Perhaps you have already noticed that your system sounds better at night than it does during the day. The following phenomena are responsible:
Voltage fluctuation
in the mains supply grid. Significant fluctuations in voltage are especially likely to occur in heavily populated areas, in blocks of flats or in close proximity to industrial parks. If the voltage is too low, the performance potential of the device is reduced. If the voltage is too high, this may result in permanent damage.
Interference from the power grid
Voltage fluctuations are not the only factor to afflict picture and sound quality. Interference from high frequencies, distortion, DC components, etc. is also a compromising factor.
Interference between devices
Every device and/or group of devices generates its own characteristic interference pattern.
The new active power drivers from in-akustik actively compensate for the usual voltage fluctuations in the mains supply grid. During periods of heavy consumption, the mains supply voltage is often significantly under 230 V and, when consumption is light, it can be significantly over. Using a completely new electrical process with a "calibrated" reference, the device checks the output voltage, correcting if need be via sophisticated electronics. Similar equipment does exist, but mostly with an efficiency of about 50 % when drawing only 1 kW. The active power distributors from in-akustik provide stable voltage, even at full power (3.6 kW/16 amps), and they filter out interference (e.g. from high frequencies, DC components or distortion of the seine curve) as well. Interference which can be transmitted from one piece of equipment to the next is decoupled (in the extended version) by additional filters, which are adjusted to match the hardware concerned. Another extended version even permits this filtering to be programmable.
The active power drivers from in-akustik are based on an entirely new principle called the superimposed modulator.
As opposed to the conventional process, this technology remodulates the output voltage through addition and subtraction. This means that the modulator only has to compensate for the difference between the actual and target amplitude instead of the entire amplitude. This enables extremely fast regulation and the ability to handle the maximum power of 3.6 kW. Three different models will be available.
