You've probably
invested a lot of time and money putting together your stereo system. So obtaining the best performance, electrical
protection, and reliability from all this valuable gear is more than an option,
it's a necessity. But, regardless of how sophisticated the design of your
electronic equipment is, it may not be performing to full potential if it's
plugged directly into an ordinary AC outlet.
Standard AC outlets often supply raw and unprocessed power that not only
can diminish the clarity of audio signals, but it can also cause damage to the
sensitive Integrated Circuits (ICs) inside your valuable equipment. ADCOM's
ACE-515 AC Enhancer continuously avoids many of the problems caused by
unreliable AC power supplies by filtering and conditioning the AC power, and
eliminating "spikes" injected into the line by refrigerators, air
conditioners, heating systems, atmospheric disturbances, etc. A little-publicized fact is that many
industrial centers, because of the machinery they use, inject a large number of
"spikes" and other interference into the power lines. Similarly,
radio transmitters can "pollute" power lines with interference. These disturbances can be
carried by power lines over very long distances and can affect AC outlets miles
away. ADCOM's ACE-515 will provide, even if these disruptive signals are
present at your AC outlet, both superior performance and additional protection
for all the sensitive electronic equipment connected to it (up to 1800 watts
total).
Performance
The ACE-515 can not
only protect but actually improve the performance capabilities of your audio or
video systems. As it filters the line voltage from your AC receptacle,
eliminating noise and interference, such as radio frequency interference (RFI)
and electromagnetic interference (EMI), it will reduce the residual noise in
the system, enhancing both audio and video clarity. Simply stated, the ACE-515
provides your electronics with the purest input power so it can deliver its
purest performance.
Protection
ADCOM has also
designed the ACE-515 to protect your electronic equipment from potentially
damaging high-voltage spikes and surges. The spike and surge protection built
into its circuits is fast acting (less than 10 billionths of a second), and
thorough (works on both sides of the AC line, and to Ground as well). For use
with your audio system, the AC Enhancer is supplied with a special sequential
turn-on/turn-off circuit designed to protect your speakers from
turn-on/turn-off "thumps" which originate in one or more accessories
and could otherwise be amplified to disturbing levels. The sequence was
designed so that when you initiate the turn-on cycle, the CE-515 will energize
the accessories immediately and delay power to your amplifier for 10 seconds -
until the circuits in your accessories have stabilized. Only then will the
amplifiers be turned on; so the thump often heard through the speakers while
circuits are stabilizing will not be amplified. Similarly, when you initiate
the turn-off sequence, the ACE-515 will remove AC power from the amplifier at
once and hold the accessory power on for 30 seconds - until the power amplifier
has completely discharged. This on/off process automatically provides your
system components with power in the safest possible sequence and eliminates the
need to do all this manually. And this sequencing can be advantageous when
you're powering a video theater or computer system as well.
