V5 Titan

IsoTek’s iconic Titan high current power cleaning system has been dramatically improved and boldly restyled. The V5 model is not only state of the art in its visual design, appearing hewn from a single block of aluminum but harness the latest technical innovations from a leading brand in the specialist field of power systems for audio and AV.

The V5 Titan is a dedicated high current power cleaning and distribution system delivering absolute power. The product measures 220mm in width, 350mm deep and 147mm high. It features 3 independent outlets each one with its own dedicated power cleaning network. Thus, Titan is three high current, low impedance power cleaning networks in a single half width chassis. Both Differential Mode and Common Mode noise are dramatically reduced. Cross contamination of connected components is also kept to a minimum due to the multiple power cleaning stages for each output socket. Most power filters join output sockets together, running each in series. This is an error as Differential Mode Noise created by your connected electronics will cross contaminate from one output socket to the next.

The electrical architecture and design of the V5 Titan is dramatically improved. PCB design and topology has been reworked and now offers over 50% improved amperage and decreased resistance. Unique critical (bespoke) components have better overall tolerances with improved inductance and current handling. The new circuit offers twice the inductance, with 80% increase in current leading to more open sound staging, micro dynamics and detail with more immediate timing. Dramatically improved Direct Current Resistance (DCR) has been applied throughout the design. Part of the IsoTek goal being to reduce DCR bringing performance closer to the zero Ohms ideal, V5 Titan is vastly improved compared to its predecessor.

These technological improvements result in the V5 Titan delivering absolute power, unrestricted current delivery within what the power company can supply, and regulations allow. Generally for power amplifiers or high wattage electronics IsoTek provides output which offers extremely low impedance and low DCR, this completely eliminates (within the concepts of power filtering) any possibility of current restriction and enhances dynamic range, the impedance of the chain back to the power station being far larger. When power is contaminated dynamic range is reduced. This is exact like the song of birds being drowned out by the pollution of traffic noise. It is not that the bird song wasn’t audible it was masked by unnecessary background interferences.

The IsoTek absolute power circuits offer greater perceived dynamics. The dynamic range in music being the relationship between the loudest and the quietest produced sound combined with a lowering of noise floor, power comparison or in other words dynamic range. To maintain high levels of amperage and extraordinary low levels of resistance across the PCB up to eight times the general standard of copper is used prior to pure silver plating.

Source component filters have a moderate amount of DCR to aid in the performance of increasing the electrical separation between connected loads. The circuit thus recognises the huge amounts of Differential Mode noise produced by connected equipment and acts to reduce and nullify Differential Mode cross contamination between the connected electronics.
