Introduction
The Orion has two sockets, one medium output and one high output.
It has been developed to work with a source component and a high
current device, integrated amplifier or power amplifier. It is possible
to use a number of Orions throughout an audio system, for example
two Orion's to power a CD, DAC, pre / power system combination.
In this application the performance would be superior to a GII Mini
Sub.
Overview
The sophisticated Orion circuit has been developed for high-end
applications and although compact in scale the Orion is packed with
the latest technological breakthroughs.
Features
The Orion uses a complex multiple shunt, multiple series and multiple
delta filtering coupled with sophisticated gating principles and
proprietary 'Polaris-X' technology. These features effectively stop
components seeing or talking to each other and isolate source from
high current components.
Through ground breaking research and development, IsoTek have been
able to resolve the problems of neutral shift without the traditional
limitations of a components physical size. This technology also
paved the way for the research and subsequent release of the Titan.
The
Orion features two high quality unswitched sockets, one rated at
700 watts (medium) ideal for source components, CDs, DVD, SACDs,
turntables etc, and the second rated at 2300 watts for high current
devices, for example projectors, large integrated and power amplifiers.
It is however also possible to use the high current socket on source
components.
The
Orion represents true cutting edge technology delivered in astonishing
industrial design.
Placement
Although the Orion can be positioned in a number of environments
we recommend that the unit be wall mounted using our dedicated bracket
system. If this is not viable, then position the unit so that the
LED indicator light is visible and the unit is not covered by cabling,
soft furnishings or positioned near heat sources, such as radiators
or air ducts. Do not let liquids spill onto the unit. If this should
happen, immediately switch of the unit at the wall socket, wait
for at least one minute, unplug all other cables and return the
unit to your nearest authorised IsoTek dealer.

Equipment
coupling
Position the Orion so that the 'IsoTek' logo is facing you and readable.
To the left of the unit on the edge is an earth post and IEC inlet,
which takes the power from your wall socket. You should also notice
an LED indicator light mounted toward the top centrally on this
face. When the unit is connected to a mains power supply this light
will illuminate giving indication that the Orion is fully powered
and functional. The top of the unit features two high quality unswitched
outlets, these accept all brands of mains cable.
System
integration
It is strongly recommend that a good quality mains cable is used
and this cable is consistent throughout your system. Look for a
cable with good conductors, for example oxygen free copper, this
cable should also have a high degree of shielding from RFI.
