Supra MD 06/SP - Complete shielded 6-way power strip

All models are fitted with Supra NIF (Non-Intrusive Filtering), an efficient high-frequency (RFI) transient filter. It is designed and configured to suppress RFI interference efficiently, but not to dampen the fast-charging demands of the connected devices. Supra NIF was developed by Ben Duncan Research in England.

The SP models are all fitted with Supra Surge Protection, which protects all three ways, i.e. live to earth, neutral to earth and live to neutral. Manufacturers of standard surge protectors think it is sufficient to offer only live-to-neutral protection, and they offer no protection against field surges from nearby lightning strikes. The only better way to protect your equipment compared with Supra SP is to completely disconnect all mains power, connections and communication with adjacent devices. Unfortunately, thunderstorms don't follow a schedule; next time you might be at work ...

All filters and all protection need a socket with an earth terminal to work. If your multimedia and hi-fi equipment is of a certain standard, it will probably need an earth connection itself and use an IEC-320 connection for detachable power cords. If your equipment is like that and you have no earth terminal in your sockets, we recommend contacting your landlord and/or an electrician to arrange an earth connection. This will undoubtedly increase both the sound quality and the safety of your equipment.

The Supra mains blocks are shielded and radiate low levels of electrically generated fields thanks to their aluminium chassis, which is connected to earth potential. The conductive chassis drains internal interference to earth and also prevents adjacent RFI and other malicious fields from entering the distribution block. To work correctly, it must be connected to an earthed socket with a power cord with an earth conductor. The power cable connecting the mains block to the wall socket and the power cables to each device must also be shielded for maximum interference attenuation/immunity. We recommend our Supra LoRad Mains Flex as the best alternative to combine with our distribution block. If you are new to mains shielding and filtering, you will undoubtedly notice the difference.

The field leakage from the standard power cord supplied with the vast majority of multimedia devices can clearly be detected with our Supra AC Detector; http://www.jenving.com/products/view/ac-sensor-110-230v-1071100026 Simply touch the supplied power cord with the white tip of the AC Detector and you will hear a warning and see the tip flash red rapidly, indicating radiating mains fields. Now switch to a Supra LoRad power cord and touch the cable with the tip ... This field is contagious and adds a superimposed 50-60 hertz signal to all nearby connections. Consider what such a power cord can do to a subwoofer interconnect: the subwoofer plays a constant tone at the mains frequency over the music or film signal. Efficient shields are one of Supra's most important design features – you have earned the right to listen to the music alone!
