  • Mains Multiplier 5 | Essential Audio Tools

    Mains Multiplier 5 1/5 Features 'Star-wired' phase, neutral and earth for best performance Protects all five contacts by the Pulse Protector inside IEC C13 input connector gives the freedom to use preferred power cord Two HF filtered output sockets Watch our 'How It's made ' of the Mains Multiplier 5. What to ex pect? An improvement in dynamics , a much better sound image and a lower hum level . The sound character of your audio system remains, fortunately. By using the Mains Multiplier 5 with integrated Pulse Protector your equipment has less trouble with electrical failures induced by distortion on your power network and it is better protected against damage through lightning impact nearby. A guarantee that lightning impacts will not damage your devices can not be given because the energy-content is too high. Where to use? Wherever you need to connect a maximum of 5 devices to the mains, the Mains Multiplier 5 is the best choice. Of course you will have to use high performance power cords, else the multiplier will not perform at its best. It's a combination of factors; only if you use the multiplier in combination with high performance power cords you will achieve the maximum results for your audio system. It is possible to use a Mains Multiplier 5 as an ordinary multiple socket without high performance power cords, but this will not give you optimal results. Our advice is to upgrade to our Current Conductor cables , the result will be rewarding. Working principle Our Mains Multipliers are not just regular multiple sockets but more works of art made with a precision CNC machine that shapes the forms out of POM-C. This high quality synthetic material combines superior electric isolation with low vibration properties. The Multipliers also have shock absorbing feet to suppress mechanical vibrations. Wiring for phase, neutral and earth is connected by a star principle; every outlet has its own wiring towards the inlet. Peaks in the current or interference signals that appear on the contacts of one socket will have less effect on the other sockets. Just behind the IEC input connector a Pulse Protector is integrated. This prevents peaks and pulses to reach your equipment. For more information, read about the Pulse Protecto r elsewhere on this website. Two outputs are fitted with high frequency (HF) filters which contribute to a natural sound and detailed image. These filtered outlets can be used to connect analogue and digital audio equipment. The type of the five schuko sockets is chosen because of the high contact pressure, which is obvious when putting in or pulling out a power plug. More contact pressure and an excellent contact surface do create a low resistance value which is essential for great power distribution. The results speak for themselves; optical as well as electrical.

  • Current Spyder | Essential Audio Tools

    Current Spyder 1/2 Features Two layers of screening No external field around power cord Connectors with high contact pressure and excellent contact surface Can easily transport high currents without power loss Protects your equipment by the Pulse Protector inside Reduces cable mess Twisted OFC Copper stranded wires Very transparent sound due to at least 50% less contact joints compared to multiple sockets More rest in quiet music parts, more details and improved soundstage Working principle Without noticing we are in a very polluted environment. Everywhere around us fields arise from currents flowing through conductors, signals from radio stations, mobile phones, WiFi and other communication networks. Electromagnetic interference is not visible to us, it's just there. Each device using energy causes fluctuations on the network in the form of peaks or surges, or causes a variation in the electromagnetic fields in the air. The effects occur around the device itself and on its mains supply, but even far away from the device the fields are still measurable. This can only be measured with suitable equipment, not with our ears. Common thought is that shielded power cords protect the connected devices better against influences from outside, which is true. Much more important is that the field created by the fluctuating current inside the power cord itself does not reach interlinks and speaker cables in the neighbourhood. Interlinks transport small signals to audio devices with a high input resistance. This high input resistance makes equipment extremely sensitive to interferences. Many power cords for audio purposes look beautiful, just like ours. But appearance is not all! The Current Spyders use dual shielded cables . The outside shield is NOT braided steel (a steel screening does not function as a shield but is meant to protect the cable against physical force). Instead, the Current Spyder cables have a braided high density COPPER screen with a layer of tin which prevents oxidation. Under the tinned copper shielding lies a 100% closed aluminium foil for suppression of high frequencies . In contradiction to a synthetic foil, this solution works! The OFC (Oxygen Free Copper) stranded wires are suitable to conduct high currents without resistive losses (the losses of energy in the form of heat). The earth wire is connected at both sides, the shield is only connected at the feeding side, as it is supposed to be. The connectors provide high contact pressure and excellent contact surface which results in optimal conductivity . Finally, we gave the plug a nice CNC machined hood. When you have 4 devices to connect to the mains supply, please have a look at our Mains Multiplier Myni. Clever thinking! The idea is simple: a power cord with at one end a single power plug and at the other end three output cables with IEC connectors. The primary cable is available in two lengths (75 and 150cm) and the secondary cables are available in lengths of 20, 30 and 40cm or 3x 40cm, so if you have a stacked set of equipment the Current Spyder L will hang down without taking a lot of space behind your set. The result: reduced cable mess and much better performance. The Current Spyder L (on purpose with 'y', just because we like it) is equipped with a Pulse Protector to protect your valuable audio equipment . Current Spyder L (type A) Current Spyder L (type B) Choose out of four different types: Current Spyder L A75, primary 75cm, secondary 20, 30, 40cm Current Spyder L A150, primary 150cm, secondary 20, 30, 40cm Current Spyder L B75, primary 75cm, secondary 3x 40cm Current Spyder L B150, primary 150cm, secondary 3x 40cm Where to use The Current Spyder L not only makes audio sets perform better , it also reduces the visible cable mess . The relationship with your life-partner will become much better. Probably you can give hints to have this for your birthday! The Current Spyder L is designed to feed audio equipment standing on top of each other. Thus, the Spyder will hang down and disappear behind the set while lowering the external fields . What to expect The result of using our Current Spyder L can vary from small changes to big surprises. The most heard improvement is the quietness in silent parts of the music as well as more noticeable details and more holographic soundstage . A high quality recording with on average a low volume and high dynamics will benefit most from the lowered background noise. This background is most described by our users as "dark" and "deep".

  • Pulse Protector | Essential Audio Tools

    Pulse Protector 1/3 Benefits Eliminates peaks and spikes on your mains supply Protects your equipment Enhanced soundstage The Pulse Protector is incorporated in all our Mains Multipliers and Current Spyder What to expect? When using a Pulse Protector peaks and spikes in the mains supply will be suppressed. Your equipment will have less problems like getting stuck or spontaneously attempting the wrong actions and it is better protected against damage by lightning impact nearby. A guarantee that lightning impacts will not damage your equipment can not be given because the amount of energy involved is too large. An improvement in the dynamics, increased quality of the sound image and suppression of the hum level. The sound character of the audio system remains, fortunately. Where to use? There are two possible situations. You know where the pulses originate, or you have no clue where they're coming from. When you know which device produces the interference, you can solve the problem at the source. Place the Pulse Protector as close as possible to the device that is producing these pulses, preferably in the same (wall) socket. This will most likely solve the problem. With 'as close as possible' we really mean as close as possible. Every centimeter away from the source will make the Pulse Protector less effective. When you don't know were the interference is coming from, you can only prevent it to reach your audio system by placing the Pulse Protector as close as possible to the device(s) you want to protect. Here the same rule counts: put the Pulse Protector in the same (wall) socket where also your audio equipment is connected to. Placing several Pulse Protectors in the same area will not have a negative effect. They can not damage your system and don't consume energy. Wherever a Pulse Protector is placed pulses make no chance! Working principle Interferences mostly arise on the power network when switching a device on or off, but the disturbances can also be induced by industry in the neighbourhood or elevators in the building. Also computers, refrigerators, washing machines, dryers, switching power supplies, power drills and many other to the mains supply connected appliances can cause interferences. The presence of interference can be heard, but small interferences can only be proven by assistance of special measurement equipment. When you are having trouble with a CD- or DVD player that gets stuck in the menu, a tuner that for no reason jumps to another station, or a garage door that spontaneously opens, then it's likely that a Pulse Protector will solve your problems. The Pulse Protector is a robust assembled plug with components that convert each pulse above 250 Volt into thermal energy. By monitoring the Phase-Neutral, Phase-Earth and Neutral-Earth circuits, your equipment is in save hands. The Pulse Protector is not a filter. All signals under the 250 Volt barrier pass, high as well as low frequencies . The Pulse Protector will not even take notice of low voltage signals. Therefore.....there will be no difference in sound character or sound image! Phase-Neutral, Fase-Earth and Neutral-Earth 250 Volt 2500 Volt 4500 Ampere 3x65 Joule <25 nanoseconds 39.5mm diameter x 65mm (without pins) 100 gram Specifications Protecting: Maximum voltage: Maximum peak voltage: Maximum peak current: Maximum peak energy: Response time: Dimensions: Weight: Checking out the phase of your mains supply and good filtering are also beneficial for your audio system. These benefits can be achieved with our Sound Saver and Noise Eater .

Current Conductor S Current Conductor L Current Conductor HC Current Conductor 8 Where to use If it is up to us, everywhere! The upmost effect can be obtained when all power cords from consuming devices are replaced. The external fields will thus be much lower, reaching acceptable values and causing less interference. Power cords close to interlinks are even more important. They should be replaced, especially when the signal transport is unbalanced (with RCA/phono plugs). When power cords are wired in parallel of signal cables or when a signal cable is coming from or going to a phono stage, it's highly recommended to use Current Conductor cables. Because the total resistance is linearly proportional to the cable length, the low resistance of our Current Conductor can also work in your advantage when using over large distances. What to expect The result of experimenting with our Current Conductor power cables can vary from small changes to big surprises. The most heard improvement is the quietness in silent parts of the music as well as more noticeable details and more holographic soundstage.

  • Noise Eater | Essential Audio Tools

    Noise Eater 1/3 Benefits Parallel filter which doesn't slow down currents Multiple filter stages Small investment for performance Protection against spikes between phase and neutral Many disturbances in audio performance will disappear More rest in quiet music parts and more details Your soundstage will be more transparent Review by hifi.nl "An improvement that becomes audible as cleaner and quieter, freed from harsh sounds if they are not in the music." Click here for review What to expect? The Noise Eater removes disturbances and noise from the mains supply. Because the mains current "passes-by" the filter it will not produce noticeable heat. The sound character of your system will certainly not change, but the calmness in the sound and the stability of the image will be very noticeable, especially during working hours when there are more disturbance on the mains supply. The Noise Eater is a small investment with maximum performance . The difference is audible immediately! Where to use? Like the Pulse Protector , the Noise Eater also has to be placed close to the audio equipment, preferably in the same (double) wall socket feeding the power strip, else in the power strip itself feeding your audio equipment. The Noise Eater can be used for devices as CD-players, D/A-converters, tuners, phono stages, but also (integrated) amplifiers will benefit , even large ones! Several Noise Eaters in one (wall) socket is in most cases useless, multiple Noise Eaters throughout your house is a good idea, but feel free to do experiments… The Noise Eater is not critical to phase, you can just plug the Noise Eater in the wall socket or power strip. Phase-Neutral 250 Volt 2500 Volt 4500 Ampere 65 Joule <25 nanoseconds 39.5mm diameter x 129mm (without pins) 240 gram Specifications Protecting: Maximum voltage: Maximum peak voltage: Maximum peak current: Maximum peak energy: Response time: Filters frequencies above audio spectrum Dimensions: Weight: Working principle Interferences mostly arise on the power network when switching a device on or off, but the disturbances can also be induced by industry in the neighbourhood or elevators in the building. Also computers, refrigerators, washing machines, dryers, switching power supplies, power drills and many other to the mains supply connected appliances can cause interferences. Low distortion on your mains supply is hard to detect, you need assistance of special measurement equipment. The effect of the distortion however is very audible. You need a special filter to clean your mains supply without slowing down currents . The Noise Eater is a parallel filter , this means that the mains supply current which feeds your audio equipment will not flow through the components of the filter. In fact the filter is only 'monitoring' the mains supply and then traps the distortion signals . Currents will not slow down and the distortion will be gone! The circuit has multiple filter stages that have been extensively tested , to ensure the sound character of the music remains intact . The Noise Eater also has an overvoltage protection between phase and neutral that converts each pulse above 250 Volt into thermal energy. The circuit itself has been poured into resin to prevent it from vibrating. Even the shell of the Noise Eater is a solid piece of POM-C material brought into shape by a CNC machine and lathe. The Noise Eater IS not just a great filter….. it also has the LOOKS of a great filter! Checking out the phase of your mains supply and protection against pulses are also beneficial for your audio system. These benefits can be achieved with our Sound Saver and our Pulse Protector .

    Myni Conductor 8, Euro coupling, IEC Features Two layers of screening No external field around power cord Connectors with high contact pressure and excellent contact surface Can easily transport high currents without power loss Twisted OFC Copper stranded wires More rest in quiet music parts, more details and improved soundstage Specifically designed for our Mains Multiplier Myni . Myni Conductor Euro coupling Working principle Without noticing we are in a very polluted environment. Everywhere around us fields arise from currents flowing through conductors, signals from radio stations, mobile phones, WiFi and other communication networks. Electromagnetic interference is not visible to us, it's just there. Each device using energy causes fluctuations on the network in the form of peaks or surges, or causes a variation in the electromagnetic fields in the air. The effects occur around the device itself and on its mains supply, but even far away from the device the fields are still measurable. This can only be measured with suitable equipment, not with our ears. Common thought is that shielded power cords protect the connected devices better against influences from outside, which is true. Much more important is that the field created by the fluctuating current inside the power cord itself does not reach interlinks and speaker cables. Interlinks transport small signals to audio devices with a high input resistance. This high input resistance makes equipment extremely sensitive to interferences. Many power cords for audio purposes look beautiful, just like ours. But appearance is not all! The Myni Conductors are dual shielded cables . The outside shield is NOT braided steel (a steel screening does not function as a shield but is meant to protect the cable against physical force). Instead, the Myni Conductor cables have a braided high density COPPER screen with a layer of tin which prevents oxidation . Under the tinned copper shielding lies a 100% closed aluminium foil for suppression of high frequencies . In contradiction to a synthetic foil, this solution works! The OFC (Oxygen Free Copper) stranded wires are suitable to conduct high currents without resistive losses (the losses of energy in the form of heat). The earth wire is connected at both sides, the shield is only connected at the feeding side, as it is supposed to be. The connectors provide high contact pressure and excellent contact surface which results in optimal conductivity . Myni Conductor 8 Myni Conductor IEC Where to use If it is up to us, everywhere! The upmost effect can be obtained when all power cords from consuming devices are replaced. The external fields will thus be much lower, reaching acceptable values and causing less interference. Power cords close to interlinks are even more important. They should be replaced, especially when the signal transport is unbalanced (with RCA/phono plugs). When power cords are wired in parallel of signal cables or when a signal cable is coming from or going to a phono stage, it's highly recommended to use Myni Conductor cables. Because the total resistance is linearly proportional to the cable length, the low resistance of our Myni Conductor can also work in your advantage when using over large distances . What to expect The result of experimenting with our Myni Conductor power cables can vary from small changes to big surprises. The most heard improvement is the quietness in silent parts of the music as well as more noticeable details and more holographic soundstage . A high quality recording with on average a low volume and high dynamics will benefit most from the lowered background noise. This background is most described by our users as "dark" and "deep".
