Audiolab DC Block Mains Conditioner – Silver

• Silver
• Has Been Designed To Improve The Quality Of AC Electricity That Feeds Audio & AV Systems
• Mains Electricity Has A Fundamental Influence On The Audio Signal As It Passes Through A System, From Source To Amp To Speakers.
  • The Mains Supply In A Typical Dwelling Is Subject To Interference Induced By A Range Of Issues, Causing AC Waveform To Distort Before It Reaches The Component
  • This Creates Noise In The Audio Signal, Which Degrades Sound Quality – A Situation That Continues To Worsen As The Electrical Devices We Use In Our Homes Proliferate
• One Common Issue Is ‘DC On The Mains’ – A Problem Well Known To Affect The Performance Of Audio Equipment, Especially Amplifiers
  • In Theory, The Mains Electricity We Obtain From The Sockets In Our Homes Should Be Pure AC, With A Perfectly Symmetrical Sine Wave Alternating Between Positive & Negative Phases. However, The Presence Of ‘Asymmetrical Loads’ – Myriad Household Devices That Use The AC Energy Available In The Mains Cycle Unevenly, From Dimmer Switches To Kitchen Appliances To Computer Power Supplies – Causes The Waveform To Become Offset, Resulting In The Presence Of DC Voltage On The AC Supply
• The AC Transformers Commonly Used In In Home Audio Equipment Cannot Tolerate The Presence Of Significant Levels Of DC Voltage Without Being Compromised
  • Less Than 500mV Of DC – Typical In An Average Household Electricity Supply – Can Be Sufficient To Cause Toroidal Transformers Of The Kind Often Found In Amplifiers To Become Saturated, Which Adversely Affects Sonic Performance & May Cause Audible Mechanical Vibration
  • By Blocking, Or Cancelling, DC Voltage Found Within The Mains Supply, The Audiolab DC Block Corrects The DC Offset & Rebalances The Mains Sine Wave.
  • Tackling ‘DC On The Mains’ Is Not The Only Benefit Delivered By This Dual-Action Device – It Also Contains A High-Performance Audio Class Filtering Circuit That Removes RFI/EMI Contaminants From The Mains Supply
    • This Is Effective In Reducing Both Differential-Mode Noise (Exacerbated By Cheap Switch-Mode Power Supplies Used By Many Home Appliances) & Common-Mode Noise (Aggravated By Airborne Interference From Phones, WiFi Networks & Bluetooth)
• Simple Set-Up
  • Using The DC Block Is Simple – Plug Its Output Into The IEC Socket Of An Audio/AV Component, Then Connect Its Input To A Mains Socket (Both Cables Are Provided)
  • The Device Is Designed For Use With A Single Audio or AV System Component
    • Audiolab Recommends That If Only 1 DC Block Is Purchased, It Should Be Used With The Integrated Amplifier or Power Amplifier Component To Obtain The Maximum Benefit
    • If Desired, Further Units May Be Purchased To Use With Other Electronics In The System. With Each Additional DC Block, Further Incremental Improvements In Overall System Performance Can Be Expected
• Height: 59mm, Width: 113mm, Depth: 140mm
• Weight: 0.7Kg
