iFi Audio PowerStation Experience audio purity like never before with the iFi Audio PowerStation, a high-performance audiophile extension block designed to deliver super-quiet mains power to your audio system. Whether you're into digital, analog, or both, the PowerStation ensures that your audio setup remains interference-free, eliminating RFI or EMI noise for an uninterrupted listening experience. Crafted from dark anodized aluminum, the PowerStation not only looks sleek but also actively cancels noise across the entire frequency range, delivering a noise-free audio haven for your system. A Symphony of Features The iFi PowerStation employs Active Noise Cancellation II technology, actively eradicating noise from the lowest to the highest frequencies. Each outlet is independently isolated within its own chamber, complete with vibration-damping EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate), to prevent cross-contamination. The PowerStation utilizes PurCopper, a 99.9999% pure OFHC continuous-cast copper, known for its superior conductivity. Grounded in Excellence The PowerStation is equipped with built-in earth/ground and polarity detection, ensuring a buzz and hum-free listening experience. It features a 4mm banana socket to facilitate grounding when none is present, effectively eliminating unwanted noise. Additionally, the supplementary ground/earth connection avoids ground loops, ensuring the highest audio quality. Fierce Protection Polarity detection is integrated into the PowerStation to maintain the quality of your audio mains. With surge protection of up to 30,000A at 1,000V/10uS, the PowerStation acts as a guardian, automatically shutting down in the event of a power surge or mains short, ensuring the safety of your downstream equipment. Built on a Legacy The PowerStation hails from the roots of the original AC iPurifier. It is an active, not passive, product, as demonstrated by its superior noise cancellation across the frequency range, particularly excelling in the lower frequencies. Uncompromised Copper Craftsmanship PurCopper is extensively used in the PowerStation, from heavy-gauge internal wiring with multi-layered polymer insulation to solid PurCopper busbars and conductive elements in the outlets themselves. Intelligent Features The PowerStation incorporates the Wireless Purification System (WPS) to reduce power line noise without compromising dynamics. LED indicators show Polarity and Earth detection, helping you diagnose and remedy issues. Its Intelligent Ground feature only provides an earth/ground connection when necessary, ensuring no ground loops, even in earthed systems. Amplifying the Clean Power Effect Use AC iPurifiers in the PowerStation to further enhance overall power cleanliness. Placing an AC iPurifier in the center of the PowerStation acts as a noise shield, reducing, isolating, and confining noise to the respective left/right sections of the AC iPurifier. Active Noise Cancellation II®: Silence at Its Best Based on military technology, iFi's improved Active Noise Cancellation II® actively cancels incoming noise, akin to active noise-cancelling headphones, effectively eliminating low- and mid-frequency noise, while passive filters handle higher-frequency interference, making it exceptionally efficient at eliminating USB signal corruption. iFi Audio Powerstation Specifications: Noise Reduction: Achieves noise reduction greater than 40dB (> 100 times). Surge Protection: Offers maximum surge protection of 30,000A @ 1,000V/10uS. Operating Voltage: Compatible with a wide range of operating voltages, from 90V to 265V. Size: Compact dimensions of ø 478mm (length) x 96mm (width) x 76mm (height) or ø 18.8 inches (length) x 3.8 inches (width) x 2.9 inches (height). Weight: Weighs 1.98 kg (4.37 lbs), making it a portable and robust power solution. User Manual iFi Audio Nova Power Cable The Nova cable is meticulously engineered, featuring five conductors made from heavy-gauge, continuous-cast OFHC (Oxygen-Free High Thermal Conductivity) copper, arranged in a geometrically balanced configuration—an exceptional feature at this price point. Two pairs of live and neutral conductors flank the earth conductor at the center of the cable. Additionally, a pair of air-dielectric delineators, polymer matrix tubes filled with air, are positioned on either side of the earth conductor, enhancing the cable's dielectric performance and structural integrity. The cable's design is completed with a durable yet flexible polymer outer sheath and iFi's audiophile-grade connectors, featuring 24ct gold-plated oxygen-free copper conductors. Ground Zero: Purity and Silence The Nova power cable is a marvel of design, with five conductors arranged in a geometrically balanced configuration. The live and neutral conductors are precisely positioned on either side of the earth conductor, forming a truly balanced configuration, effectively canceling out magnetic fields. This innovative approach, known as the Ground Zero design, results in pure and silent power delivery. The Nova power cable boasts constant impedance and superior rejection of EMI/RFI, ensuring that the purity of mains electricity remains intact, benefitting every component in an audio or AV system. The Do-It-All Active Power Cable By combining the Nova's advanced construction with Active Noise Cancellation II, iFi Audio introduces the SupaNova, a versatile and comprehensive clean-power cable solution. The SupaNova optimizes power delivery to individual audio/AV system components, eliminating the need for separate mains conditioning devices. The SupaNova's performance enhancements include greater clarity, improved definition, enhanced dynamics, and spatial qualities, all while preventing the softening of leading edges, timing, and dynamics that can occur with inferior mains filtering products. The Ground Zero design ensures that the grounding conductor within the cable remains unaffected by residual magnetism and unwanted induced voltage. This constant impedance design maintains the purity of mains electricity flowing into each piece of equipment in your audio system or AV setup. Balanced Power for Exceptional Sound The Nova power cable employs true geometrically balanced pairs, effectively canceling out magnetic fields caused by live and neutral conductors. This balanced power cable design is a key component in the Ground Zero approach, ensuring pristine power delivery. Additionally, the double circular helix power line design, with air-dielectric delineators, further enhances RFI/EMI rejection. Concurrent shielding for individual power lines makes this cable an outstanding constant impedance solution, perfectly insulated from EMI/RFI, ensuring clean electricity feeds your audio or AV system, ultimately improving sound quality and performance.
