacts that provide a tight grip and the most secure connection available. The duplex receptacle is rated for up to 20 amps and can accommodate up to 10 AWG wiring. The receptacle’s body is made from rugged thermoplastic nylon.
The receptacle is treated with Audience’s EHVP Extreme High-Voltage Process, which is a MORRE technology aspect that applies high voltages in specific combinations. This proprietary technique aligns the crystalline structure of the various metals used in the receptacle to create more efficient “pathways” for signals to travel through the materials.
“Our new Hidden Treasure wall receptacle can improve the detail, dynamics, imaging and spatial reproduction of a high-performance audio system,” said John McDonald, president of Audience. “Audience has extremely demanding performance standards that must be met before we introduce any new product, and we’re particularly pleased about the sonic benefits of our new wall receptacle.”
When used together, the Audience Hidden Treasure wall receptacle and in-wall power cable deliver the highest possible in-wall solution for high-end systems, offering clean power that is phase-correct while blocking EMF and RF interference.
The Audience Hidden Treasure High-Definition AC Wall Receptacle is currently available at a suggested retail price of $199. Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician.

Audience Introduces Its Hidden Treasure High-Performance In-Wall AC Power Cable
San Marcos, CA, June 26, 2018 – Audience today announced the introduction of its Hidden Treasure in-wall power cable, designed to provide the highest level of AC power delivery in custom-installation audio, home theater, multiroom, architectural and other in-wall applications.
Audienceís Hidden Treasure connects from a homeís circuit breaker box to the userís audio or home theater system. It is UL CL2-approved for use in 120-volt and 220-volt AC in-wall applications. Hidden Treasure is engineered for maximum signal conductivity, durability and shielding from electrical interference.
“Our new Hidden Treasure power cable is an all-out effort to provide a truly high-performance AC power wire for in-wall systems,” said John McDonald, president of Audience. “It’s the result of extensive testing and evaluation and what weíve learned from our teamís more than 20 years of combined experience in designing our world-renowned AC powerChords.”
Hidden Treasure features three 10 AWG stranded 99.9999 percent pure oxygen-free copper (OFC) conductors. The wire is cryogenically treated to relieve stresses that can be imparted to the wire during manufacturing and to re-align the microstructure in the copper for improved conductivity. The conductors are foil-shielded to provide rejection from external electrical noise. The dielectric (insulation) is made from XLPE cross-linked polyethylene insulation with a PVC sleeve for unmatched durability.
Hidden Treasure is flexible and easy to install and has a diameter of approximately 0.75 inches (18 mm).
McDonald concluded, “We are extremely happy with what weíve achieved and with the benefits that Hidden Treasure can provide to an in-wall audio or A/V system.”
Audience Hidden Treasure AC power cable is currently available at a suggested retail price of $22 per foot.
