Duet Power Center
AC cleaning and protection at our lowest price ever. The Duet is a no-compromise performer that features our exclusive Nano Crystalline filters, dual differential zone cleaning, over under voltage as well as surge and spike protection that is state-of-the-art. The Duet has no power limitations and will not restrict dynamic range of connected equipment. Clean spacious and open performance for audio with richer blacks and a more three diemnsional image for video. The Duet is perfect for any small system or as a standalone power center for power amplifiers of any wattage. Compact and powerful, the Duet is the perfect choice for any system.
If budget or space requirements preclude the use of the Power Plant Premier, then there's no better choice than the Duet or Quintet Power Centers. Both provide chassis level power conditioning with remarkable results at an affordable price.
The choice between a Duet or Quintet comes down to the number of outlets and zones you require. The Duet and Quintet both have the same level of filtering and protection. The Duet provides 2 zones and 4 outlets while the Quintet provides 5 zones and 10 outlets.
The Duet is housed in a gorgeous chassis whose industrial design is based on the outsides of a BMW motorcycle and is the workof one of PS Audio's industrial designers, Chris Malato. The outer housing is extruded out of a solid half inch thick piece of aluminum, then machined and anodized into one of the best looking metal sculptures to ever grace a person's home.
The Duet Power Center is capable of powering an entire system's worth of equipment and provide clean, safe power where it is needed. It can be placed behind a power amp, behind a system rack or shelf, attached to the rack, or nestled between the floor and the wall due to its truncated triangular shape.
The Duet has 2 IsoZones™, microprocessor control and state-of-the-art AC noise filtering that improves the performance of connected equipment. This is component level cleaning and protection in a compact format.
The Duet is perfect for power amps, projectors, individual pieces or a small system requiring only four receptacles.
What the Duet will provide
The Duet provides clean, noise free power at frequencies considered state-of-the-art in a chassis based product and unheard of in this form factor and size.
In fact, while most “strip” products provide little to no filtering, The Duet provides component level filtering starting at 40kHz and above. Remarkable for a product of this size and cost. The Duet can be used separately or in addition to other cleaning products for wonderful results.
The Duet provides this component level of cleaning without restricting the power (which is not true in many of our competitor's products).
The secret of the Duet's unrestricted power delivery is found in the small Nano Crystalline cores that permit short heavy lengths of high purity copper wire to be used for the filter. Even on a heavy 15 amp load, there's no measurable drop in voltage with a Duet Power Center.
Unrestricted, clean and safe power is what the Duet provides along with stunningly beautiful video and audio performance.
Let's take a tour
The Duet provides up to 1750 watts of clean, pure and protected AC which is enough power for even the most demanding systems. Whether it's an audio based two channel system or a video setup, 1750 watts will power pretty much anything you have.
The Duet Power Center features 4 AC receptacles and 2 IsoZones, a fast acting circuit breaker, Nano Crystalline filter, Power Cartridge, microprocessor controlled under and over voltage surge protection.
IsoZones™
An IsoZone is a separate differential mode filter, fed by a common mode Nano Crystalline filter. Differential mode filters clean noises generated by the equipment itself while a common mode filter cleans the incoming AC of noises already on the power line.
Each of the 2 IsoZones on the Duet cleans and separates equipment noise. All electronic equipment generates AC line noise, some more than others. When you plug a digital device in the same receptacle as an analog device, the noise of one can interfere and contaminate the performance of the other. To solve this problem, you need effective isolation between equipment.
The IsoZones use very short pieces of heavy gauge wire, wrapped around small high permeability magnetics to achieve a high level of separation as well as great performance with unrestricted power.
Each IsoZone is fed from a common mode filter made of pure Nano Crystalline, a remarkable new space age material that has the highest permeability of any magnetic material currently available.
Together, the two filters form an isolated cleaning network that is both non-intrusive and an excellent performer.
Power Cartridge surge and control
The Duet features a removable power cartridge at its AC input.
This unique power cartridge is the Duet's first line of defense against surges, spikes and lightning hits. The Power Cartridge can be easily replaced in the field should a problem ever occur. For instance, if the home is struck by lightning or a surge big enough to damage the cartridge, it easily slides out and can be replaced by either the dealer or the customer.
The Duet is perfect for that small system or a power amp
The Duet is the perfect low cost small power center.
Placed behind a TV or a power amplifier, or used to power any small system, the Duet brings component level filtering and protection to any AV system.
Why compromise your equipment's safety or performance when the Duet is both effective and affordable? Make sure you have at least a Duet Power Center in your system.
