iFi SupaNova

iFi's new SilentPower range addresses mains noise to improve audio and video system performance.

In our nine year history we have made several "clean power" products, but we have never made a specialized IEC power cable for home audio components - until now!

The SupaNova is a specialized active power cable with a high-end build that belies its affordable price. It offers a significant improvement over standard power cables, giving your sound greater clarity, space and definition.

The SupaNova features five conductors, each made from heavy gauge OFHC (Oxygen Free High Thermal Conductivity) copper, arranged in a balanced geometric configuration, something very unusual at this price point.

Two pairs of hot and neutral conductors are arranged on either side of the ground conductor, which is located in the center of the cable. On each side of the ground conductor is another pair of air dielectric liners - essentially air-filled polymer matrix tubes - that keep the two pairs of live and neutral conductors separated, while improving the overall dielectric performance of the cable and its constructive solidity.

The cable is finished with a tough yet flexible polymer outer jacket and audiophile-grade connectors custom made by iFi, with 24K gold-plated oxygen-free copper conductors.

As mentioned, the SupaNova incorporates five conductors, each made from heavy-gauge OFHC (oxygen-free high thermal conductivity) copper, arranged in a geometrically balanced configuration.

Two pairs of live and neutral conductors are arranged on either side of the ground conductor, which is located in the center of the cable. The ground conductor is arranged in a shotgun configuration and not twisted like other network cables. The live and neutral conductors are arranged in a truly balanced configuration, so their magnetic fields cancel each other out perfectly.

As a result, there is no residual magnetic field applied to the central ground conductor, and there is no unwanted induced voltage in the ground conductor - we call this design Zero Ground.

The SupaNova takes the Nova and adds a cylindrical casing for part of its length. This contains our patented Active Noise Cancellation II technology.

ANC II actively eliminates much more noise across the entire frequency range than a passive product, even at the lowest frequencies. We use reverse noise current to cancel network signal noise. The way it works is comparable to noise canceling headphone technology.

The SupaNova includes our wireless purification system to significantly reduce mains noise without audible or visible side effects and
a polarity detection system to ensure correct polarity at all times plus surge protection, an auto-sensing and cut-off circuit to protect your equipment.

By combining Nova's sophisticated construction with Active Noise Cancellation II, the SupaNova has become a clean "do-it-all" power cable solution that provides optimized power to the individual components of the audio/video system without the need for an independent network conditioning device.

The sonic improvements offered by the SupaNova power cable include greater clarity and definition, as well as improved dynamic and spatial qualities, avoiding the apparent softening of leading edges, timing and dynamics that can occur with filtering products. lower quality network.

Most power grid conditioning products use passive noise reduction through a selection of filters and regulators. Although this can be effective, it has inherent disadvantages. Passive noise reduction systems are effective at the high end of the frequency spectrum, but are often less effective at lower frequencies. Additionally, passive systems need large capacitors to be truly effective, making the best products of this type bulky and expensive.

iFi's active system uses reverse noise current to cancel network signal noise. Noise in the electrical network occurs at different frequencies, depending on the cause. Active Noise Cancellation II technology creates a power conditioning device that is highly effective at consistently reducing noise across the entire frequency spectrum, yet compact and light enough to be placed inside the cable itself. network.

Our Wireless Purification System (WPS) is a complex circuit that reduces power line noise without audible or measurable side effects. This is important because other solutions, although they try to stop the noise, also hinder the dynamics.

Overvoltage Protection (OSP) is an automatic detection and cut-off circuit. If it detects a surge or short circuit in the mains, it will automatically disconnect. If this problem persists, it will not reboot and will protect your equipment from damage by being effective up to a maximum of 30,000A @ 1,000V/10uS.

Our smart earth is a smart diagnostic tool. It will only actively provide a ground if your system needs it. It will NOT create a ground loop if the system is already grounded.

Our Ground Zero design ensures that the ground conductor within the cable is not affected by residual magnetism and unwanted induced voltage.

The constant impedance design helps maintain the purity of the mains electricity flowing to each piece of equipment in an audio system or AV setup.

The use of geometrically balanced pairs means that the magnetic fields caused by the live and neutral conductors cancel each other perfectly. This is a key component in the design of Ground Zero.

The cable design incorporates concurrent shielding for the individual power lines and therefore creates a cable that offers constant impedance, is superbly isolated from EMI/RFI and powers your audio or AV system with clean electricity to enhance sound and performance.
