Overview
When
we developed the GII IsoPlug we wanted to do our best to improve on
what is basically a text book application to a problem, i.e. a delta
filter configuration across the tree poles of the mains, this
configuration formed the basis for the original IsoPlug.
Over
the last three years our products have been developing through our
ongoing research and development programs. It soon became apparent that
it was possible to advance the original IsoPlug design, thus bringing
it into GII status.
The
GII IsoPlug is a careful balance between quantity and quality, as the
circuit had to be highly effective, but be built essentially for a
price point. Even at this level the quality of components used within
the design are paramount, therefore we've employed highly effective
design principles with critical component specification.
Because
capacitors suffer from inductance (which is the opposite of
capacitance), very high quality capacitors with the least inductance
were specified. The over voltage protection has three functions,
firstly to protect your audio or AV system, secondly, to protect the
device itself (IsoPlug) and thirdly, to ease the workload of the
capacitor. This has a highly desirable effect on the overall function
of the device. A poor choice of any of these components, especially the
over voltage device can actually have an adverse effect and ruin sound
quality (dynamics).
Features
The
GII IsoPlug features two highly effective circuits that work together
and synergise to create a result far greater than the sum of the parts.
In sonic terms the GII IsoPlug has a way of making the music more
involving to listen to. The midrange, where the ear is more sensitive,
is extremely open with an increased realism in terms of imaging.
Applications
We
live today in an environment where the majority of appliances that draw
power corrupt the mains electricity supply, for example computers,
fridge freezers, TVs, etc. The result is a heavily distorted waveform
and this is not good for audio equipment. The irony is that many audio
products and often the best ones produce a lot of noise themselves.
Without doubt, the best way to attenuate this noise is as close as
possible to the source. The GII IsoPlug will solve this problem.
Simply
plug the IsoPlug into any UK 13A socket, European shuko or U.S. three
pin next to, or as close as possible, to any domestic appliance that
produces, or is suspected of producing noise. This will prevent it from
polluting the mains in the rest of your home. Use the IsoPlug to
eliminate mains noise so that your Hi-Fi or A/V system can perform at
its best. More than one IsoPlug can be used to reduce mains noise
further. We suggest that you should start with the socket next to your
system, and then position additional IsoPlugs near noisy appliances,
fridge freezer, computers, etc.
There
is no harm in experimentation. Make sure your plug socket switch is in
the on position. Although the IsoPlug works brilliantly on its own
further benefits can be achieved when more than one are used together.
