DC (Direct Current) signals within the mains current may be small but can noticeably affect sound quality. As the DC current enters a toroidal power transfer it becomes saturated, reducing the transformer’s efficiency and causing audible vibration. Connecting the DC Block reduces the mechanical hum and restores the mechanical efficiency – letting you concentrate on the music and not the background noise.
Mains conditioner and RF filter
As well as DC removal, the DC Block also provides additional mains conditioning and RF filtering. These help reduce background noise further still, as noise from other components on the mains system (such as a fridge or dimmer switch switching on and off) is effectively filtered out.
Improves the entire system x 6
With a quieter mains signal being feed to up to six outlets, your entire hi-fi or AV system benefits from the DC Block 6. The greatest improvements will probably be noticed from your integrated or pre/power amps, but the benefit should also improve a turntable, CD player, network streamer and any auxiliary power supplies, too.
Easy to connect
Supplied with six IEC cables, it’s easy to replace your product’s existing mains cable and plug straight in*. There’s also a mains cable with 3-pin plug supplied, so it’s ready to connect.
*Products with static or ‘figure-of-eight’ mains cables will require an IEC14 plug fitting.
Styled to match your system
With its clean, crisp lines, the DC Block 6 looks every bit as sleek as you’d expect from the Audiolab brand. Available in black or silver, the DC Block 6 perfectly matches Audiolab’s other products and also blends well with components from other brands.
