Information:
The Soloist in-wall power conditioner is a High Current Ultimate Outlet and spike protector built into the wall. No longer do you need to have in and out power cables for the UO. The same performance can now be achieved with the power conditioner where it belongs, in the wall!
More Information:
Just imagine, power conditioning and AC protection right where it belongs! At
the source of the AC, your wall socket.
The Soloist is one of those great products that everyone looks at and says “why
didn’t I think of that?”
Well, fortunately, we did and here it is!
Take a High Current Ultimate Outlet with all its cleaning and purifying
power, add in spike protection and place it in the wall (instead of its chassis)
along with a protective cover and you have the Soloist!
The Soloist is the world's first and ONLY in-wall AC power conditioner on the
planet. This is the real deal.
Why did it take us so long to come out with this? Truth is, we’ve been working
on the Soloist for well over a year but it's not so easy to put all that
cleaning power in a small space. Also, since it is inside your home's walls we
wanted to make sure it had all the safety approvals just to make sure there was
never any doubt about installing it. However, it turns out getting safety
approval for an in-wall device is no easy task and takes a long time and a lot
of work.
But we engineered a beautiful package and we finally received ETL approval and
the Soloist is ready to debut in your home!
So, what’s inside the Soloist?
First, check out the beautiful quarter inch thick solid
machined aluminum plate the Soloist enjoys. It's really a gorgeous piece when
you see it on your wall.
Secondly, behind the plate is an updated version of our incredibly popular High
Current Ultimate Outlet, encased in a protective plastic cover with three wires
coming out the back to connect to your house wiring. Simple, eh? You bet, but
don't be fooled by its simplicity!
The Soloist is a full on power conditioner and spike protector right at the
wall!
The main element of the Soloist is a balun, just like the UO.
A Balun is a donut of powdered iron with a wire wrapped around each half of the
donut. In the case of the Soloist, the balun is quite large and the wire
extremely heavy gauge so there's no degradation of micro and macro dynamics.
Every effort has gone into the Soloist's design to maximize dynamics and keep
the sound open, the picture vivid and clean.
When an AC signal comes into the balun's two wrappings of wire, the balanced
design cancels out anything in common to the two wires. Unlike series filters
that only work on noise over a specified frequency range, a well-designed balun
cancels a great deal of noise without a lot of wire in the way, thus doing so
without any type of dynamic restrictions.
Down with Noise, Up with Power
The Soloist’s balun reduces common mode noise by up to 40 dB, meaning that
whatever noise is on the line will be reduced by over 100 times, and also
handles differential noise. This major cleaning effort takes place at
frequencies beginning at 100kHz.
Differential and common mode noise are the two basic forms of noise found on
home AC lines. Both are bad, and both are reduced significantly by the Soloist.
Most other single element conditioners address one or the other type of noise,
but rarely both like the Soloist.
Spike protection is second to none
Using our now famous super MOV technology for surge protection, the Soloist
provides 100% spike protection for anything connected.
Clean and protected power right where you need it
The real beauty of the Soloist is its ability to provide clean protected AC
where you need it, at the wall. The Soloist avoids the extra power cables to
connect it, removes the chance for radiated noise from close proximity equipment
to enter into its input, and provides unrestricted AC to your conditioner or
equipment.
No more tangled cords or confusing choices of which power cable to feed into the
conditioner, the Soloist solves all these problems by simply eliminating them.
The Soloist should be the first AC line of defense in the PS system of power
delivery. It makes sense to first start with the Soloist in the wall, then
connect everything else in your AV system to its output.
Even Power Plants and Power Directors are better served if they get a first dose
of cleaning from the Soloist before they go to work on providing even cleaner
AC.
Two way protection from noise
One of the beauties of the Soloist is the bi-directional nature of its passive
AC filtering. While it does a good job of pre-cleaning the AC line itself, it
does an equally good job of keeping the noise generated by connected equipment
from going back on the line.
It’s not well known that our AV equipment generates noise from their AC to DC
conversions circuits, from switching power supplies etc. Every time you plug in
a piece of audio video equipment, you are adding line noise to your home.
By placing a Soloist on every power outlet in your listening room, you reduce
the contamination your equipment places on the line, while improving the
performance of your connected equipment.
No restrictions
The Soloist cleans the power coming out of a home's AC sockets
without restricting the power. This helps improve the performance of both audio
and video components.
Three dimensionality is enhanced as is the beauty of an audio system's top-end
and midrange sounds, yet never at the expense of dynamics or bass.
In a Home Theater environment, the picture noticeably improves. Better color
definition, clarity and image depth are immediately apparent.
Installation
The Soloist can be easy to install. In fact, if you are installing the Soloist
in a double gang box (one that already has two duplex sockets) then it’s as easy
as a Power Port and takes just a minute or two.
If you are replacing a single duplex socket in a single gang box, then it is a
bit more difficult, but still easy.
Everything you need is included with the Soloist, including the double gang
in-wall junction box it needs.
To install where a single gang box was, you will need to first remove the single
gang box, create a larger opening in the drywall to accommodate the new double
gang box, and install the Soloist.
In new construction, it’s particularly easy just to spec in a double gang box.
Behind your equipment, behind a plasma screen
Have a tight situation with your install? The Soloist makes it a snap. It goes
behind a plasma screen, behind a floor mounted power amp, TV, or anywhere you
need clean, protected AC power.
The Soloist is the first step in building a great foundation for your AV system
and another revolutionary new product from PS Power. There’s simply nothing
like it in the world.
