Overview
Nearly all Hifi systems comprise several different types of device, such as pre-amplifier, power amplifier, CD player or streamer, i.e. machines with analogue or digital mains power supplies. Even if these machines’ internal mains power supplies are shielded, it is inevitable that they will have some effect on the mains distribution panel. For this reason there are sockets for analogue devices and for devices with digital mains power supplies, and we again de-couple each individual source device socket separately to avoid any crosstalk.
Technology
Very high currents can flow in a distribution panel, potentially generating powerful magnetic fields. For this reason T+A Power Bars are made of pure, high-quality aluminium throughout. The main case is produced using a sophisticated extrusion tool, is extremely rugged and torsionally rigid, and provides a stable base for all the sub-assemblies and individual sockets. The end-caps and base plates are machined from solid, using stout aluminium plates up to 10 mm thick. Each Power Bar is mounted on four spikes for accurate positioning, ensuring that the unit is stable and completely de-coupled mechanically.
