ISOL-8 PowerLine Axis 5 Way Mains Block

ISOL-8 PowerLine Axis 5 Way Mains Block

Please Note : Power Cables are not supplied with this block.

Every system needs a quality power supply to give of its best. PowerLine is a family of compact Power Distribution Units (PDU) that are designed to lift system performance, harnessing ISOL-8's power expertise at an affordable price. In combination with our range of IsoLink shielded mains cables, PowerLine offers a flexible but powerful solution tailored for those who put performance and value first.

All versions feature an anodised 6mm thick CNC'd aluminum top plate. This forms an ideal mechanical foundation: non magnetic and non resonant. Input is by IEC connector with a Neutrik PowerCon an option on many variants. Each high quality power outlet has a hinged cover to IP54, protecting unused outlets from dirt, dust and little fingers. Wiring is carefully selected silver plated copper with PTFE insulation throughout, providing excellent power transmission properties, reliably supplying your system for years to come.

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.

About ISOL-8 

ISOL-8, a UK-based company, is at the forefront of providing top-of-the-line power conditioning and distribution equipment for hi-fi and audiovisual systems. Whether you require power management, a simple performance enhancement, or the latest state-of-the-art solutions, ISOL-8 has the perfect answer.

Established in 2003 by Nic Poulson, ISOL-8 addresses the issue of compromised power supplies in hi-fi and AV systems. With Poulson's background in broadcast engineering and his commitment to excellence, ISOL-8 has emerged as a leading authority in mains power conditioning for audio and AV applications.

Drawing on his expertise from working with the BBC and in audio amplification and airport lighting systems, Poulson recognised the need to address the overlooked power supply challenges in hi-fi and AV systems. This led to the formation of IsoTek Systems, followed by the establishment of ISOL-8 to continue the development of Poulson's groundbreaking ideas.

Poulson's innovative approach has revolutionised power conditioning in the industry. He pioneered using multiple filter sections to combat noise cross-contamination between audio components and introduced DC blocking techniques to enhance sound quality. ISOL-8's use of Transmodal filter technology, which effectively blocks common and differential mode noise without redirecting it to ground, sets them apart in the audio and AV applications market.

ISOL-8 has dispelled the negative perception associated with power conditioning by overcoming the shortcomings of previous designs and their inflated performance claims. Poulson's unwavering dedication to innovation and uncompromising standards has resulted in substantial performance gains for audio and AV systems affected by compromised mains power. As a result, ISOL-8 has garnered a loyal following among those who value exceptional sound quality. Today, the company offers diverse, reliable, practical solutions tailored to various audio and AV applications.

With ISOL-8's power cables, Powerline Axis, Powerline, Substation, Minisub 2, and Minisub Wave, you can elevate the performance of your audio and AV systems to new heights. Designed and manufactured in the UK, ISOL-8 ensures you receive the highest quality power conditioning products to optimise your listening and viewing experience.
