The Mains Multiplier is not a regular multiple socket but more a work of art made on a CNC 

machine that shapes this form out of one piece synthetic material. Yes… synthetic! The 

results speak for themselves, optical as well as electrical. 

The type of outputs is chosen because of the high contact pressure, which is obvious when 

putting in or pulling out an electric plug. More contact pressure and an optimal contact 

surface do create a low resistance value. This is very important for good power distribution. 

The wiring for phase, neutral and earth is connected by a star principle. Every output has its

own wiring towards the feed cable. Peaks in the current or interference signals that appear

on contacts of one socket will now have less effect on the other sockets.

A ‘Pulse Protector’ is integrated behind the IEC input connector. This prevents peaks and 

pulses reaching your audio equipment. Our Pulse Protector is also available as a separate 

tool, please check our website. 

Where to use

Wherever you need to connect multiple loads to the mains, the Mains Multiplier is the best 

choice. Of course you will have to use high performance power cords, else the Mains 

Multiplier will not perform at its best. It's a combination of factors, only if you use the Mains 

Multiplier in combination with high performance power cords -like our Current Conductor- 

you will achieve the maximum results for your audio system. 

Of course it is possible to use the Mains Multiplier as an ordinary multiple socket without high 

performance power supply cables. Our advice is to buy better power cords, the results will 

be rewarding. 

What to expect

An improvement in dynamics, a much better sound image and a lower hum level. The 

sound character of your audio system remains, fortunately! 

By using the Mains Multiplier with integrated Pulse Protector your equipment has less trouble 

with electrical failures induced by distortion on your network and it is better protected 

against damage through lightning impacts nearby. A guarantee that lightning impacts will 

not damage your equipment can not be given because the energy-content of lightning is 

too high.
