Vibex Granada SE Dual D.C. Power Filter Block

Descripción

The Granada SE is the culmination of over 25 years of investigation into power filtering and energy control systems.
We sincerely believe that the Granada SE is a major step forward in power distribution for high end audio and video
systems.
All equipment is very susceptible to D.C. on the mains. Even source components with very small transformers are
negatively affected by D.C. Needless to say big mains transformers suffer the most. These are found in the majority
of integrated and power amplifiers. Switch mode power supplies also suffer when D.C. is present.
Even small amounts of D.C. seriously reduce the efficiency of an equipment’s power supply. This reduces dynamics,
silence and information in a system. Most transformers will produce hum when D.C. is present. Even if you can’t
hear any hum coming from a piece of equipment, this is no guarantee that D.C. is not present on your mains power
supply.
Removing D.C. efficiently from your system is probably one of the largest improvements in quality that you can
achieve. All components in your system will take a large step forward in quality. The difference when the Granada
SE is in your system is far from subtle!
The Granada SE is not just a D.C. filter, but also incorporates a very advanced energy control and dissipation
system. The Granada SE chassis is machined from solid pieces of Krion, a solid surface with excellent properties.
This material has proven to be far superior to a solid aluminium chassis or any other metal case. The Granada SE
employs individual damping for every component. This allows us to damp and control energy and avoid cross
contamination to other components in the system. The Granada uses the latest high-tech elastomers to dissipate
residual mechanical energy caused by the mains power itself and vibration received through the air and the mains
cables that supply the equipment. All this energy control helps to create the silence that is paramount for a system
to work at maximum efficiency.
All components within the Granada SE are selected by ear for optimum quality. Precision laboratory equipment is
far from adequate for component selection. Every Granada SE is measured after its initial running-in period to
confirm that it complies with our specifications and then we listen to it in our reference system before sending it to
the customer.

Recommendations
The Granada SE can be connected to the mains permanently. However, we do recommend that you completely
turn off and disconnect your system every 10 – 14 days. This includes the Granada SE, which should be unplugged
from the wall socket and left for an hour or so before being reconnected to the mains power. This process ensures
that your system dissipates waste energy that builds up within every component.
Please follow the connection instructions to obtain maximum efficiency from your Granada SE.
