The MiniSub has always been at the heart of ISOL-8, providing class leading performance at an affordable price. Improving the MiniSub was a real challenge, thousands of satisfied MiniSub owners across the world proved that it was going to be a difficult act to follow. Through careful development and adaptation we have managed to incorporate many of the innovative technologies found in the highly regarded flagship ISOL-8 SubStations, taking the all new MiniSub Wave and MiniSub Axis a substantial step forward whilst remaining outstanding value for money.
Both the MiniSub Wave and MiniSub Axis share the same fundamental layout and filter complement. The differing technical requirements of low and high current loads are reflected in the separated filter topology found in both versions.
For low current loads, such as source components, each outlet has a separate filter network. This is the feature that made the original MiniSub such a ground breaking product. It reduces system component cross contamination, stopping mains borne noise from one system component affecting others.
Unlike most other conditioners, which only deal with common mode noise, the low/med power outlets can suppress both common and differential mode noise, armed with a new Transmodal filter topology.
For more demanding loads, the separate high power section gets a new multistage filter using custom wound components. This cleans current hungry, noisy components like amplifiers much more effectively than before, without squashing dynamic performance.
"Because mains quality varies according to location, products like the Isol-8 MiniSub Wave really need to be auditioned in situ. Nevertheless I’m confident that most hi-fi enthusiasts will find this unit delivers very worthwhile benefits, even to those with fairly clean mains." HiFi Choice Recommended March 2012 |
"The ISOL-8 MiniSub Wave provides a significant aural improvement to your music – whether that be via a digital or analogue source. It won’t conjure up new musical strengths but it will allow your hi-fi to properly perform to its true potential, quite possibly for the first time." HiFi World April 2012 |
ISOL-8, a UK-based company, is at the forefront of providing top-of-the-line power conditioning and distribution equipment for hi-fi and audiovisual systems. Whether you require power management, a simple performance enhancement, or the latest state-of-the-art solutions, ISOL-8 has the perfect answer.
Established in 2003 by Nic Poulson, ISOL-8 addresses the issue of compromised power supplies in hi-fi and AV systems. With Poulson's background in broadcast engineering and his commitment to excellence, ISOL-8 has emerged as a leading authority in mains power conditioning for audio and AV applications.
Drawing on his expertise from working with the BBC and in audio amplification and airport lighting systems, Poulson recognised the need to address the overlooked power supply challenges in hi-fi and AV systems. This led to the formation of IsoTek Systems, followed by the establishment of ISOL-8 to continue the development of Poulson's groundbreaking ideas.
Poulson's innovative approach has revolutionised power conditioning in the industry. He pioneered using multiple filter sections to combat noise cross-contamination between audio components and introduced DC blocking techniques to enhance sound quality. ISOL-8's use of Transmodal filter technology, which effectively blocks common and differential mode noise without redirecting it to ground, sets them apart in the audio and AV applications market.
ISOL-8 has dispelled the negative perception associated with power conditioning by overcoming the shortcomings of previous designs and their inflated performance claims. Poulson's unwavering dedication to innovation and uncompromising standards has resulted in substantial performance gains for audio and AV systems affected by compromised mains power. As a result, ISOL-8 has garnered a loyal following among those who value exceptional sound quality. Today, the company offers diverse, reliable, practical solutions tailored to various audio and AV applications.
With ISOL-8's power cables, Powerline Axis, Powerline, Substation, Minisub 2, and Minisub Wave, you can elevate the performance of your audio and AV systems to new heights. Designed and manufactured in the UK, ISOL-8 ensures you receive the highest quality power conditioning products to optimise your listening and viewing experience.
