Torus Power - the RM2.5, RM5, RM10, RM15, RM20 and the CS5, CS10, CS15, CS20

Who are Torus Power?

Torus Power is a Canadian company based in Toronto. Torus make Power Isolation Units (PIUs) that use torodial isolation transformer technology perfected by their parent company, Plitron Manufacturing.

Their main features are:

• NBT (Narrow Band Technology), which significantly attenuates mains borne noise without use of external filtering circuits
• LoNo (Low Noise) which eliminates audible noise generated by the transformer
• SMSS (Series Mode Surge Supression) which is surge supression technology that does not use sacrificial MOVs (metal oxide varistors)

What products do they have?

• 2.5A, 5A, 15A, 20A
• 120V or 240V inputs. 240V input products allow for 'balanced power' which provides additional cancelation of common mode noise (mains borne noise present on both live and neutral)
• 15A and 20A products have an AVR (Automatic Voltage Regulation) option which keeps the output voltage at a steady 120V

  

What are the main benefits of using them?

The audible result of using Torus products is increased dynamic contrast and higher clarity resulting from:

• Increased instantaneous power delivery - a 20A Torus can deliver 400A peaks
• Cleansed power - starting at 2kHz Torus products filter out noise at 12dB per octave all the way through to 1mHz

Watch this great video that explains in more details what power issues there are and the features of the Torus units.

Here is another video from CEDIA showing the measured effects of the Torus units on power quality.

Where can I get a demonstration?

Acoustic Frontiers has demo units available and we can offer in home demonstrations with the SF Bay Area that show the audible and measurable effects of these units. We have the ability to measurably compare the input noise and output noise levels using an oscilloscope so that you can see the difference in noise! Please contact us for more details.
