Ansuz PowerSwitch A3/Ethernet Distribution

PowerSwitch A3 Ethernet Distribution       Spacious presentation of a pristine sound The Ansuz PowerSwitch A3 is upgraded with the latest Ansuz Technologies, the Zirconium Tesla coil which allows even better resonance control and the Dither technology in its 3rd generation, which is a further optimization to open the soundscape even more. In addition to the other effective Ansuz technologies the music signal significantly amplifies the music signal and add more energy to the music, which is presented on an expanded and holistic soundstage.       Technologies and Components The Ansuz PowerSwitch has been designed with the aim of delivering a very clean streaming signal to the hi-fi system. To achieve this, Ansuz employs its most advanced and truly groundbreaking audio technologies of noise reduction and resonance control. Ansuz audio technologies ensure that virtually no noise is transmitted from the PowerSwitch to the audio components.   Natural-based composite cabinet material The cabinet design is an important Ansuz characteristic and is designed to eliminate sonic distortion. The disturbing sonic influence, which emanates from the material the cabinet is made of – mostly aluminium – comes from its mechanical resonance. To eliminate this sonic distortion, the challenge is to minimize the use of aluminium in the cabinet. Ansuz’s sister company Aavik began testing various materials and designed an innovative natural-based composite material, which reduces the mechanical influence, particularly the hysteresis. The sonic result is distinctly audible and reflects a further prominent cornerstone in Ansuz’s quest for the ultimate music experience.     The Tesla coil principle The key operating principle of the Ansuz Tesla coil is to have two coils wound in opposite directions – one coil and one counter coil. In Ansuz words, this is called “A double inverted coil”. The two coils both carry voltage, and when one of the Tesla coils encounters a voltage spike, a counter spike is activated to eliminate the noise. Since noise spikes are pure voltage carrying virtually no charge, the cancelation is quite good, but not perfect. Adding more Tesla coils in parallel, increases the noise cancellation and the perceived blackness in the music increases significantly along with the purity and clarity of the sound. Ansuz uses various types of Tesla coils, as their individual properties ideally complement and reinforce each other.     Active zirconium Tesla coil Based on Ansuz general curiosity on the properties of different materials, Ansuz has implemented a zirconium bar in their anti aerial resonance coil design. This is another impressive upgrade to the Ansuz anti aerial resonance coil technology. The properties of this zirconium bar allow for unprecedented resonance control resulting in outstanding musical refinement that creates a natural soundstage, unrivalled in its purity, precision and attention to musical detail.       Active square Tesla coil Embedded efficiency. The active square Tesla coils are embedded in our printed circuit boards – a coil on the top and the counter coil on the back. The principle is exactly the same as the active Tesla coil and thus has a greater ability to eliminate noise than the passive Tesla coils.         Analog dither technology 3rd generation Analog dither technology originates in radar, where it ensured a stronger signal and thus greater range. The active Tesla coils send pulsating signals at precisely defined frequencies. These signals are sent in anti-phase. This significantly amplifies the musical signal and eliminates the background noise floor. Analysis, studies, and many hours of listening, have resulted in new options – and a lot of listening has resulted in this 3rd generation design which is a further optimization of the most effective frequencies which opens the soundscape even more and with the tiniest details when it comes to reproduction of the recordings.       Built in Ansuz PowerBox Ansuz PowerSwitch features the Line/Digital section from the Ansuz Powerbox. This section transfers and adds even more noise cancelled signal from the Ansuz PowerBox to the more advanced series of Ansuz cables.            Active cable Tesla coil Active anti aerial protection. The active cable Tesla coil is wound directly on the outer part of the cable and protects the signal from absorbing the airborne RF noise. This noise is absorbed in the Tesla coil. The active version is about three to four times more efficient than the Passive cable Tesla coil.         SPECIFICATIONS Dimensions 272x397x97 mm 10,70×15,62×3,81 Inches Weight 4 kg 8,8 lb Input IEC C14 230/110 V LAN Output LAN Digital
