MultiWave II
MultiWave II is a technology available exclusively
on the newest PS Audio Power Plant series of AC
Regenerators. The P1000 includes MultiWave
II and also features AutoWave and TubeWave.
There are 4 MultiWave II waveforms as well as
TubeWave, AutoWave and SineWave mode.
MultiWave II is only available at the Regenerated
AC outlets.
Any turntable or equipment with AC synchro-
nous motors, such as some cooling fans
should not be used with MultiWave II. This
equipment must be used with 60Hz sine mode,
or connected to the Filtered AC zone outlets.
We recommend the use of the SineWave
[SINE], or TubeWave [TWAVE] with any type of
tube based audio products.
[SINE] SineWave
In the SineWave mode the Power Plant will gener-
ate a perfect SineWave (50-120Hz).
[TWAVE] TubeWave
TubeWave is specifically designed to optimize the
performance of tube based audio products.
TubeWave uses the same pseudorandom gen-
eration of frequencies as MultiWave2 waveform,
however it generates more tube-friendly frequen-
cies.
[MWAV1] MultiWave1
MultiWave1 is a single 60Hz SineWave with
a minute amount of 3rd Harmonic SineWaves
mixed together to form a single partial square
MultiWave. This is an improved version of PS2
from the original MultiWave™ series.
The partial square wave setting improves the
power supply’s ability to charge the capacitors
in equipment by extending the length of time
available to “top off” the capacitors’ voltage. Use
this setting to enhance the performance of both
source and power equipment.
[MWAV2] MultiWave2
MultiWave2 is a 60Hz SineWave that incorporates
a pseudorandom collection of frequencies which
are dithered from 55-65Hz.
Using this slightly random frequency deviation is
similar to adding dither on a digital audio source.
Power supply dithering can lower the perceived
noise floor and help remove apparent glare on the
audio signal.
[MWAV3] MultiWave3
MultiWave3 is a combination of Multiwave1
with a slight degree of 3rd harmonic addition
(MultiWave1).
Try this setting and see how the audio sounds and
the video looks. All systems can respond differ-
ently to each MultiWave pattern.
[MWAV4] MultiWave4
MultiWave4 is full combination of MultiWave1 and
MultiWave2. It generates a pseudorandom collec-
tion of frequencies, however instead of generating
SineWaves it generates the same waveform as
MultiWave1.
Again, try these setting on your system to see
which one has the highest perceived benefit in
terms of performance.
