The POWER STRIP uses star wiring for the phase, neutral and earth originating from one point and thus eliminating this problem. Each outlet has its own supply connected with 3 x 2.5 mm² (13 AWG) wire. We deliberately avoided the uses of fuses or a switch as both clearly compromise dynamics and sound quality. The high quality aluminium housing protects against EMI/RFI and has an advanced earth circuit.

We also used the technology of our SNS PLUG in a module: the SNS MODULE. The wires used are our own special KE-POWER WIRE. This SNS MODULE is located directly at the input (star-point) of the POWER STRIP. SNS stands for "Shunt Noise Suppressor".
The most important advantage of a parallel noise suppressor is that there are no serial components (i.e. coil) connected with the outlets. The parallel noise suppression technology of the POWER STRIP provides a very clean and spacious reproduction with a much richer and stronger bass.

To get the best results from the POWER STRIP the correct polarity is important. The red dot on the power plug has to be at the phase side of the (wall) outlet. This will make the phase correspond with the phase indicators at power outlets of the POWER STRIP. Due to the standardization this is not applicable in the UK and USA.
The order of connecting components to any power strip always affects the results (sound and/or picture quality). This highly depends on the components and personal preference. Although the unique star wiring of the POWER STRIP strongly minimizes this, we advise the following order, based on extensive listening tests.
amplifier(s) and subwoofer if present
preamplifier
cd-player (with a separate system, DAC before than the drive)
tuner
video/tv
turntable

The POWER STRIP has an IEC 320/C20 input connector for easy connection of other lengths than the standard 5 feet POWER CORD, for instance our POWER CORD PLUS.

Just like every audio component the KE-POWER STRIP has to run in for at least a month to reach maximum performance.

We also provide the POWER-STRIP with skilful mountingplates to install it at the wall or floor.

The KE-POWER STRIP is available with outlets for the following countries: Germany, Belgium/France, Switzerland, Italy, Great Britain, United States/Canada and Australia.

In addition to the standard version of the POWER STRIP we also launched a PLUS version of it. Over the standard version, it has the following additional features:

attachment power cord: POWER CORD PLUS
built-in QA MODULE, connected to the output
input connector featuring gold plated contacts
output sockets featuring gold plated contacts
all contacts are treated with DeoxIT and Silclear
After many hours of experimenting and listening we came to the stunning conclusion that the powercord between wall-outlet and POWER STRIP had far more influence than the one going to the equipment powered. We chose the POWER CORD PLUS because it matched best in this configuration. The built-in QA MODULE creates an even more natural sound and the harmonic structure of the bass widens. The frequency response seems to extend to the lower regions. Gold plated contacts ensure the best contact possible from the beginning, and they ensure this good contact stays for longer periods of time.

Convince yourself from the benefits of both the standard- and the PLUS-version and you''ll see the PLUS-version has the best price/quality ratio. Special order
