PC-2 EVO+ is a technologically advanced, power conditioner, designed to power and protect Hi-Fi audio-video systems. This conditioner not only effectively protects against interference and overvoltage existing in the home power grid, but also guarantees a significant improvement of the quality of sound and displayed picture of the devices connected to it.

CONSTRUCTION

All elements of the conditioner are mounted in a rigid steel-aluminum chassis, which rests on anti-vibration feet, made of solid anodized aluminum, with an additional layer of the company's 35 mm thick elastomer.

To reduce vibrations transferred to the conditioner, its chassis was additionally damped with a bitumen-polymer composite mat.

The front panel of the conditioner, is made of a thick slab of aircraft aluminum, the surface of which, after precise milling, is roughened and then anodized in two colors - black or silver.

In the central part there is an LED display indicating the value of the input voltage. The voltmeter is characterized by resistance to distortion and measurement errors caused by higher harmonics, while not generating any interference that could degrade the quality of the voltage filtered by the conditioner.

The PC-2 EVO + has six, top-quality proprietary output sockets, with contacts of large surface area. The brass contacts are technically silver plated, with no intermediate metal layers such as copper or nickel, which could introduce unfavorable series resistance and voltage drop. Proper operation of the unit is indicated with a white LED mounted in the middle of the faceplate. The conditioner is also equipped with an additional circuit that signals if the device is incorrectly connected to the mains. Its activation is indicated by a red LED located on the back, informing of incorrect polarity of the conditioner's power supply or a defectively connected grounding.

TECHNICAL SOLUTIONS

The design of the PC-2 EVO+ is based on a unique eight-stage filter architecture using the most advanced, uncompromising components. The conditioner is equipped with three autonomous filtering branches, serving separate three sections, consisting of four outlets each. This allows isolation of individual loads from mutual interference generated by connected devices using a common power line.

The innovative two-stage power distribution system is based on massive distribution rails made of OFHC C10100 oxygen-free copper bars of 99.997% purity. The first stage allows for lossless and even voltage distribution to the individual filter branches. The second stage delivers current directly to each quart of output sockets. The company's semi-multistrand conductors with enlarged cross-section, made of silver-plated oxygen-free copper insulated with Teflon, are responsible for the transmission of current between the individual modules. These solutions ensure even and stable power distribution regardless of the load on the individual outputs of the conditioner.

The company's anti-interference capacitors are responsible for the essential filtering of interference, and are manufactured to CigaWatt's strict specifications. Surge protection of the conditioner is provided by high-end elements with increased absorption and aging resistance. A two-pole hydraulic-magnetic circuit breaker custom manufactured to GigaWatt specifications was used as overload protection. This component acts as a circuit to control the value of current flowing through the internal circuits and as the main circuit breaker of the conditioner. Lossless current transmission is ensured by printed circuits with extremely wide conductive paths made of silver-plated copper of extreme thickness that is up to fifteen times thicker than standard PCBS Interference suppression is provided by RLC-type filtering blocks, built using, among other things, the company's Audio Grade filter capacitors and filters based on cores with significantly lower power losses, enabling a significant increase in the value of current flowing through the filter.

Standard equipment of the PC-2 EVO+ is the DC Offset Blocker - a circuit that eliminates the unwanted DC component of the electric grid. It allows to effectively eliminate this phenomenon, without causing compression or any other negative effect on the sound.

The design of the conditioner's internal components allows it to handle a momentary load of 90A! To ensure the highest possible
