About The IsoTek V5 Sirius Power Board
IsoTek, the world leader in power optimisation devices for audio and AV systems, introduces the newest edition of its power bar cleaners for the V5 series – the V5 Sirius. Housed in an extruded aluminium chassis, Sirius is a sturdy, durable power bar that can easily be wall mounted behind audio systems or placed discreetly behind audio racks. A special wall bracket system is supplied, along with IsoTek's multi award-winning EVO3 Premier power cable.
V5 Sirius is an ultra-high performance power bar, harnessing IsoTek's latest mains power cleaning technology, which both protects and improves your system's performance. Its compact and elegant design measures 555mm in length, 88mm wide and is just 55mm high. It features 6 independent outlets, each one referencing back to the central PCB to dramatically reduce Differential Mode cross-contamination of connected components. Most power filters of this style join output sockets together, running each in series. A filter's effectiveness suffers under this design 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 Sirius avoids this, rendering a wider, more clearly-defined stereo image.
The V5 Sirius features a unique high grade and high amperage choke system combined with high frequency delta filters to ensure class-leading power cleaning of both Common Mode and Differential Mode mains noise across a wide frequency range. This is combined with IsoTek's unique Inductive Resonance Gate which further optimises the isolation between each of the six output sockets. Clean power is then delivered to all six output sockets – each one independently isolated to prevent cross-contamination of mains noise. KERP (Kirchoff's Equal Resistance Path) ensures equal resistance and equal power delivery to all outlets.
The internal wiring is unique to Sirius, composed of pure 6n oxygen-free copper conductor strands with silver plating, offering low resistance and high amperage. An FEP dielectric is then used to protect the conductors, this also offers the ultimate low resistance power delivery system. Furthermore, a 54,000A instantaneous yet transient protection system enhances sound quality as well as protecting precious audio components from dangerous power surges and voltage spikes. This unique safeguarding system features IsoTek's sequential cascading VDR protection method which offers superior safety without dynamic audio or sound restrictions. The internal wiring of IsoTek products synergises with the range of IsoTek power cables.
Our Take
The V5 Sirius features six independent outlets, each one referencing back to the central PCB to dramatically reduce Differential Mode cross-contamination of connected components, ensuring pitch black silences and sweeping dynamics. Coupled with a System Link outlet which allows multiple IsoTek devices to be connected by referencing back to a single wall socket, the V5 Sirius comes packaged with an EVO3 Premier Cable and is a superb investment for anyone looking to upgrade their entire sound system without the need to replace any of the components they love.
