THE POWER TO PERFORM
The first input into any audio or AV system is electricity. It flows through
the system, utilised by each component in turn to create the signal that
eventually moves the speakers’ drive units or delivers the pixels on-screen.
What we see and hear is ultimately fashioned from, and by, mains electricity
– it is the ‘raw material’ from which the ‘art’ is created.
The mains supply is distorted by numerous factors
as it travels from power stations to be distributed
throughout our homes, eroding the performance of
high-quality audio and AV systems. As the electronic
devices we use proliferate and the demand for
electrical power intensifies, the quality of the
electricity we feed our systems continues to slide.
‘Differential Mode noise’ is especially exacerbated
by the switch-mode power supplies that are
common in many modern devices, from
computers to kitchen appliances.
‘Common Mode noise’ is ever-increasing thanks
to wireless networking in the home, with mobile
phones, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth bathing us in a sea of
airborne interference. Without IsoTek, you are only
accessing around 80 percent of your system’s full
potential, at best.

Differential Mode mains noise is created by all electrical appliances –
everything with a power supply, in fact. This includes your microwave oven,
your television and your computer, as well as every hi-fi component you own.
Common Mode mains noise is often referred to as RFI – transmitted
frequencies that surround us but we cannot see. For example, imagine how
much data is transmitted by smartphones and tablets; cheap power cables
act as aerials (antennas) for these unwanted frequencies.

SINE WAVE CORRECTION
From a high quality audio point of view, mains electricity needs two
factors; a nice 50 or 60Hz sine wave supplied from a very low impedance
source, without radio frequency noise. The low impedance makes
for a near constant voltage regardless of how much power is used
in the surrounding area. In reality we can typically expect around 5%
fluctuation. The very low impedance of the mains, which is way below
1 ohm at 50 or 60Hz is not maintained when approaching radio frequencies
(
50 ohms 100 kHz) and acts as an aerial (antenna) inviting RF noise.
IsoTek’s power cleaning circuits are designed to reduce impedance whilst
remaining safe as well as correcting well into the audio frequency bands. This
is not only a judgment from sound electrical engineering, but it also follows
the codes of electrical safety, which are independently assessed.
MULTIPLE FILTER SYSTEM
Many IsoTek products are not just a single power cleaning system but are
multiple power cleaners in one convenient chassis. The advantage being that
each component in your audio system has its own dedicated clean power
delivery system. Furthermore, Differential Mode noise, created as electrical
devices draw power, is kept to a minimum and the possibility of electrical noise
cross contamination between outlet sockets is eliminated.
Many power cleaning systems simply place a standard filter design in a box with
all outlet sockets joined together in series one after the other, thus connected
equipment cross contaminates and the purpose of the product is lost.
