Isotek has unveiled its latest weapon in the fight to rid our hi-fi systems of a poor quality mains supply. The Sirius is a six-way power strip aimed specifically at audio systems and containing cutting-edge mains conditioning circuitry fresh from IsoTek’s R&D facility. As well as delivering sufficient sockets to power most set-ups, it also ensures the electricity supply delivered to each component is free from the kind of mains-borne interference that can significantly erode the performance of hi-fi components.

New Technologies

Replacing the award-winning GII Multi-Way in IsoTek’s range, the Sirius is now the most affordable six-way distribution strip made by the company, yet it is also exceptionally advanced. Here’s a summary of some of the new IsoTek technologies that have been developed for this exiting product:

Inductive Resistance Gate

Unique to IsoTek, this newly developed technology optimises the isolation between each of the Sirius’ six outlets without compromising transient power ability.

K.E.R.P. Technology

Developed from technology previously only available in IsoTek’s highend Nova and Titan mains conditioning products, K.E.R.P. (Kirchoff’s Equal Resistance Path) ensures optimum power sharing from one socket to the next.

Protection Redefined

In tandem with enhancing the performance of the equipment attached, power conditioning products should also provide adequate protection for both the system and the conditioning unit itself. The new EVO3 range of products, including the entry-level Sirius mains distribution strip, feature IsoTek’s most advanced protection circuitry to date – real-world, fit-for-purpose solutions to real-world problems. More information about these new IsoTek technologies may be found in the in-depth press release attached to this e-mail.

All power distribution strips are NOT the same!

There are many distribution strips on the market today. Some merely provide extra sockets; others add basic spike/surge protection; some contain more sophisticated filtering technologies to protect and enhance. IsoTek specialises in developing mains conditioning products that are uniquely ‘fit for purpose’ – whether the application is audio, video or both.

The circuitry contained with the Sirius is the result of IsoTek’s painstaking research in the field of power management and is unique to the product. Don’t be fooled – there are cheaper products on the market but none of them come close to Sirius’ class-leading performance in terms of both protection and the ability to enhance sound quality.

Caring for the environment

IsoTek has always considered environmental issues as an integral part of its design philosophy. To this end, the company meets all aspects of legislation concerning disposals, lead-free components and recycling of all materials. In addition, the new EVO3 products – including the Sirius - exceed proposed regulations concerning power consumption (specifically, it is proposed that no component shall consume more 0.5 watts of power in a standby situation). The Sirius exceeds this requirement yet is in no way limited when it comes to performance. What’s more, all IsoTek products carry a 25-year lifetime guarantee. Unlike many other power management products on the market, they are designed and built to last – from an environmental point of view, this is the most important quality of all.
