Synergistic Research PowerCell 14 Power Conditioner
Taxes & Shipping Included
The architecture of high-fidelity audio power delivery finds its contemporary zenith in the Synergistic Research PowerCell 14, a component engineered to entirely recontextualize the relationship between components and raw electrical current. Far from a mere utility component, this masterwork of isolation moves beyond conventional line filtering by deploying a sprawling matrix of 14 fully isolated AC outlets, each sustained by seven monumental, second-generation folded Electromagnetic (EM) Cells. By vastly amplifying the filtering surface area to draw instantaneous current clean of artifacting, it actively insulates delicate analog, high-frequency digital, and heavy high-current amplification stages from catastrophic cross-contamination. The resulting performance manifests as an unprecedented lowering of the noise floor, revealing micro-dynamic textures, expanding soundstage holography, and delivering transient weight that lets your audio system breathe with absolute transparency.
For over a decade, we’ve been incrementally refining and improving our PowerCell models to deliver best-in-class, award-winning line conditioning for the most demanding audio enthusiasts. Now in development of our forthcoming flagship SRX PowerCell, we’re completely rethinking and re-engineering our newest generation of PowerCells to take your system to even greater heights with regards to effortless dynamics, engagement, and realism.
Introducing the all new PowerCell 14. The power for passion has never been more evident.
A Comprehensive Redesign of Our Patented EM Cell
Our Electromagnetic Cells are the foundational building block responsible for line conditioning. While previous upgrades to the PowerCell brought forth improvements, the advancement has not been as revolutionary as it is today because we’ve fundamentally rethought the construction of the EM cell versus continuing to refine it:
- A comprehensive redesign of the EM cell, inherited from our forthcoming flagship SRX PowerCell, more efficiently filters out contaminants to the signal, resulting in a lower noise floor and better dynamics.
- The overall surface area of the cell as gone up 100x from previous generations to deliver a significant increase in electromagnetic conditioning.
- Doubling its function as a supercapacitor, the amount of available energy has gone up 100x, enabling even the most power-hungry amplifiers to sound more dynamic with better leading-edge transients plugged into the PowerCell than plugging it straight to the wall.
The end result enables more information to pass through in both a smoother and more holographic and accurate sound field than previous generation PowerCells.
Re-engineered ULF and DC Biasing
ULF, in its most basic principle, is how we ‘reclock’ our music to the Schumann Resonance by passively addressing and filtering out ambient RF and extreme high frequency noise that would otherwise degrade sound. The PowerCell 14 utilizes the Galileo SX PowerCell’s power supply and ULF Field Generator and improves upon it in the following ways:
- We implement a reformulated Ultra Low-Frequency RF bias captured from learnings gleaned from our SRX PowerCell and Voodoo streamer/server development programs.
- The nature of how we bias ULF has dramatically changed.
- The way we integrate both ULF and DC into EM cells has also changed.
- The power supply that generates the DC bias to EM cells has been radically evolved.
- New 24k Gold UEF tuning circuits bring harmonic richness and enhanced musicality.
With these advancements, SR is now able to precisely control the phase points between the frequencies used for bias. When selecting between the two biases on the PC14, they reflect SR’s most current understanding of ULF treatment and will deliver a more favorable, welcoming response to your music.
Three frequency bias, one perfect sound
Blue (Default): This option offers a laid-back midrange with a linear transition of notes from low frequencies to midrange to highs, creating a large and enveloping sound stage.
Green: The midrange is slightly more forward compared to the Blue option, with a bit more bass emphasis.
Red: Convincingly portray large-scale performances and electronic music.
Grounding, Elevated
The internal power supply and ULF Generator included in the PowerCell 14 are further enhanced with a UEF Ground Plane first developed for the Galileo SX PowerCell to lower the noise floor and increase soundstaging. And to take this performance to a higher level still there is the option to ground the PowerCell 14 to one of our Active Ground Blocks which improves low-frequency weight and attack as it lowers the noise floor further still without sacrificing one of the duplexes, so you have the full 14 outlets to filter all components in your system without loss of current.
9 Lighting options
Change the color and intensity of the light that illuminates the front and a top circuit view window. Select between Galileo White, Synergistic Research Blue, Dante Red, and McIntosh Blue to match its lighting to the other components in your system. And if you prefer no light at all you can choose to be boring, it’s all up to you.
