PRODUCT FEATURES

The Chimera Signature is a very special and unique version of the well-known Chimera. In order 
to push the Chimera performance a bit further, our engineers had done research, small tweaks, 
and used even better parts (some of them present in Stheno). The Chimera Signature is the right 
choice for demanding audiophiles that don’t need to go for Stheno performance and price, but 
want to upgrade Chimera features a bit more. All the Chimera Signature units are built by hand 
and deliver a stunning performance for High-End audio and video systems.

PMAF II Filter

This state of art proprietary filter technology takes noise reduction to another level without any 
undesired effect in the currents. The filter has a multistage design with only passive components 
which reduces inductance and resistance, and it can be used even with large amplifiers without 

any constraints.

IAGDB Surge protection (optional)

This product uses our surge protection proprietary technology. It protects your system against 
surges without any performance degradation. This technology is implemented in an independent 
path and uses only passive components without TMOV.

SIPD Architecture

Our proprietary power distribution architecture ensures not only a completely independent 
power distribution (avoiding cross contamination between plugged components), but also a 
symmetrical distribution (the same available current to all plugged components).

Dedicated ground filter

One of the most common issues is the ground loops, generated between plugged components 

in  your  home  which  creates  the  well  known  floor  noise.  In  order  to  solve  this  problem,  we 
included a dedicated two stage ground filter.

Power factor correction

Every power grid has power factor degradation. This power factor degradation can get even 
worst when you use electric components such as lights and refrigerators. The Hi-Fi system only 
perform at its best with a 100% power factor, so we have included a power factor correction 
feature to feed your system with a perfect power factor.
