• Differential and Common Mode noise reduction
• Use with standard IEC C13 power cable
• Compact 1U rack height design

Detailed Description

Removes Mains Noise

The Alpha Lite effectively eliminates both Differential Mode and Common Mode mains noise. Differential Mode noise, generated by electrical appliances, and Common Mode noise, often referred to as RFI, are filtered out to ensure clean power delivery to your audio equipment.

Sine Wave Correction

IsoTek's power cleaning circuits are designed to maintain a low impedance source for the mains electricity, reducing radio frequency noise and ensuring a consistent voltage supply. This correction extends well into the audio frequency bands, following electrical safety codes.

Multiple Filter System

The Alpha Lite features multiple power cleaning circuits within a single chassis. Each audio component connected to the PDU receives its own dedicated clean power supply, minimizing electrical noise cross-contamination.

Independent Sockets

Each of the eight C14 IEC output sockets is independently connected back to the PCB, ensuring no cross-contamination of Differential Mode mains noise between sockets. This design maintains the purity of the power supply to each connected device.

High Grade Components

IsoTek uses high-quality electrical components, including custom-made parts and high-purity materials. The internal wiring features pure 6n OFC (99.9999% Oxygen Free Copper) strands with silver plating, and the PCB designs use high levels of amperage and low resistance.

Surge Protection

The PDU offers comprehensive protection against power surges and spikes with an array of VDRs (Voltage Dependent Resistors), capable of handling up to 40,000A. This cascading protection system ensures rapid response to severe conditions, preserving the integrity of connected equipment.

K.E.R.P. (Kirchhoff's Equal Resistance Path)

IsoTek's designs are guided by Kirchhoff’s circuit laws, ensuring that the power distribution network maintains a consistent flow of current and voltage. This principle minimizes electrical interference and enhances the overall performance of the power delivery.

Multi 6N OFC Ag Wiring

The internal wiring of the Alpha Lite uses pure 6n OFC conductors with silver plating, offering low resistance and high amperage. The FEP dielectric further enhances the internal power delivery system, maintaining a consistent and clean power supply.

Continuous Absolute Power

IsoTek's design philosophy ensures absolute power delivery without current restriction, enhancing the dynamic range of connected high-wattage electronics. The Alpha Lite maintains very low impedance at 50/60Hz while providing high noise cancellation above that frequency.
