T+A POWERBAR 2+5

The effect of equipment racks and shelves, speaker cables, signal leads, mains leads and - especially - mains distribution panels is very considerable, and is often drastically underestimated. T+A has already developed a range of superior mains leads and distribution panels, and is now proud to introduce the latest generation of  High-End distribution panels of the highest possible quality. There are two types: each features two sockets for pre-amplifiers and power amplifiers, and three or five sockets for source devices. Very high currents can flow in a distribution panel, potentially generating powerful magnetic fields. For this reason T+A Power Bars are made of pure, high-quality aluminium throughout. The main case is produced using a sophisticated extrusion tool, is extremely rugged and torsionally rigid, and provides a stable base for all the sub-assemblies and individual sockets. The end-caps and base plates are machined from solid, using stout aluminium plates up to 10 mm thick. Each Power Bar is mounted on four spikes for accurate positioning, ensuring that the unit is stable and completely de-coupled mechanically.

Sophisticated High-End systems may consist of a vast range of different components, and invariably consume very high currents. This places considerable demands on the domestic mains supply as well as on the method of distributing mains power to the individual machines in the system. Domestic mains power almost always carries severe interference caused by the large number of devices in the household, but high-frequency interference induced in the mains leads from external sources is equally harmful. The third important factor is mutual effects between the individual system components. It is important to shield the Hi-Fi system from all these influences. T+A Power Bars are designed and equipped to suppress and effectively eliminate the various forms of interference.
