SnubWay TM 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 10kHz to 2MHz 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 100kHz 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 busses. 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.

To use SnubWay, simply plug it into a power outlet located as close to your equipment that you want to have filtering achieved. For instance, a power outlet strip. Insert SnubWay into the first outlet position and your audio equipment after SnubWay. As its name implies, SnubWay provides multiple snubbers coming together in one spot - similar to a busy subway train station interchange where multiple train lines connect. The difference here is that the different “noise trains” come to the SnubWay, but they don’t leave! SnubWay is designed to reduce and absorb SMPS noise in the mains by up to 28dB (this can vary and is dependent on customer specific equipment and house wiring arrangement and condition).

Excellent product

Snubway

I am so impressed with these AC Filters from Verafi Audio they have bettered everything else I have compared them to by a country mile. Even at 10x the price they are an essential addition to any system and dare I say an absolute bargain! I have just placed an order for another pair these are the real deal.

SnubWay - Noise Defender

I really like both the Snub Way and Main Stream. Significant noise reduction with no loss of detail at all. I like using them so much with my stereo that I bought a second set to for my home theater with excellent results. These are much more effective than the puron, which I moved over to my subwoofer with good effect. Well worth the money at my home!

SnubWay

I think it is one of the best plug in products on the market.

Excellent Value

I bought 3 of them, 2 for my desktop system and 1 for my surround system, all plugged into the first outlets of power conditioners. They provided clearly audible improvements in sound quality and enhanced my enjoyment of the music, more nuances, better dynamics, bigger soundstage.....For the money, they are an excellent value for upgrading highly resolving systems.

Snubway-Great Bang for the Buck

I bought this along with the Mainstream. Each one I put in was a very pleasant surprise. It was even a bigger surprise after some break in. I didn't expect this much improvement in sound quality. Just what I was looking for- more detail and texture while still sounding natural. Great product.

Transformation In An All Streaming System

I just installed my third SnubWay, this time in the outlet directly adjacent to the one powering my Xfinity cable modem which is located in my garage. Wow. While I noticed a positive difference with the first two which are installed in each of the two 20 amps circuits feeding my system, but the impact of this third one in this location was off the charts positive. Powerline noise is insidious, and it's negative effects are really only apparent in your system when you take steps to significantly reduce it--the background becomes darker, revealing much more unforced detail and ambient cues, the soundstage expands in all dimensions, bass becomes tighter, deeper and more textured, etc. Highly recommended, and you have thirty days to experiment with it in your system. A no-brainer if there ever was one...

SnubWay Works

I installed my Snubway on the first outlet of my Niagara 1200. The reduction in noise floor was instantly apparent. It did not reduce music dynamics. Very happy!

The product does what it promises.

A truly amazing device!

I was not expecting much, as my system is already very heavily tweaked with respect to noise elimination. Boy, was I in for a surprise. With just 24 hrs of settling in after plugging the SnubWay into my Torus RM20, my system now delivers that magical sound that normally only occurs during rare moments in the middle of the night, but now it sounds like that all day! This device is a real no-brainer, especially with VerFi's very generous return policy. Give it a try - I'd be willing to bet you'll keep it!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is the SnubWay - Noise Defender?

The SnubWay is a device designed to reduce AC noise in your audio system, enhancing sound clarity and overall performance. SnubWay works on eliminating Switch Mode Power Supply Noise which poisons your AC Mains.

How do I install the SnubWay in my audio setup?

Simply plug the SnubWay into an available outlet on the same circuit as your audio equipment. No additional setup is required. We prefer any open Duplex on the Wall, but can be used with Power Conditioners if no open Duplex exists.

Will the SnubWay work with any audio system?

Yes, the SnubWay is compatible with a wide range of audio systems and components. If you have a Flat Panel TV in your home or use Wall Chargers for Mobile Phones, you will benefit from having a SnubWay.

Can I use multiple SnubWay devices in my setup?

Yes, using multiple SnubWay devices can further reduce noise across different circuits in your audio setup.

Why doesn't the SnubWay have an indicator light to show it's working?

The SnubWay operates passively to filter out high-frequency noise from your power supply. It lacks LED indicator lights by design, as its effectiveness is instantly reflected through improved clarity in TV screens and improved audio performance of the system rather than through visual indicators on the product.
