Our audiophile extension block brings super quiet mains power to your system. Whatever your set-up, digital, analogue or both, the PowerStation will ensure your system is receives super quiet mains.
Power to the peopleThe iFi PowerStation is for everyone who likes their audio interference free. Put a stop to RFI or EMI noise and enjoy pain-free audio – all from one solid, snazzy dark anodised aluminium power block.
Ready, steady, go.The PowerStation uses iFi’s Active Noise Cancelation II to ACTIVELY eliminates noise across the frequency range, even across the lower frequencies. Each outlet has added passive filters to also eradicate noise from the very highest frequencies.
Nothing left to chance…Each outlet is independently isolated in its own chamber to prevent cross-contamination, with the addition of vibration-damping EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate). We use PurCopper – a form of 99.9999 per cent pure OFHC (oxygen-free high-conductivity) continuous-cast copper – for its superior conductivity.
Gives you the earth…The PowerStation has inbuilt earth/ground and polarity detection. No earth/ground can lead to annoying buzzes and hums – the scourge of audio. We’ve added a 4mm banana socket to the PowerStation so a grounding cable can be used to create a ground/earth when one isn’t present.
Bingo, the sound is gone.
…but keeps you groundedAnd the PowerStation is smart. The supplementary ground/earth connection will NOT introduce a ground loop EVEN if the system is already earthed. More than one earth would also create a ground loop leading to more buzzing and humming and we don’t want that.
Fiercely protectivePolarity detection is vital if you don’t want to hamper the quality of your audio mains. With the PowerStation, this is built-in. And never fear, max. 30,000A @ 1,000V/10uS surge protection is also here. If it detects a power surge or a mains short, the PowerStation will shut down, protecting your downstream equipment from peril.
Not so humble beginningsThe PowerStation doesn’t forget where it came from – the original AC iPurifier. You can still use your original AC iPurifier with the PowerStation – use them to separate your digital and analogue devices for even less noise contamination.
This
is an active not a passive product. As can be seen from the graph, it
cancels far more noise across the frequency range than a passive
product.
Active
filtration is MUCH better in the lower frequencies, at -40dB. Passive
filtration is only truly effective in the very top-end of the
frequency range.

more about passive v active filtration and noise contamination here.
Based
on military tech, our improved Active
Noise Cancellation2®
actively cancels all incoming noise. It
does this by generating a signal identical to the noise signal but in
the exact opposite phase.
It
reduces the noise floor by > 40dB (> 100x).
PurCopper
– a form of 99.9999 per cent pure OFHC (oxygen-free
high-conductivity) continuous-cast copper – is used extensively for
its superior conductivity.
This
includes 13 AWG, heavy-gauge internal wiring with multi-layered
polymer insulation, solid PurCopper busbars and the
conductive elements of the outlets themselves.
Our
Wireless Purification System (WPS) is a complex
circuit that reduces power line noise without audible or measured
side-effects.
This
is important because other solutions, while attempting to curb noise,
also hamper dynamics.
The
LED indicators show Polarity and Earth detection. As usual, green is
good, red signifies an issue.
There
are four possible combinations and these can be found in a brief
table in the User
Manual. This tells you what the issue is and suggests
how to remedy it.
The
Over-voltage Surge Protection (OSP)
is an auto detection and cut-off circuit.
Should
it detect an excessive power surge or short in the mains electricity
it will automatically cut off. If this issue persists, it will not
reboot and will protect your equipment from harm.
It
is effectiive to max. 30,000A @ 1,000V/10uS.
Our
Intelligent Ground is a smart diagnostic tool.
It
only actively provides an earth/ground connection if your system
needs one. It will NOT create a ground loop even if the system is
already earthed/grounded.
You
can use AC iPurifiers in the PowerStation.
The
more AC iPurifiers you use, the cleaner the overall power. If
the AC iPurifier is placed in the middle of the
PowerStation it will also act as a noise shield.
Noise is reduced, isolated and confined to the respective left/right
sections of the AC iPurifier.
Use
it to separate your analogue and digital devices.
