ISOL-8 PowerLine Extreme Power Distribution Unit

The PowerLine Extreme includes all the conditioning power of the PowerLine Ultra, but with the addition of DC blocking. The unit has 4 fully conditioned sockets for source components and power supplies and one high current socket for integrated amplifiers or power amps. Isol-8 have tested the Extreme on a number of systems, including Naim Audio equipment and in all cases found significant improvement in detail, depth and stability of the sound stage and reduction in background noise. At the same time there was no reduction in dynamics and musical timing. 

ISOL-8 SubStation LCX Power Conditioner

The SubStation LCX is Isol-8's ultimate high performance mains conditioning and distribution solution for all your source components. A full width version of their flagship SubStation LC, Isol-8's customers asked for a model with more outlets and they listened, providing 6 outlets rather than 4. Isol-8 also further enhanced the performance of this design with one more stage of conditioning. The SubStation LCX utilises their proven semi-modular format and DC blocking as standard. Standing alone or in combination for even greater performance. An effective solution to satisfy the most demanding audiophile.

ISOL-8 PowerLine Chroma Power Distribution Unit

The PowerLine Chroma has the same AV specific filter complement as the 1080 but with six instead of four sockets. There is an extra outlet for the high power section plus an extra outlet for source components.

ISOL-8 MiniSub Chroma Power Conditioner

The MiniSub Chroma is hand crafted for outstanding build quality. Inside the quality casework you will find the same carefully auditioned polypropylene capacitors, Mundorf OFC inductors, high grade connectors, and custom ISOL-8 chokes that are found in ISOL-8's high end audiophile products. You will also have the peace of mind that comes with their spike and surge protection.

ISOL-8 MiniSub Axis Power Conditioner

The MiniSub Axis has exactly the same layout and filter complement as the MiniSub Wave but takes performance another step forward with the addition of Axis DC blocking. A significant DC component is commonly found on the mains power supply. It affects the crucial magnetic circuit of your equipment’s AC power supplies, degrading system performance and causing acoustic noise through mechanical vibration. The MiniSub Axis ensures your system will be free of any of the negative effects of DC on the mains.

ISOL-8 MiniSub Wave Power Conditioner

Both the MiniSub Wave and MiniSub Axis share the same fundamental layout and filter complement. The differing technical requirements of low and high current loads are reflected in the separated filter topology found in both versions.

ISOL-8 SubStation HC Power Conditioner

The SubStation HC (High current) complements the LC, providing 16 Amps continuously across its two outlets for high peak current loads such as amplification.  A high capacity DC blocking Axis circuit is complemented by a massively constructed Transmodal filter. Using proprietary custom wound components, kilos of OFC copper foil and premium capacitors to keep series resistance low, the SubStation HC effortlessly tackles the very thorny problem of effectively cleaning a high current power supply without compromising dynamic performance.

ISOL-8 SubStation LC Power Conditioner

The SubStation LC (Low current) is the foundation of the range, optimising power for your source components. 8 Amps is continuously available across the four outlets. Preceded by a high power DC blocking Axis circuit, each outlet has its own multistage Transmodal filter to suppress cross-contamination between components. The LC is constructed to last a lifetime with carefully auditioned premium components including OFC copper foil inductors. With the SubStation LC at heart of your system it will readily liberate performance lost to compromised mains power. It is our ultimate passive power conditioner for low to medium current loads.

ISOL-8 SubStation Axis Power Conditioner

The SubStation Axis provides a more economical third option with the considerable benefits of DC blocking, but without multistage filtering. Where the mains waveform is not perfectly symmetrical in energy content a DC component will be present, this partially saturates the power supply’s mains transformer. This can lead to acoustic hum and reduced performance from connected equipment.  A high current version of the acclaimed ISOL-8 Axis circuit blocks any DC on the incoming mains. Four outlets supply a continuous current capability of 16A across the unit with a suitable mains connection. The SubStation Axis is eminently suitable for lifting the performance of all high end system components.

ISOL-8 PowerLine Axis Power Distribution Unit

The PowerLine Axis provides an innovative cure to the problem of DC on the mains supply. In theory the mains waveform should be pure AC: a perfect, symmetrical sine wave. In practice the waveform can arrive at the end user clipped, distorted and asymmetrical with a significant DC voltage component. The AC transformers commonly found in equipment power supplies cannot, by nature, tolerate significant DC without being compromised. The PowerLine Axis has five high quality outlets served by a network that re-centres the voltage axis of the mains waveform. This eliminates any DC voltage on the mains power supply, suppressing mechanical hum and liberating performance. Surge protection provides peace of mind too.

ISOL-8 PowerLine Ultra 6 Power Distribution Unit

The PowerLine Ultra 6 Way has the same filter and feature set of the Ultra, but with adds two extra sockets. One additional socket for high power loads and one additional socket for audio source components.

ISOL-8 PowerLine Ultra Power Distribution Unit

The PowerLine Ultra is fully power conditioned, surge protected, and optimised for audio. One Direct Connection outlet is provided, filtered by a high current shunt filter, and is suitable for loads such as amplifiers. The remaining outputs are for source components and benefit from ISOL-8s Transmodal filter technology. Noise in mains wiring can be transmitted and induced in many ways, some are easier to deal with than others. As a result, many power conditioners are not completely effective. ISOL-8s Transmodal filters effectively attenuate all modes of transmitted and induced mains noise, without dumping it to ground, so you can be sure that your system benefits from the cleanest possible power.

ISOL-8 PowerLine Plus Power Distribution Unit

PowerLine Plus carries a number of features to lift performance even further. Mains earth has a finite impedance and does behave as an antenna, perfect for capturing RF energy. The PowerLine Plus earth line choke is custom made with a special high permeability core. This gives massive attenuation of any RF noise in the system earth bus and signal ground. The input connector is a rhodium plated IEC by Oyaide. Finally, a single pole shunt filter is fitted. This topology allows direct connection of the live and neutral conductors to the load, providing effective noise attenuation without any impact on peak current delivery.
