IsoTek

The IsoTek V5 Syncro Uni 10 (10 Ampere) is a cutting-edge power conditioning device, designed to eliminate DC on the mains supply and significantly reduce transformer hum in audio equipment. As part of IsoTek’s innovative "Syncro" series, this unit incorporates advanced DC-cancelling electronics to rebalance the mains sine wave, improving the performance of any connected audio, AV, or network equipment.

Key Features

• Eliminates DC on the mains supply, significantly reducing transformer hum and vibration.
• Rebalances the sine wave on the zero volts line for optimized power delivery.
• Functions as a pre-filter device for use with any power cable or distribution system.
• Handles up to 16A peak current while maintaining a 10A input for consistent reliability.
• Fully star-earthed network for optimal safety and performance.
• High-grade multi-strand 6n OFC silver-plated internal wiring with FEP dielectric.
• Designed with superior surge protection, supporting a buffer of up to 500A peak.
• No loss in dynamics or bass reproduction, lowering of distortions with improved openness and transient response.

Detailed Description

Advanced Design

The V5 Syncro Uni 10 represents IsoTek’s latest innovation in DC-cancelling technology, first introduced nearly 15 years ago. This upgraded design features a 60% increase in current capacity and a corresponding reduction in impedance, enabling an internal peak current of 16 Amperes. The unit integrates a newly optimized V5 circuit board with double the industry-standard copper loading for enhanced conductivity.

High-grade components, including 16 capacitors of copper/silver construction, provide a massive capacitance of 75,000µF — four times that of most competitor products. This ensures consistent performance, superior DC filtering, and exceptional durability.

Rebalancing the Mains

The V5 Syncro Uni 10 addresses the increasingly common issue of “DC on the mains,” caused by household and neighborhood devices such as dimmer switches, hair dryers, coffee machines, solar panels, and EV chargers. These devices create an imbalance in the sine wave on the zero volts line, resulting in mechanical vibrations and transformer hum in connected audio and AV equipment.

IsoTek’s unique DC-cancelling electronics rebalance the mains supply, restoring a perfectly symmetrical sine wave and dramatically reducing transformer saturation, mechanical vibration, and heat generation. This improves sound quality by eliminating mains distortion and enhancing dynamics without dampening performance.

Build Quality and Compatibility

Housed in a robust steel and aluminum chassis, the V5 Syncro Uni 10 is compact yet powerful. The internal wiring is crafted from pure 6n OFC copper strands with silver plating, protected by a high-performance FEP dielectric. This ensures low resistance, high amperage, and excellent dielectric properties.

The unit is compatible with all IsoTek power cables, creating a cohesive power delivery system with consistent material properties and design philosophy across your audio setup.

Practical and Versatile

The V5 Syncro Uni 10 is designed for easy integration into any system, connecting seamlessly to mains power using standard or premium cables. It functions as both a standalone DC-cancelling device and a pre-filter, enhancing the performance of existing power distribution systems.
