The Sound of SilentPoweriFis new SilentPower range tackles mains-related noise to improve audio/AV system performance. They have made a number of clean power products in our nine-year history to date but theyve never made a specialist IEC power cable for home audio components until now! The SupaNova is a specialized active power cable with a high-end construction that belies its affordable price point. It delivers a serious upgrade over standard mains leads that imbues sound with greater clarity space and definition.

The CableThe SupaNova incorporates five conductors each made from heavy-gauge continuous-cast OFHC (Oxygen-Free High Thermal Conductivity) copper arranged in a geometrically balanced configuration highly unusual at such a price point. Two pairs of live and neutral conductors are arranged either side of the earth conductor which is positioned at the centre of the cable. A further pair of air-dielectric delineators essentially polymer matrix tubes filled with air are arranged either side of the earth conductor keeping the two pairs of live and neutral conductors apart whilst improving the cables overall dielectric performance and constructive solidity. The cable is finished with a tough yet flexible polymer outer sheath and iFis bespoke audiophile-grade connectors complete with 24ct gold plated oxygen-free copper conductors.

Ground ZeroAs already mentioned the SupaNova incorporates five conductors each made from heavy-gauge continuous-cast OFHC (Oxygen-Free High Thermal Conductivity) copper arranged in a geometrically balanced configuration. Two pairs of live and neutral conductors are arranged either side of the earth conductor which is positioned at the centre of the cable. The ground conductor is arranged in a shotgun configuration and not twisted around like other mains cables. The live and neutral conductors are arranged in a truly balanced configuration hence their magnetic fields cancel each other out perfectly. As a result there is no residual magnetic field being applied to the centre-ground conductor and no unwanted induced voltage on the Ground conductor we call this design Ground Zero.

Power Conditioning Activated!The SupaNova takes the Nova and adds a cylindrical housing partway down its length. This contains our proprietary Active Noise Cancellation II technology. ANC II actively eliminates far more noise across the frequency range than a passive product even across the lower frequencies. We use inverse noise current to cancel out the noise in the mains signal. The way this works is comparable to the technology in noise-cancelling headphones.
