The HF filtered outputs are meant for digital and analog sources like cd-players, tuners, 

DAC’s and turntables. Power amplifiers should be connected to the direct outputs.

Your Mains Multiplier must be connected to an earthed mains supply wall socket, however 

if you do not have earth the Mains Multiplier will still function. The Mains Multiplier itself will 

make a connection between all earth contacts of your equipment. This will prevent that 

small currents will run through your interlinks due to differences between earth potentials at 

your equipment’s chassis. So even without an earthed wall socket you should keep using 

your earthed power cords. 

Tips

For maximum noise reduction, it is best to keep power cords and audio cables separated 

by some distance from each other, also avoid routing cables in parallel.

Use high-quality power cords (our Current Conductors for example) to connect your 

equipment. The screenings will prevent stray-fields reaching your audio cables. Order your 

power cords as short as possible, for best results.

Do not connect distribution blocks or mains splitters to the outputs, it will possibly cause 

interference.

Feed ALL your equipment from the Mains Multiplier. Having an extra external power feed 

to one device will possibly cause interference and/or hum.
