Ace Power Package - Audience forte V8 Power + Main Stream and SnubWay

Audience forte V8 Power (includes F3 Power Cable)

The forte V8 Power offers end users a premium AC platform at an extremely affordable price. The V8 is substantially constructed in an extruded aluminum chassis with a hardy, high-quality copper buss bar design. The duplexes are high-quality hospital-grade, each separately wired to the buss bars in STAR ground configuration with high-purity 14 AWG stranded copper wire. The V8 also includes standard Audience RF filtration. The power cord connection is standard IEC. All parts of the electric circuit have been treated by cryogenics as well as a proprietary EHVP (extreme high voltage process). The V8 does not include surge or overload protection. However, the V8 can be plugged into any free outlet from any other Audience power conditioner, like one of the aR2p models, for extra noise filtration, surge and overload protection. Substantial listening evaluations were performed for every element, over an 18-month R&D period of the V8. Although the V8 was designed to be an affordable power block, corners were not cut at the sacrifice of good sound quality. The resulting V8 product lives up to the usual standard for Audience power products of “do no harm”. In fact, the forte V8 Power provides a musically balanced, high-resolution solution.

Main Stream - Master Class Dynamic Parallel AC Line Conditioner

Main Stream is designed to improve the performance of your high-end audio or video system by reducing the amount of AC Mains-based interference travelling on the wires within your home. This interference is created not only by other components in the system but also appliances and other electrical equipment elsewhere in the house. Sometimes even emanating from outside your home!

Of course, this interference is mostly in the RF range, but things like refrigerators, air conditioners and heaters, washers and dryers—anything with a big motor and put a pulse of energy on your home AC line, and it will be "felt" by other equipment within the home. The energy imposed on the line is absorbed or filtered in different ways, depending on the frequency band involved. Part of Mainstream's effectiveness is due to the multiple frequency bands it effects while utilizing a simple topology comprising a minimum number of parts.

Mainstream uses a combination of reactive elements to create tuned filters designed to specifically reduce the levels of noise specifically known to interfere with your audio enjoyment. Our topology excludes the use of any type of resonant transformer as a wave shaping device and rather only removes unwanted frequencies.

SnubWay - Noise Defender

SnubWay is an advanced parallel mains noise filter utilizing 4 discrete LRC filters tuned to absorb high-frequency noise from switch-mode power supplies (SMPS) and other sources in the 10 kHz to 2 MHz frequency range. Today’s homes have power lines that are constantly polluted with dirty pulse switching noises from SMPS that are so ubiquitous in modern homes. From our cell phone chargers to the power supplies for LED lamps and even our laptop computer supplies. They all utilize high-speed switching in the 100 kHz to 1 MHz range, and they often leak noise back into the house AC mains.

The SnubWay mains noise filter has multiple LRC-tuned resonant snubbers to absorb this unwanted noisy energy from SMPS’s over a broad frequency range. The LRC filters utilize nano-graphite pulse absorbers to provide a broader frequency absorption band and high-quality polyethylene film capacitors combined with precision wound copper coil inductors. The discrete filters are computer tuned and designed for optimal performance. The filters are arranged in parallel to absorb a broad range of sinusoidal and transient pulse noise sources. The LRC filters are arranged on separate PCB assemblies stacked and connected in parallel using solid 14-gauge copper wire buses. All of this is encased in a state-of-the art aluminum housing and utilizes custom-made premium Viborg plug housing with solid copper prongs and hardware.
