INTRODUCTION
Your Audio/Video components are constantly being bombarded by electromagnetic interfer- ence (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI) through their power cords. This contam- inated power can affect A/V equipment and will degrade the overall performance of your entire system. Common symptoms of contaminated power include pops, hisses, hums, visual arti- facts, etc. Most power filtering devices will remove some of this interference but don’t pro- vide a real solution to the problem.
The MAX® 5300 Sophisticated Filtration
System is a Real Solution!
Outlet Banks 1 & 2:
The primary filtration system features two banks of independently filtered outlets (4 per bank) for A/V equipment. These outlet banks utilize “Balanced Double L” filter circuits which are far superior to any other design in filtering out all forms of electromagnetic and radio frequency interference in both common and normal modes.
High-Current Outlet Bank:
The unique power requirements of current hungry components such as amplifiers and powered subwoofers are also addressed. These components can rapidly draw large amounts of current to replenish their power supply capacitors after thunderous bass notes. Line conditioners that utilize coils (inductors) in series with the AC power line can “choke” off this large inrush current, thereby reducing the amplifiers’ ability to operate at peak per- formance levels, resulting in a flat, dead sound.
