ATLAS Eos Modular 4.0em Power Management System
We live in an extremely polluted environment in electrical terms. Mobile phones, computers, domestic appliances etc,each potentially contribute to RFI (radio frequency interference) and EMI (electromagnetic interference). Creating ‘noise’ which adversely affects the performance of your equipment. Your system itself and your household wiring typically also add to the problem. Even the neon power indicators on conventional domestic blocks are a source of noise, which is why Atlas don’t fit them to their blocks.
Ensuring a clean power supply is a fundamental step in removing such noise, which is why they’ve created the Eos Modular Power Management System, comprising two mains blocks and a series of complementary power cables.
The Eos Modular 4.0em is a premium, fully screened power extension block designed and built to deliver unimpeded power to the most sophisticated audio system components. Performance is further enhanced by integration with Atlas's Grun Coherent Earthing System.
The block is internally wired with the same high-purity OFC conductors as the 4.0em power cable. Consistency of elements is highly desirable in this context, minimising material ‘barriers’ which are themselves points of weakness.
Housed in a robust steel chassis, the Eos Modular 4.0em can be supplied with either 6 unfiltered power sockets, or in a 3 unfiltered/3 filtered configuration. The latter are particularly suited to use with streamers, network bridges etc.
The block is fully shielded, constructed from a welded steel chassis with anti-vibration contact damping and is configurable with optional filtered sockets. All components are of the highest quality, with the filtering circuit board being of heavy-duty design with gold-plated connections.
A technique is used called ‘Atlas ssd’ (sequential socket decoupling) to ensure that even those sockets which are not subjected to inline filtration enjoy a level of interference-free operation. The benefit is all the sockets perform and measure identically; not the case with normal domestic blocks where the sockets nearest the cable entry typically perform best because the impedance rises as resistive losses accumulate on each ‘daisy-chained’ socket.
