Detailed Description

Removes Mains Noise

The V5 Gemini effectively mitigates Differential Mode and Common Mode mains noise. Differential Mode noise, generated by all electrical appliances, is filtered to prevent interference with your audio equipment. Common Mode noise, often referred to as RFI, is also reduced significantly.

Sine Wave Correction

IsoTek’s power cleaning circuits ensure a consistent 50 or 60Hz sine wave with low impedance. This correction helps maintain near-constant voltage, crucial for high-quality audio performance. The circuits reduce impedance safely and effectively, enhancing audio quality by lowering radio frequency noise.

Independent Sockets

Each outlet socket on the V5 Gemini is isolated to prevent cross-contamination of Differential Mode mains noise. This design ensures that no two sockets are directly connected, maintaining clean power delivery to each connected device.

High Grade Components

IsoTek utilizes the highest quality components in the V5 Gemini. Custom-made parts and high-grade metals ensure optimal performance. The PCB designs feature up to eight times the standard amount of copper, silver-plated for maximum conductivity and minimal resistance.

Surge Protection

The V5 Gemini includes advanced surge protection, utilizing VDRs to handle spikes up to 45,000A. The protection circuit is designed to respond quickly and sequentially, preserving both the device and the connected equipment from potential damage.

K.E.R.P.

Kirchhoff’s Equal Resistance Path (K.E.R.P.) ensures that each outlet receives equal power delivery. This principle, based on Kirchhoff’s circuit laws, helps maintain the integrity of the power supply and improves the overall performance of connected audio equipment.

Multi 6N OFC Ag

The internal wiring consists of pure 6n OFC (99.9999% purity) conductor strands with silver plating, providing low resistance and high amperage. An FEP dielectric protects the conductors, ensuring reliable and efficient power delivery.

Continuous Absolute Power

IsoTek ensures that the V5 Gemini delivers absolute power without restricting current flow. This design eliminates dynamic range limitations, providing consistent performance for high-wattage devices and enhancing overall audio quality.

System Link

The V5 Gemini features a System Link outlet, allowing multiple IsoTek units to be connected while maintaining a star earthed reference. This feature is particularly useful for expanding power distribution without sacrificing power quality.
