SINE SW-1P UK Mains Power Wall Socket

The SINE SW-1P UK is a high-end, audio-grade wall socket specifically designed for the British market. The "P" in the model name indicates that its internal contacts are plated with platinum. It is intended for audiophiles and high-fidelity (hi-fi) audio systems to improve the quality of power delivery by reducing electrical noise and resistance.

The SINE SW-1P UK, like other products in SINE's audiophile range, is based on the theory that higher quality and cleaner power delivery improves the overall performance of sensitive audio components. By reducing electrical noise and resistance at the wall outlet itself, the socket aims to provide a more stable and interference-free power signal to your hi-fi system. 

At our facility, metal components undergo an acid treatment to eliminate surface impurities, followed by a 2-micron phosphor bronze plating and an additional 2-micron layer of gold or platinum. This process safeguards against oxidation, preserving conductivity for years. The assembled units then experience cryogenic treatment at -196°C for 48 to 64 hours, realigning metal molecules to significantly lower electrical resistance. Crafted from robust aircraft-grade aluminum alloy, the panels effectively shield circuits from EMI and RF interference. Inside, pressure plates firmly secure plugs, optimizing conductivity. These design elements collectively enhance both sound quality and visual appeal.

• Platinum plating: The contact points are coated with an extra-thick layer of platinum over a phosphor-bronze base. This dual-plating process is designed to improve conductivity, resist oxidation, and maintain performance over time.
• Cryogenic treatment: The socket undergoes a -196 °C cryogenic treatment process. SINE claims this restructures the metal's molecular alignment, reducing internal stress and decreasing electrical resistance.
• UK standard: The socket is manufactured to the UK's British Standard, making it compatible with standard UK three-pin power plugs.
• Audiophile-grade performance: The manufacturer claims the SW-1P UK provides a "transparent" and "very quiet background" for audio equipment, allowing for a wider dynamic range.
• Electromagnetic shielding: The chassis of the socket is constructed from a thick aluminum alloy, which acts as a shield against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio-frequency interference (RFI).
