The proper way of breaking a ground loop is to disconnect the offending ground, which is what HumZero will do. Customers often break ground loops through the use of AC cheater plugs, but this is unsafe as AC grounding should be maintained. When a loop occurs hum, noise, and degraded performance of the audio and video system are the result. Ground loops occur when a second, competing grounds with an electrical difference is added. In an audio or video system, the ground should be the single lowest point in the circuit as provided by the AC power. Use HumZero between the incoming cable and your television, cable internet modem, or any CATV connection that shares a common ground with your high-end audio system. HumZero can be used to galvanically isolate the CATV ground of your internet modem or cable television box keeping clean the house ground. The most likely culprit comes from our internet/cable television providers who tie the grounds of their noisy systems at the street. The problem for audio systems is when another ground at a very different potential is tied into the home. That ground is generally handled by a copper rod buried deep in the ground. Typically, we rely upon one common ground that our electrical system is referenced to. Wherever the outside world enters your home is where the potential for ground contamination exists. HumZero permits unrestricted data transfers reliably exceeding 500 Mbps. HumZero's galvanic isolator provides a ruler-flat video or streaming audio signal producing either broadcast-quality images or high-resolution audio data you can depend on. Using galvanic isolation techniques, HumZero isolates outside noisy grounds from cleaner inside grounds while maintaining perfect picture quality up to 4K Ultra television signals, or high resolution streaming audio up to 384 kHz 24 bit and beyond. PS Audio's HumZero stops ground contamination before it can enter the system. Once connected together, the dirty outside cable television grounds will mix with your home's cleaner AC power grounds and degrade the performance of both the video as well as audio systems. If your audio system has any connection to your AV system, or a cable internet modem, then you need PS Audio’s HumZero. Noise and ground contamination enter our homes and dirty our grounds through CATV connections with the cable company.
More often than not, our home audio systems commingle with connections to the outside world and this can be problematic. But, most of us don’t live in perfect worlds. In a perfect world, our audiophile-grade systems would benefit from a dedicated ground, one that only the stereo system is connected to. The cleanliness of that ground has a major impact on both sound quality and noise levels. It’s where our audio signals, from the tiniest moving coil cartridge output to the largest output from our preamps and sources all reference to.
When that day comes you will know HRS has your best interest in mind by the design.Removes unwanted noise and prevents ground loops in the audio system by means of galvanic isolation.Īt the heart of every high-end audio system is ground. If you are like us and enjoying the magic of music and movies is a way of life then you will at some point be making changes to your system. Every HRS Isolation Base and audio stand can be upgraded, changed, expanded, and reconfigured using much of the HRS products you already own.
#Audio isolator upgrade#
HRS can still upgrade the performance of the very first isolation bases we designed in the late 1990’s to utilize some of the latest key technologies in our current reference level isolation bases. Every product is designed with the end user and the future needs of their audio system in mind. We use the products we develop to listen to music at home. Performance is first at HRS and even though we are driven each day by our engineering and manufacturing expertise, we are first and foremost people who love music. Used together as a system, HRS products will redefine what you thought was possible. HRS products are designed to individually make a significant improvement in the performance of a high-end audio or video system.
