Operating principle
The Mains Multiplier is no ordinary power strip; it's a masterpiece created by a CNC machine that shapes this block from a single piece of high-quality, high-density plastic. Yes... Plastic! The result is impressive, both visually and electrically.
The eight contact connections were selected for their high contact pressure, which is noticeable when the connectors offer resistance during insertion and removal. Increased contact pressure and an optimal contact surface ensure lower contact resistance, which is essential for good voltage distribution.
The wiring for phase, neutral, and earth is based on the star principle. Each contact connection has its own wiring to the mains cable inlet. Load peaks or interference caused by the load on the earth wire will thus bypass the other contact connections without adversely affecting them.
Just behind the IEC input connector, a Pulse Protector is incorporated, which provides protection against pulses and peaks on the mains, and is not detrimental to the noise.
Four sockets are equipped with a Fine Filter, a special non-harmful filtering for digital sources such as CD players, DVD players, DAB tuners and D/A converters.
Where to use?
Where multiple devices need to be connected to the mains, a Mains Multiplier is ideal. However, without a high-quality power cable and power cords, using the Mains Multiplier is useless. It's a combination of factors. Only consistent use of the Mains Multiplier and high-quality power cords will achieve the desired effect: improved audio system performance.
Of course, it is also useful to use the Mains Multiplier instead of a regular power strip without proper mains cables, but the effect will not be optimal.
Our advice: keep saving a little longer, the reward is worth it!
What to expect?
An improvement in dynamics, a more tranquil soundscape, and a reduction in hum. What remains is the system's sonic character, thankfully!
Thanks to the integration of the Pulse Protector, your equipment will no longer experience runaway or crashing, and it also offers better protection against damage from nearby lightning strikes. However, there's no guarantee that lightning won't damage your equipment; the energy content is too high.
The special filtering on the four digital source inputs primarily affects the stereo image. It is more defined, resulting in a smoother sound.
The Mains Multiplier comes with a standard power cord to avoid disappointment when you get home due to the lack of one. Purchasing a good power cord like our Current Conductor will significantly increase performance.
