iFi SilentPower GND Defender - Intelligent Ground Loop Noise Eliminator for Audio Systems | IEC Connector Ground Control Device | Perfect for Home Studios, Hi-Fi Systems & Professional Audio Setups

Product Description

iFi’s GND Defender is the latest is the SilentPower range and a further example of iFi’s quest for quieter power. The GND Defender is designed with adaptability in mind and can be used in any system with IEC connectors. Removing the annoying hums and buzzes present in audio systems is something iFi’s SilentPower range does best and this device is our most versatile solution to this issue so for. From its sleek white design, to its Hospital-grade IEC connectors, everything about this device has been meticulously considered and polished. If you can hear a hum or buzz through your speakers, it is likely that you have a ground loop problem. This occurs when two or more audio components in a system are connected to a common ground (or earth) point via different paths – for example, if two different wall sockets on the same circuit are used to power different components in a single audio/AV system in which the components are connected via electrical (as opposed to optical) signal cables. If a problematic ground loop exists, the GND Defender resolves the issue by disconnecting the loop running through the connected component. By using one or several GND Defenders in a hi-fi system, the user can ensure that all components are connected to a common ground via a single path, eradicating the resulting hum through the speakers Interference caused by ground loops can also affect picture quality in AV systems, resulting in issues such as visible scrolling bands. The GND Defender will help to solve this problem, too. The GND Defender are constructed so that they do not compromise the RFI/EMI shielding or filtering that may be offered by the connected power cable or filtering device further upstream. They are solidly 3 made, their casing has a high dielectric rating and they surpass the highest safety standards. And, with a voltage rating of 90V to 240V, they can be used all over the world.
