V5 Syncro Uni 16

Syncro Uni incorporates unique DC-cancelling electronics that rebalance the mains sine wave on the zero volts line to dramatically reduce/silence transformer hum and vibration. This sophisticated product can be used independently for a single component, or in combination with another IsoTek power cleaner as an upgrade and to deliver a fully rebalanced sine wave across all output sockets.

IsoTek’s newest version of its innovative and original DC cancelling system, released almost 15 years ago upgrades the design with a 260% extra current capability and corresponding reductions in impedance. The internal peak current now stands at 32 Amperes!

Features
  • Suitable for all audio-, AV-, and network-systems.

Sine Wave Correction


From a high quality audio point of view, mains electricity needs two factors; a nice 50 or 60Hz sine wave supplied from a very low impedance source, without radio frequency noise. The low impedance makes for a near constant voltage regardless of how much power is used in the surrounding area. In reality we can typically expect around 5% fluctuation. The very low impedance of the mains, which is way below 1 ohm at 50 or 60Hz is not maintained when approaching radio frequencies (> 50 ohms > 100 kHz) and acts as an aerial (antenna) inviting RF noise.

IsoTek’s power cleaning circuits are designed to reduce impedance whilst remaining safe as well as correcting well into the audio frequency bands. This is not only a judgment from sound electrical engineering, but it also follows the codes of electrical safety, which are independently assessed.

High Grade Components


Every IsoTek product uses the finest grade electrical components, many custom made, using the highest quality metals and materials which are specifically designed for purpose. Quality doesn’t stop at parts but also extends into the PCB designs, which maintain high levels of amperage and extraordinarily low levels of resistance, using up to eight times the general standard of copper prior to pure silver plating.

Internal wiring also uses high purity coppers combined with silver plating, with either Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene (FEP) dielectric or IsoTek’s Virtual Dielectric of Air (VDA), where a FEP tube is wound around the conductor before an extruded FEP dielectric protects this construction giving unrivalled performance and the ultimate low resistance, high performance internal power delivery system.

Multi 6N OFC Ag


As one would expect, the internal wiring of any IsoTek product is of the highest standard, pure 6n OFC (Oxygen Free Copper – 99.9999%) conductor strands with silver-plating offer low resistance and high amperage. An FEP dielectric is used to protect the conductors as well as giving the ultimate internal power delivery system.

IsoTek’s internal wiring synergizes with the range of IsoTek power cables. One critical but overlooked area is maintaining commonality of design and material properties though an audio wiring loom, be it signal carrying cables or your power cable network.

3 Year Warranty


As part of our on-going commitment to the highest standards of customer service, IsoTek offers you the opportunity to extend the standard 2 years product warranty to 3 years, free of charge.

Design

IsoTek’s newest version of its innovative and original DC cancelling system, released almost 15 years ago upgrades the design with 260% extra current capability and corresponding reductions in impedance. The internal peak current now stands at 32 Amperes!

The new V5 circuit board has been fully optimised with increased copper loading, double that of the industry standard. To further improve performance IsoTek uses a minimum of 36 capacitors, all high-grade copper/silver construction, these combined deliver an exceptional 169’000μF, most competitor products offer only one eighth or tenth of this performance with low grade and poorer specified components. All electrical parts specified within this new V5 version have also been upgraded and over specified to deliver a surge protection buffer of over 500 Ampere peak.

The V5 Syncro Uni is designed to dramatically reduce/silence transformer vibration and hum from the transformers within electronic equipment, generally mechanically vibration. V5 Syncro Uni can also be used as a ‘pre-filter’ device that can be used with any power cable or power distribution system.

The IsoTek V5 Syncro Uni significantly reduces unwanted direct current (DC) from the mains supply that should not be present on the mains voltage. With easy connection in and out of the product with standard or better mains power cables.

So called ‘DC on the mains’ is an increasingly common issue affecting the quality of your home’s power supply. Caused by a variety of everyday electronic devices around your home, that are connected to the power grid. These items generally run a diode electrically in series, for example, dimmer switches, hair dryers and coffee machines. But it doesn’t end there, solar panels on the roof, elevators, and fast charging stations for electric cars cause even more DC issues. These could be in your house or your neighborhood, or even further down the road. Strictly speaking the problem with DC on the mains as it is referred to, is the imbalance of the mains sine wave on the zero volts line, technically speaking it is not really a mains noise, but nevertheless bad power. It can cause considerable mechanical vibration within products (not only in amplifiers but all electronics) which will dramatically affect performance.

It is the strangest of problems on the AC line, which is a quirk of magnetic circuit design. A simple hairdryer can cause massive noise in big amplifier transformers. IsoTek has developed a series of devices called “Syncro” that incorporate unique DC-cancelling electronics that rebalance the mains sine wave on the zero volts line, to dramatically reduce/silence transformer hum; the circuit synchronizes the mains supply to provide a perfectly symmetrical sine wave, which also delivers significant improvement when used with any audio-, AV- or network electronics.

This DC current affects the performance and linearity of the power supply of multimedia and Hi-Fi devices. For example, it causes the iron core of transformers to become saturated resulting in mechanical vibration and addition unnecessary heat causing transformers to physically hum. By reducing micro vibrations and heat generation, V5 Syncro Uni reduces servicing issues increases component life. In addition, sound is significantly improved and more immediate, you hear the music and not the irregularities of mains imbalance and distortion. IsoTek’s V5 Syncro DC filter will NOT dampen dynamics! Dynamics are greatly improved because the power amplifier can draw more current when transformer saturation is reduced.

The V5 Syncro Uni 16 circuit board will run easily at 32A allowing a maximum transmission of up to 7’360W, however, to give absolute reliability and consistent performance the unit has been conservatively restricted to a standard 16A input for convenience.

Housed in a steel and aluminum chassis measuring 250mm in length, 150mm wide and 85mm high. V5 Syncro Uni incorporates unique DC-cancelling electronics that rebalance the mains sine wave on the zero volts line, to dramatically reduce/silence transformer hum; the circuit synchronizes the mains supply to provide a perfectly symmetrical sine wave, which also delivers significant sonic improvement when used with any hi-fi separates. The internal wiring is of the highest standard, pure 6n oxygen free copper conductor strands with silver-plating offer low resistance and high amperage. A FEP (fluorinated ethylene propylene) dielectric is used. FEP is a tough, flexible copolymer of tetrafluoroethylene and hexafluoropropylene commonly used in aerospace with excellent dielectric performance. FEP is used to protect the conductors to allow the ultimate internal power delivering system.

The internal wiring of IsoTek products synergizes with the range of IsoTek power cables. One critical but overlooked area is maintaining commonality of design and material properties though an audio wiring loom, be it signal carrying cables or your power cable network.
