Power filter knowledge

2022-05-25

A line filter or noise filter refers to an electronic filter installed between an electronic device and its power supply, the purpose of which is to reduce the electromagnetic interference conducted on the power line between the device and the power supply. The signals of electromagnetic interference are generally high-frequency signals, so the power filter used is a low-pass filter, which is mostly composed of capacitors and inductors.

Characteristic:
The purpose of the power filter is to suppress electromagnetic noise. The influence of noise can be divided into the following two types:
。Emissions: It is to reduce the noise generated by the equipment that affects the power supply or other equipment to below the allowable value of regulations (such as FCC part 15), such as the noise generated by switching power supplies.
。Immunity: It is to reduce the noise entering the equipment to the extent that it will not cause the equipment to behave abnormally, such as the instruments used in the transmitting equipment of radio stations.


Bad sound?
In principle, the music signal is modulated with household electricity. These useful signals are always mixed with modulation and interference from other users in your home and nearby. This becomes more and more serious as the use of technology becomes more widespread. This distortion can cause serious problems for your audio equipment, where the sound stacks up like an acoustic haze. Since there aren't many audiophiles who build their own generators, it's almost certain that most devices are powered from the grid under heavy loads, which means the sound starts at the power outlet or fuse box—everything upstream is beyond the user's control. So doing a good job of power has become the first key to the beautiful and powerful sound of the playback system.


Can Inakustik AC-3500P Power Filter Help?

<<Voice>>
。Does not distort the sound
。On the basis of the original sound, the expressiveness has been significantly improved in many aspects, and listening is believing
<<Function>>
。Eliminate the interference of the power supply and the connecting equipment itself, digital and switching power supplies need more
。Ultra-short circuit, fast transient response
。Sufficient power supply for devices with different power consumption
。Built-in surge suppressor protects equipment from voltage spikes

<<Design>>
。Traditionally designed filters are "dynamic reducers", especially for serial circuits
。Parallel filtering removes all interference from the power system and connected equipment without limiting power
。The star distribution topology ensures that all connected devices are powered uniformly and have the same effect
。Damped sub-base plate reduces mechanical vibrations caused by 50 Hz grid frequency affecting the circuit
(50 Hz means the rotor of the generator rotates 50 cycles per second)
(capacitor discharges until next peak, 50 Hz repeats 100 times per second)

<<Equipment>>
。The power button is located below the center of the front panel for easy access
。Downlight LED indicator at the bottom of the front panel:
white → standby mode
Blue → the power outlet is active
。Six premium power output sockets on the rear panel
。In the middle is the (IEC C20) power inlet, allowing the replacement of different lengths or brands of power cords
。3680W (230VAC/16A)
。110-230VAC Universal
。Front panel in anodized brushed aluminum
