Excellent sound starts with the power supply – and this is exactly where the AC-3200 power strip with integrated DC blocker comes in. It filters disturbing direct current components (DC offset) from the power grid, ensuring a symmetrical voltage supply. Ring core transformers benefit especially from this: humming noises are effectively prevented, efficiency increases, and distortion decreases. The DC blocker technology also protects the transformers from magnetic saturation – a condition that not only causes noise but also costs power and can impair sound quality.
The AC-3200 was fully developed in-house – from the initial concept through prototypes to the finished product. It is manufactured in our own workshop. Inside, massive copper busbars and high-quality sockets ensure stable conductivity and reliable power distribution. The brushed aluminum housing protects the technology and represents durable quality. An integrated surge protector provides additional safety for your hi-fi components.
Each AC-3200 is individually tested – with CE-compliant high-current protective conductor testing and high-voltage insulation measurement. This ensures that every power strip meets the highest technical standards – for reliable operation and long-lasting sound quality.
Note on the variants: The AC-3200 DC blocker is available in three versions: DC-15, DC-30, and DC-45. All three versions are designed for a maximum socket power of 3680 watts. For medium and large high-end systems where more punch and dynamics are required, we recommend the DC-30 or DC-45 variants with two or three times the capacity. This provides the right solution for every setup – from compact systems to powerful hi-fi systems.

From the power plant to your system
Before music sounds in your living room, electricity has traveled a long way. Electrical energy is generated in power plants – for example, by wind, water, sun, or fossil fuels – and transported to your home through an extensive network. To minimize transmission losses, electricity flows through high-voltage lines with up to 380,000 volts. Only after several steps in substations is the voltage reduced until finally 230 volts are available at your wall socket – ready to power your hi-fi system. But electricity does not remain untouched along the way: every cable, every transformer, and every junction is a potential source of interference. In addition, devices in your environment – household appliances, computers, photovoltaic systems, or charging stations – feed network distortions, high-frequency noise, or direct current components into the power grid. These disturbances reach your system, impair the power quality, and can audibly affect the music signal. Because sound does not start at the source – it begins at the socket. Those who pay attention to clean power supply lay the foundation for more silence, dynamics, and transparency in the soundstage.
Power grid distortions – invisible troublemakers
Hardly anyone operates their own power plant. When you connect your hi-fi system to a standard household outlet, you are part of the public power grid – shared with refrigerators, PCs, heat pumps, photovoltaic systems, or charging stations from your own home and your neighbors. All these devices inject disturbances: high-frequency noise, direct current components, voltage fluctuations – a spectrum of interference that can measurably and audibly affect your hi-fi chain. The built-in power supplies and circuits in your devices can absorb some of these influences, but not all. The rest settles like a veil over the music signal, reducing dynamics, detail, and spatial depth. Typical effects – such as flickering lights when turning on a hairdryer or crackling sounds from speakers when the refrigerator kicks in – show how omnipresent these disturbances are. Interference from the entire household also accumulates in the fuse box or at the outlet. Digital components are particularly sensitive – and it is precisely here, at the power source, that the true sound quality you experience is decided.

The right solution for every hi-fi system
With the AC-3200 power strip, you get a power supply specially designed for audiophile demands. The series includes three versions perfectly matched to different applications:
- AC-3200 DC blocker: protects your hi-fi system from direct current components in the power grid, prevents transformer hum, and ensures symmetrical power supply – ideal for components with ring core transformers.
- AC-3200 filter analog: the serial filter network (type I), where the load current is routed through coils, is ideal for analog devices such as amplifiers, preamps, or turntables. The coils offer high resistance to grid interference and reduce it selectively. This results in more silence and detail in the soundstage.
- AC-3200 filter digital: the parallel filter network (type II), which diverts annoying interference frequencies to ground, is designed for digital components such as streamers, DACs, and network players. It filters high-frequency interference especially effectively without compromising the dynamics of your devices.
Each version of the AC-3200 is the result of consistent development and targeted sound optimization – for a listening experience that inspires.
Development and manufacturing in our workshop
The AC-3200 power strip is a true workshop product. From the initial idea through prototype construction to the final result, every component was completely developed by us. In our own cable workshop in Germany, we rely on the highest precision and craftsmanship. Every detail – from selecting components to assembly and final inspection – is in our hands. This ensures that every AC-3200 power strip meets our high standards for sound quality, reliability, and durability.
Safety at the highest level
Safety and quality are our top priorities. That’s why every single AC-3200 power strip undergoes a strict, CE-compliant electrical inspection in our workshop. This includes, among other tests, a protective conductor test (high-current test) and an insulation test (high-voltage test). Only when all tests are passed does the power strip leave our production. This way, you can be confident that every AC-3200 meets the highest standards not only in sound but also in safety.
Massive copper busbars – maximum conductivity
Inside the AC-3200, 16 mm² copper busbars ensure low-loss and stable power distribution. These massive busbars made of high-purity copper guarantee exceptional current-carrying capacity and minimize contact resistance. The result: your hi-fi system is reliably supplied with full power at all times – even during dynamic music passages and high volumes, the foundation remains stable. Thanks to the generously sized cross-sections, high currents are safely and evenly distributed to all connected components.
DC blocker against direct current and hum
Many household appliances and modern devices generate direct current components (DC offset) in the power grid. These can cause ring core transformers in hi-fi components to reach magnetic saturation. The consequences are hum noises, power loss, and reduced sound quality. The AC-3200 version with integrated DC blocker reliably filters out these direct current components and ensures your audio components receive symmetrical and interference-free power. This keeps your sound clear, powerful, and free from annoying hum.

Tested quality
Every AC-3200 leaves our workshop only after passing the individual inspection. For us, it matters that technology and performance are verifiable in everyday use – not just on paper.
-
The difference
The AC-3200 goes far beyond simple power strips: it specifically eliminates interference sources in the power grid and relies on high-quality materials as well as sophisticated filtering technology. This ensures a noticeably more stable and cleaner power supply for your hi-fi system.

Development with practical focus
We designed the AC-3200 to directly address typical interference sources in the power grid. Every detail is the result of our own measurements and practical experience.
