F. Considerations
We strongly recommend that a good quality mains cable is used and
this cable is consistent throughout your system. Look for a cable with
good conductors, for example OFC (oxygen free copper). This cable
should also have a high degree of shielding from RFI. Outside of the
UK it is not uncommon for cables of 6Amps current capability to be
connected to a 20Amp outlet. In practice this seems to be a safe
arrangement. However we strongly recommend a cable of the full
20Amps carrying capability be used, with a minimum 1.5mm squared.
IsoTek produce their own cable in standard 1.5M lengths. All cables
feature high quality connectors, OFC conductors and fully earth
shielded. This removes any chance of RFI entering the cable. A
number of versions are available: Premire, Premium and Elite as well as
higher current Optimum and Extreme. IsoTek 24ct high grade
connectors are used in the Elite, Optimum designs these can also be
purchased individually.
Our GII & EVO3 range of products work well with all third party
equipment including varying cable technologies. If ‘off-the-shelf’ mains
cables are used we recommend the use of Ferrite rings to reduce RFI.
We also recommend the use of contact conditioners, for example Blue
Horizon’s Clean-IT (www.bluehorizonideas.com). Isolation devices, feet
and cones may also be used. We recommend Clearlight Audio RDC
products which we use on our higher end products, for example, Titan.
It is possible to increase the performance of the Solus through ideal
location and product placement, the use of isolation devices and
contact conditioners for example. The Solus can also be used to run
front-end only equipment with one of our dedicated power amplifier
products. For example, the introduction of a Titan for that specific
purpose. Full details can be found from your local authorised IsoTek
dealer or on our web site www.isoteksystems.com
