Distribuitor de Alimentare Reductor DC Tomanek TAP8S+

Descriere

TOMANEK AUDIO POWER model TAP8S+ 8-socket power strip designed for powering audiophile equipment.

The TAP8S+ power strip is equipped with 8 Schuko sockets and an IEC input socket (7 sockets with Schaffner filters and 1 socket with a DC blocker).

Interference protection for devices powered via the TAP8S+ is provided by seven independent Schaffner filters (one for each power socket). Thanks to the fact that each power socket has its own filter, devices connected to the strip are not only separated from the power source but also from each other (they do not interfere with each other when connected to the same strip). The same applies to the socket equipped with a DC blocker filter, which is a single DC blocker designed for only one socket.

This combination provides very high interference suppression and allows for high current loads on the power strip (5 A per socket, but no more than 16 A in total for all sockets). The power strip can therefore be used to power devices with high power consumption, such as power amplifiers, as well as all other components of the audio system.

One socket in the strip is equipped with a DC blocker, which is dedicated to amplifiers equipped with traditional transformers.

A DC blocker is a device/filter whose task is to eliminate unwanted DC components from the 230 V power supply. The DC component is a ubiquitous phenomenon caused mainly by impulse devices (e.g. switching power supplies) and all kinds of converters. In domestic conditions, the source of this phenomenon can be, for example, automatic washing machines, internal power supplies of televisions, TV tuners, routers, switches, phone chargers, computer and laptop power supplies, etc.

The DC component has a negative effect on transformers in audio devices – it causes their cores to become magnetised, which results in a significant increase in their operating volume (known as humming), greater heating of the transformer and distortion of the sinusoidal voltage waveform. All these negative effects of the presence of a constant component in the 230 V network translate into a deterioration of the parameters of power amplifiers and other audio devices. A secondary effect is also a significant increase in the power consumption of audio devices, which is largely lost in the form of excessive heating of the transformer and an increase in the operating noise of their mains transformers. The DC blocker eliminates all the negative effects of the presence of a DC component. Simply plug it between the 230 V socket and the device plug.

The socket equipped with a DC Blocker has a load capacity of up to 1500 W (~6.52A).

The strip is framed by a solid, powder-coated metal housing with compact dimensions of 70 x 90 x 460 mm. This design ensures that the strip is highly resistant to mechanical stress and electromagnetic interference. Schaffner filters are located on a common board inside the housing.

The strip is supplied without a power cord. We encourage you to take advantage of our professional Tomanek TPC series cables.

The strips are designed to be adapted to individual user requirements, so modifications such as the following are possible:

• Installation of sockets without filters or in mixed mode, some with filters and some without
• Installation of sockets of other standards, e.g. UK, USA or others
• Installation of a switch
• Installation of a power LED
