INTRODUCTION
Your Audio/Video components are constantly
being bombarded by electromagnetic interfer-
ence (EMI) and radio frequency interference
(RFI) through their power cords. This contam-
inated power can affect A/V equipment and will
degrade the overall performance of your entire
system. Common symptoms of contaminated
power include pops, hisses, hums, visual arti-
facts, etc. Most power filtering devices will
remove some of this interference but don’t
provide a real solution to the problem.
The PD11VBC Sophisticated Filtration
System is a Real Solution!
Outlet Banks 1 & 2:
The primary filtration system features two
banks of independently filtered outlets (4 per
bank) for A/V equipment. These outlet banks
utilize “Balanced Double L” filter circuits
which are far superior to any other design in
filtering out all forms of electromagnetic and
radio frequency interference in both common
and normal modes. Cross-contamination
between your components is also eliminated
with this design. Bank 1 is Always-On,
providing continuous power for those compo-
nents that have programmable memory
settings. Bank 2 can be set to either
Always-On or switched with a shutdown delay.
High-Current Outlet Bank:
The unique power requirements of current
hungry components such as amplifiers and
powered subwoofers are also addressed.
These components can rapidly draw large
amounts of current to replenish their power
supply capacitors after thunderous bass notes.
Line conditioners that utilize coils (inductors)
in series with the AC power line can “choke”
off this large inrush current, thereby reducing
the amplifiers’ ability to operate at peak
performance levels, resulting in a flat, dead
sound. The PD11VBC high-current outlets
are fed by noise filtration circuitry that does
not utilize coils and provides full, unimpeded
power for your amplifiers and powered sub-
woofers.
Other Features Enhance the
Functionality:
Although the PD11VBC functionality revolves
around noise filtration and power protection,
many other exciting features enhance the overall
entertainment experience, including:
As you read through the rest of this manual,
you’ll discover many more unique features.
As audiophiles, we care about the quality of
