This is a single-outlet version of Audience's well known aR6 and aR12. From Audience:
"The aR1p Adept Response provides surge suppression up to 20,000 amps. Whereas surge suppression devices like the ubiquitous MOV (Metal Oxide Varistor) are sacrificial devices and wear out over time, the aR1p surge suppression does not deteriorate. We have also found that MOV devices introduce grudge to audio and video signal. The surge suppression in the aR1p is entirely silent. The aR1p employs wide bandwidth RF filtration. By reducing power line noise interference the Adept Response provides a lower noise floor and blacker background, resulting in a higher resolution audio/video presentation."
Very good at lowering the noise floor, "cleaning up the grunge" and "offering improvements in focus, clarity and transparency". Ideal for use with source components, preamplifiers and headphone amplifiers.
The aR1p has received many glowing reviews. Here is a small selection:
- The Absolute Sound: "... it seems to peer more deeply into the orchestra’s interior, revealing details and increasing transparency. The unit seems to extend the back wall of the hall even farther back. And then it fills this new space with an extra helping of reverberant air."
- Dagogo: "I would have sworn someone had put a much more expensive DAC into my system."
- Positive Feedback: "There were noticeable gains in transparency and detail retrieval that transformed long-familiar pieces into newly-discovered gems."
