The PowerStation uses iFi’s Active Noise Cancelation II to ACTIVELY eliminates noise across the frequency range, even across the lower frequencies. Each outlet has added passive filters to also eradicate noise from the very highest frequencies. From humble beginnings The PowerStation doesn’t forget where it came from – the original AC iPurifier. You can still use your original AC iPurifier with the PowerStation – use them to separate your digital and analogue devices for even less noise contamination. This is an active not a passive product. As can be seen from the graph, it cancels far more noise across the frequency range than a passive product. Active filtration is MUCH better in the lower frequencies, at -40dB. Passive filtration is only truly effective in the very top-end of the frequency range. Discover more about passive v active filtration and noise contamination here. Based on military tech, our improved Active Noise Cancellation2® (ANC2) actively cancels all incoming noise. It does this by generating a signal identical to the noise signal but in the exact opposite phase. It reduces the noise floor by > 40dB (> 100x). PurCopper – a form of 99.9999 per cent pure OFHC (oxygen-free high-conductivity) continuous-cast copper – is used extensively for its superior conductivity. This includes 13 AWG, heavy-gauge internal wiring with multi-layered polymer insulation, solid PurCopperbusbars and the conductive elements of the outlets themselves. Our Wireless Purification System (WPS) is a complex circuit that reduces power line noise without audible or measured side-effects. This is important because other solutions, while attempting to curb noise, also hamper dynamics. The LED indicators show Polarity and Earth detection. As usual, green is good, red signifies an issue. There are four possible combinations and these can be found in a brief table in the User Manual. This tells you what the issue is and suggests how to remedy it. The Over-voltage Surge Protection (OSP) is an auto detection and cut-off circuit. Should it detect an excessive power surge or short in the mains electricity it will automatically cut off. If this issue persists, it will not reboot and will protect your equipment from harm. It is effectiive to max. 30,000A @ 1,000V/10uS. Our Intelligent Ground is a smart diagnostic tool. It only actively provides an earth/ground connection if your system needs one. It will NOT create a ground loop even if the system is already earthed/grounded. You can use AC iPurifiers in the PowerStation. The more AC iPurifiers you use, the cleaner the overall power. If the AC iPurifier is placed in the middle of the PowerStation it will also act as a noise shield. Noise is reduced, isolated and confined to the respective left/right sections of the AC iPurifier. Use it to separate your analogue and digital devices.
