iFi AUDIO Power Station AC Power Bar

For audio enthusiasts seeking pristine power delivery, the Power Station AC Power Bar is an essential component for any high-fidelity audio system. This audiophile-grade extension block is meticulously designed to deliver super quiet mains power, ensuring that both digital and analogue setups receive a noise-free electricity supply. Crafted from robust, dark anodized aluminum, the Power Station AC Power Bar is not only a statement of sophistication but also a fortress against interference. It is available in four regional variations: UK, EU, and AU models feature six individual sockets, while the USA/JAPAN model offers eight, catering to a wide range of power needs. At the heart of the Power Station's superior performance is iFi's Active Noise Cancellation II technology, which actively eliminates electrical noise across the entire frequency range, including the challenging lower frequencies. This advanced system is complemented by additional passive filters at each outlet, targeting and removing noise from the highest frequencies. The meticulous design extends to the internal structure of the Power Station, where each outlet is independently isolated within its own chamber. This isolation prevents cross-contamination of electrical noise between devices. The chambers are further enhanced with vibration-damping EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate), ensuring mechanical stability. The use of PurCopper, a form of 99.9999 percent pure OFHC (oxygen-free high-conductivity) continuous-cast copper, underscores the Power Station's commitment to superior conductivity. This high-grade material is utilized throughout the internal wiring, busbars, and outlet conductive elements, ensuring an unimpeded flow of clean power. Grounding is a critical aspect of any audio setup, and the Power Station addresses this with an inbuilt earth/ground and polarity detection system.

It features a 4mm banana socket for attaching a grounding cable, eliminating common audio nuisances like buzzes and hums when an earth/ground is absent. Moreover, the intelligent design prevents ground loops, even if the system is already earthed, maintaining a quiet and hum-free audio experience. The Power Station is fiercely protective of your equipment, with built-in polarity detection and surge protection. It can handle surges up to 30, 000A @ 1, 000V/10uS, automatically shutting down in the event of a power surge or mains short to safeguard your downstream devices. Building on the legacy of the original AC iPurifier, the Power Station allows for seamless integration with your existing AC iPurifiers. By using them in conjunction with the Power Station, you can further isolate digital and analogue devices, reducing noise contamination even more effectively. The Power Station's features are clearly communicated through LED indicators for polarity and earth detection, with a simple color code system for quick diagnostics. The Over-voltage Surge Protection (OSP) circuitry provides additional peace of mind, with an auto-detection and cut-off mechanism for electrical anomalies. For those who demand the ultimate in clean power for their audio systems, the Power Station AC Power Bar is a testament to performance and protection, ensuring that your audio equipment performs at its best, free from the detrimental effects of electrical noise and interference.
