The Technology

The Silencer has been designed to efficiently remove degrading mains noise from the electricity feeding your components.

It works passively, 'alongside' the mains rather than 'in-line', meaning that it has none of the drawbacks of these type of mains filters – drawbacks such as loss of musicality and reduced dynamic range.

It is a wide-band filter, effective at filtering over a broad frequency range.

For the techies amongst you, it is a 'passive differential and common mode inductorless non-resonant harmonic filter'.

Silencing mains noise: Two ways to use The Silencer

The first in our range of power conditioners, Silencer is a compact device that can be used in two ways:

  • Its primary use is to 'silence' mains noise at source – common culprits are computers and computer peripherals (printers, scanners, monitors etc.); fridges; freezers; battery chargers and so on.

    Silencer is designed to simply plug in close to these sources of noise: plug one into the double wall socket that your fridge is plugged into, for example, and reduce the mains noise from it at source.

    Many customers use more than one around their homes, using the Noise Sniffer to locate and identify sources of noise.

  • Silencer is also an effective and inexpensive 'local' power conditioner – simply plug it in as close to your Hi-Fi or Home Cinema and create a 'quiet area' around it.

    Plugging it into a spare socket in your mains extension is ideal - our X-Block power extensions automatically have the Silencer built in, which means you aren't using up a socket.

Silencers are effective even if you are using our more powerful Mini Purifier or PowerPurifier conditioners. In this situation, we recommend locating your Mini Purifier or PowerPurifier close to your system and using the Silencers around the house close to sources of noise.

Reducing voltage spikes

In addition to being an effective mains conditioner, the Silencer incorporates our SuperClamp spike and surge protection to help reduce the effect of voltage spikes.

SuperClamps 'grab' the spike and reduce its intensity. In our opinion, high voltage spikes can raise the background noise level in amplification circuits, which is why it makes sense to try and reduce them.

To maintain their effectiveness, we recommend replacing SuperClamp components every five years. Any product with a SuperClamp can be returned to us for factory replacement of the parts at lower cost than buying a new product.

"Does What It Says On The Tin."
these mains conditioners helps you get the best out of your system no matter what level your system starts at.....one conditioner works but the more you have the better so right now i have 3 in my mains sockets for the last 3 years so to be honest my 4k tv..Dvd player n my freeview box sound 100% better n my tvs picture has gained...so to sumup all your Electrical units will have their life exstended by at lease 5 years.

"Excellent"
Strongly suspecting that my ancient fridge was reaping havoc with the mains, I plugged The Silencer in next to it, and the results have been remarkable.

There's a palpable absence of interference, resulting in a far more detailed bass and sense of space around the instruments. The sound from my Hi-Fi is more intimate and convincing than before.

I played The Walker Brothers 1978 album Nite Flights on vinyl, and it was like hearing it anew. The music conveyed with superior timing and added punch.

In a world seemingly overflowing with hot air, The Silencer lives up to all its claims. Thank you.
