IFi Audio PowerStation – Audiophile Mains Power Extension Block – UK

Active Noise Cancellation

Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) reduces unwanted sound by the addition of a second sound wave specifically designed to cancel out the first. This basically results in no sound at all as it reaches unwanted sound even at the lowest frequencies.

Nothing left to chance

Each outlet is independently isolated in its own chamber to prevent cross-contamination, with the addition of vibration-damping EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate). iFi use PurCopper, a form of 99.9999 per cent pure OFHC (oxygen-free high-conductivity) continuous-cast copper, for its superior conductivity.

Gives you the earth

The PowerStation has inbuilt earth/ground and polarity detection. No earth/ground can lead to annoying buzzes and hums – the scourge of audio. iFi have added a 4mm banana socket to the PowerStation so a grounding cable can be used to create a ground/earth when one isn’t present.

Keeps you grounded

And the PowerStation is smart. The supplementary ground/earth connection will NOT introduce a ground loop EVEN if the system is already earthed. More than one earth would also create a ground loop leading to more buzzing and humming and we don’t want that.

Fiercely protective

Polarity detection is vital if you don’t want to hamper the quality of your audio mains. With the PowerStation, this is built-in. And never fear, maximum surge protection is also here. If it detects a power surge or a mains short, the PowerStation will shut down, protecting your downstream equipment from peril.

Not so 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.
