IsoTek Smart Alpha / Smart PDU ControlThe IsoTek Smart Alpha / Smart PDU is a pivotal piece of equipment for any serious audio or home cinema setup. This discreet 1U component delivers total system control, making it ideal for custom installations. Crucially, the unit provides exceptional protection for your valuable electronics. It instantly guards against power surges up to a formidable 40,000 Amps. Furthermore, the Alpha features eight fully independent C14 IEC output sockets. This specialised architecture is vital, preventing Differential Mode noise cross-contamination between connected components. Therefore, each device receives the purest power possible. SmartManaging power delivery for your entire rack becomes effortless. You can independently control each of the eight outlets using RS232, LAN, or secure WiFi access. Specifically, features include remote reboots and advanced sequential start-up with programmable delay times. You can even combine two or more units into named groups for larger systems. Moreover, the system allows you to monitor and manage overall power usage, granting you a complete overview of consumption. This level of granular control is simply revolutionary for professional AV integration. PurityThe sonic performance gains are extraordinary. Noise in your mains supply, both Differential Mode and Common Mode (RFI), severely degrades sound quality. However, the Alpha's sophisticated cleaning circuits dramatically reduce this impedance, correcting well into the audio frequency bands. The unique design employs a Multiple Filter System, meaning each of the eight outlets operates independently. Consequently, you eliminate the possibility of electrical noise cross-contamination between components. This is a major design flaw in many standard power conditioners. Ultimately, this provides a dedicated, clean power delivery system for every piece of your valuable hi-fi. EngineeringThis unit embodies sound electrical engineering. IsoTek maintains extraordinarily low resistance and high amperage through the use of high-grade, custom-made components. Specifically, the internal wiring uses 6N OFC silver-plated copper with a FEP dielectric. In addition, the entire network is fully star-earthed, maximising safety and performance. The principles are guided by Kirchhoff's laws (K.E.R.P.), ensuring absolute power delivery without current restriction or dynamic range reduction. Therefore, the Alpha delivers unrestricted current within safe regulatory limits. It guarantees the full dynamic potential of your high-wattage electronics.
