AC-3200 power bar & conditioner – clean power for better sound
What comes out of your speakers doesn't depend solely on the gear itself – it also heavily relies on the quality of the power feeding it. Modern household power lines are often polluted: DC offset, high-frequency noise, or voltage spikes can cause distortion, loss of dynamics, or a restless soundstage in sensitive audio components. The AC-3200 power strip addresses exactly that. It improves power quality right at the outlet – laying the foundation for a clearer, more precise sonic image.
Three versions – individually tailored.
The AC-3200 power strip is designed specifically for audiophile applications and offers customized solutions for various system configurations. Three versions are available – each fine-tuned for a specific use case:
AC-3200 DC Blocker: This version reliably eliminates DC offset from the power line, which can cause toroidal transformers to hum. The result is significantly quieter operation and clean power delivery – a clear advantage, especially for components with toroidal power supplies.
AC-3200 Filter Analog: Featuring a serial filter design (Type I) that routes current through inductors, this version is ideal for analog hi-fi gear such as amplifiers or phono preamps. The coils act as an effective barrier against power-line interference, enhancing sonic calmness and subtle detail resolution.
AC-3200 Filter Digital: This version uses a parallel filter network (Type II), purpose-built for digital audio components such as network players, DACs, or streamers. It effectively shunts high-frequency interference to ground without compromising dynamics or signal flow – perfect for clean digital signal processing.

Technology and Workmanship
Inside the AC-3200, solid copper busbars ensure stable, low-loss power distribution. The aluminum housing reliably protects the electronics—and seamlessly blends in visually with high-quality setups. In addition, an integrated surge protector shields your system from voltage spikes and other power disturbances. Every single AC-3200 power strip is subjected to a rigorous, CE-compliant electrical end-of-line test in our manufactory. This includes, among other things, a protective earth conductor test (high current test) and an insulation test (high voltage test).
Handicraft
The AC-3200 is crafted entirely in-house. From the initial concept and development to testing and final production, every component is made by us. In our German cable manufactory, we emphasize precision, quality, and dependable workmanship. From meticulous component layout and hand assembly to final quality control, every step in the process follows strict standards. This is the only way to ensure that each individual AC-3200 power strip meets our demands for sonic fidelity, durability, and long-term stability – and yours as well.
Standard In-Wall Wiring?
Even with conventional in-wall residential wiring, a high-quality power strip such as the AC-3200 can audibly improve power quality. Through targeted filtering technology, solid copper busbars, and optimized grounding topology, it establishes a stable "power supply island" directly at the components – especially when paired with high-grade mains cables. This setup suppresses interference signals and minimizes potential differences between components – a common cause of ground loop currents via RCA connections. The result is a more tranquil, clear, and detailed sonic image.
Test the AC-3200 at Home for 14 Days
Sound improvement should not remain just a theoretical promise. That’s why you can test the AC-3200 at home for 14 days—in your familiar listening environment, with your own equipment. Use our two-week, free trial listening service to experience for yourself how clean power supply affects detail, transparency, and dynamics. This way, you can find out which variant suits your setup—and whether a high-quality power strip makes a difference for you. Simply test, listen, compare—and decide for yourself. This service is only available in Germany and Austria.
