Product Introduction
The Nova is the SubStation replacement. Unlike its predecessor there
are no complex power requirement calculations to establish prior
to installing the unit. Nova also dispense with the SubStations
isolation transformer based filtering system which unless properly
understood had the potential to restrict the dynamic delivery of
an audio system.
The
Nova has been designed to represent the ultimate 'front-end' filtration
system for up to six components. The unit posses unlimited transient
delivery as well as stopping component cross contamination. Although
the Nova is suitable for medium to high-end systems, for those audiophiles
seeking a cost-no-object power management system use the Nova in
conjunction with a Titan (for power amplifiers) for ultimate performance.
Features
The new Nova dispenses with isolation transformer technology in
favour of a direct-coupled design with a nine-stage series and parallel
filter configuration. This is optimised for a high degree of common
mode rejection, with the highest possible differential mode rejection
compatible with low insertion losses. Great care has been taken
to minimise insertion loss at mains frequency. Another asset of
an isolation transformer would be a balanced supply, however the
new circuit also offers these desirable characteristics, especially
at high frequencies where it could be debated it possesses superior
performance.
To
ensure the Nova has enough power delivery for an entire audio system
two things out of the ordinarily have been achieved. The minimum
constant running ability of the device is rated at over 4,600 watts.
Secondly, the unit is fitted with an RCBO, this high tech electronic
fusing offers huge transient overloads whilst remaining safe. It
also has the added bonus of protecting power cords against long
term overload conditions.
Placement
The Nova can be placed either on a dedicated shelf of an equipment
support rack. Adequate ventilation should be given to the unit,
therefore we would not recommend that it is covered or enclosed
in a very tight space. It is also recommended that the unit is not
used outside or in areas susceptible to damp conditions.
Equipment
coupling
The Nova has been designed specifically for complete audio or audio
visual system requirements where high current delivery becomes an
issue. Nova is so powerful in terms of transient ability that it
is only limited by the network it is plugged into, therefore if
possible we would recommend a dedicated supply be installed; we
will be posting additional information on this in the future. At
the rear of the Nova chassis are six high quality unswitched outlets,
these can be used for ALL components including high current devices.
System
integration
The Nova should be used with its supplied power cord. Should users
wish to change this for their own preferred brand the cable MUST
be rated with a minimum of 16Amps. We strongly recommend that a
good quality mains cable be used throughout your system. Look for
a cable with good conductors, for example oxygen free copper, this
cable should also possess a high degree of shielding from RFI
