CLEAN POWER > THE POWER TO PERFORM
The first input into any audio or AV system is electricity. It flows through the system, utilised by each component in turn to create the signal that eventually moves the speakers’ drive units or delivers the pixels on-screen. What we see and hear is ultimately fashioned from, and by, mains electricity – it is the ‘raw material’ from which the ‘art’ is created.
任何音響或視訊系統的第一個輸入是電力。它流經系統，依次被每個組件利用，以創建最終驅動揚聲器單體或在電視影像螢幕上呈現像素的信號。我們所看見的影像和聽見的聲音最終是由交流電力形成和塑造的 -它是創作影音藝術的原材料。

Isotek 提供高性能的動力！
從發電廠傳送到我們家中的電力供應在傳播的過程中受到多種因素的影響，降低了音響系統和影像系統的性能。隨著我們使用的電子設備不斷增多，對電力的需求不斷加劇，我們供應系統的電力品質持續下降。
“差動模式噪訊”是特別劣化於家中電源的影響，普遍存在於現代設備中開關模式電源供應器，從電腦到廚房家電氣設備都有！
由於家庭中無線網絡的普及，行動電話、Wi-Fi和藍牙系統等等無線頻率讓“共模噪訊”不斷增加，使我們淹沒於各項干擾中。如果沒有IsoTek，最多只能獲得系統完全潛力的約80％。”
THE POWER TO PERFORM
The mains supply is distorted by numerous factors as it travels from power stations to be distributed throughout our homes, eroding the performance of high-quality audio and AV systems. As the electronic devices we use proliferate and the demand for electrical power intensifies, the quality of the electricity we feed our systems continues to slide.
The escalation of mains-borne ‘noise’ means that the need for IsoTek’s clean-power technology has never been greater. ‘Differential mode noise’ is especially exacerbated by the switch-mode power supplies that are common in many modern devices, from computers to kitchen appliances. ‘Common mode noise’ is ever-increasing thanks to wireless networking in the home, with mobile phones, wi-fi and Bluetooth bathing us in a sea of airborne interference.
The quality of electricity we feed our audio and AV systems has a profound effect on performance, and that’s where IsoTek’s unique clean-power solutions come in. Without IsoTek, you are only accessing around 80 per cent of your system’s full potential, at best.
電源中的直流電
此現象不斷蔓延，逐漸成為家庭供電系統中的普遍問題。此問題根源於眾多的家電產品連接在電力網路上，這些設備通常會在電路中帶著二極體，如調光器、吹風機、咖啡機；此外，屋頂上的太陽能板、電梯以及電動車快充站也會帶來進一步的干擾。嚴格來說，電源上的直流問題，是電源正弦波在零伏線上的不均衡狀態。技術上講，雖然不完全等同於傳統意義上的電源噪訊，但無疑已對電源質量造成負面影響。此問題在設備內（包括擴大機內的一切電子設備）產生相當的機械振動，從而大幅影響性能。
AC 線路中的此問題，源自於磁性電路設計的特殊性。甚至平凡的家用吹風機，也能在大型擴大機變壓器中引起顯著的噪訊。為此 IsoTek 開發了一系列名為「Syncro」的設備，運用了獨特的直流消除電子技術，重新平衡了零伏線上的正弦波，從而大幅減少甚至消除了變壓器的嗡嗡聲；此電路將與電源同步，提供了完美對稱的正弦波，與任何音響、AV、網路電子設備一同使用時，也能夠帶來顯著的改善效果。
DC ON THE MAINS POWER SUPPLY
So called ‘DC on the mains’ is an increasing problem and becoming more and more common on the mains power line. It is caused by many electronic products around your home, that are connected to the power grid. These items generally run a diode electrically in series, for example, dimmer switches, hair dryers and coffee machines. But it doesn’t end there, solar panels on the roof, elevators, and fast charging stations for electric cars cause even more issues. These could be in your house or your neighborhood, or even further down the road. Strictly speaking the problem with DC on the mains as it is referred to, is the imbalance of the mains sine wave on the zero volts line, technically speaking it is not really a mains noise, but nevertheless bad power. It can cause considerable mechanical vibration within products (not only in amplifiers but all electronics) which will dramatically affect performance.
It is the strangest of problems on the AC line, which is a quirk of magnetic circuit design. A simple hairdryer can also cause massive noise in big amplifier transformers. IsoTek has developed a series of devices called “Syncro” that incorporate unique DC-cancelling electronics that rebalance the mains sine wave on the zero volts line, to dramatically reduce/silence transformer hum; the circuit synchronizes the mains supply to provide a perfectly symmetrical sine wave, which also delivers significant improvement when used with any audio-, AV- or network electronics.
DIFFERENTIAL MODE
差模式
Differential Mode mains noise is created by all electrical appliances – everything with a power supply, in fact. This includes your microwave oven, your television and your computer, as well as every hi-fi component you own.
差模噪訊-市用電源噪訊是由所有插電的電器裝置產生的 – 實際上，就是所有有電源的東西，例如您的微波爐、電視、電腦，以及您擁有的音響器材。
COMMON MODE
共模式
Common Mode mains noise is often referred to as RFI – transmitted frequencies that surround us but we cannot see. For example, imagine how much data is transmitted by smartphones and tablets; cheap power cables act as aerials for these unwanted frequencies.
共模噪訊通常被稱為射頻干擾（RFI） – 這是我們周圍有但看不見的傳輸頻率。例如，行動電話、基地台、Wi-Fi 和藍牙系統等等無線頻率讓 “共模噪訊” 不斷增加，想像一下智能手機和平板電腦傳輸的數據量有多大；而廉價的電源線就像天線一樣，接收這些不需要的頻率。
