iFi Audio - SupaNova

PRESENTING THE SUPANOVA TO THE SILENT POWER LINE-UP OF IFI PRODUCTS

iFi as a company was established in 2012, having a motto to create audio devices that make a difference. The engineers at iFi oversee the design and development of products from their headquarters in Southport, UK. They obtain their components from several countries, including Germany, the USA, and Japan. Aluminium, paper, and recycled plastics are just a few recyclable elements used to make iFi products and their packaging. Their parts are free of dangerous contaminants, and the engineers at iFi make sure that every product they release complies with environmental regulations. iFi prides itself on being an eco-friendly company. With such configurations in mind, the SupaNova was designed to bring the best sound quality to your audio systems.

USE THE SUPANOVA TO ELIMINATE POWER PROBLEMS THAT AFFECT YOUR AUDIO SYSTEM

In its nine-year history, iFi has produced a lot of "clean power" devices, but up until now, it hasn't designed a specialised IEC power cable for home audio components. The wait is over!! A power cable with a high-end design that belies its low cost called the SupaNova has been designed and developed by iFi. A specialised power cable with a high-end design that belies its low cost is called the SupaNova. It provides a significant improvement over conventional mains leads by giving sound more clarity, spaciousness, and definition. A unique arrangement for a product at this price point consists of five conductors, each manufactured of heavy-gauge, continuous-cast OFHC (Oxygen-Free High Thermal Conductivity) copper, arranged in a balanced geometrical manner. The earth conductor, located in the centre of the cable, is surrounded by two pairs of live and neutral conductors on either side. The two pairs of live and neutral conductors are kept separate by a second pair of air-dielectric delineators, which are polymer matrix tubes filled with air. This arrangement also enhances the cable's overall dielectric performance and constructive solidity.

GROUND ZERO CONFIGURATION INCORPORATED TO ELIMINATE EMI/RFI INTERFERENCE WHILE DELIVERING PURE SILENT POWER

The SupaNova uses five conductors arranged in a geometrically balanced form. The two pairs of live and neutral conductors are separated by the earth conductor that runs through the middle of the cable. Unlike other main cables, the ground conductor is organised in a shotgun configuration rather than being twisted. The magnetic fields of the live and neutral conductors cancel each other out perfectly when placed in a truly balanced arrangement. As a result, neither an undesired induced voltage on the Groundconductor nor a residual magnetic field applied to the Center Ground Conductor exists called the Ground Zero design, created by iFi. Each power line's concurrent shield reduces both internal and external RFI noise. The SupaNova power cable offers constant impedance and excellent EMI/RFI (Electromagnetic Interference/Radio Frequency Interference) rejection as a result of this clever combination of materials and structure, keeping the purity of mains electricity feeding each component in an audio or AV system.

SUPANOVA DELIVERS MAXIMUM PURITY AND CLASS-LEADING BUILD WITH IFI'S BESPOKE AUDIOPHILE-GRADE CONNECTORS

The cable is finished with iFi's specialised audiophile-grade connectors and a flexible polymer outer sheath. The connectors have conductors that are 24ct gold-plated and oxygen-free copper. Heavy OHFC (oxygen-free high thermal conductivity) continuous copper is used in the construction of Nova for exceptional conductivity and protection. When used alone, the SupaNova cable has a noticeable impact on sound quality. However, it works brilliantly in conjunction with iFi's PowerStation mains conditioning power strip because the PowerStation removes common mode and differential mode noise from the power supply while the Supaova maintains maximum purity to the connected component. iFi's Active Noise Cancellation II is the most cutting-edge noise-cancelling technology on the market. Even at lower frequencies, it reduces noise far more than a passive device does; across the entire frequency range. A Ground/Earth connection diagnostic, Polarity detection, Over-voltage Surge Protection, auto-detection and cutoff circuits, and Wireless Purification System; considerably decrease power-line noise without audible or visual side-effects. The SupaNova is a balanced power cable with a constant impedance design fused with concurrent shielding for each power line and a double circular helix power line design with an air dielectric delineator.
