overview
  • Designed to augment the effect of our existing mains filters and woven cables .

  • Especially useful for comabating noise created by Wi-fi networks and ethernet-over-mains.

  • Can be used near to your equipment and close sources of noise.

  • Simple, plug-in design.

Mains Zapperators are designed by respected audio designers Ben Duncan and Paul Houlden, and are available exclusively from Russ Andrews. They can be used on their own or in conjunction with our Silencers, Purifiers and cables - or any other manufacturers' filters and cables.

Our listening tests have shown that they're particularly useful in houses with wireless computer networks, and also in houses that use 'ethernet-over-mains' computer networking.

We can also incorporate the Mains Zapperator into our PowerBlock mains extension; simply check the 'Mains Zapperator' box when specifying your PowerBlock upgrades..


Where should I use them?

The Mains Zapperator is fitted into a 'plug-top' unit, designed to connect to standard mains sockets. Use the plug-top unit close to your system to create a 'quiet area' around it, and ideally also throughout your home next to sources of noise: such as your computer in another room. If using three, get one connected close to your router, another next to your computer and a third close to your Hi-Fi or Home Cinema system.


Why should I use them?

With the proliferation of wireless computer networks (not just in our own homes, but also our neighbours') and ethernet-over-mains (again, even from neighbours), Mains Zapperators are designed to specifically target the noise these devices can put onto the mains supply. Due to the complexity of Radio Frequency Interference, it's worth experimenting with the location and quantity of Mains Zapperators to find the best effect.


More is even better

Using more than one enhances the overall effect. If you use more than one, get the others plugged in next to items susceptible to RFI (maybe the computer upstairs) and filter the interference at source. Our Triple packs are perfect for this.

Reviews


"With the Zapperator, the music seems more lifelike and real. The edginess associated with strings becomes subtly more musical, mellow and effortless."

Yes, I recommend this product.
"Excellent Results"
These really do work on anything you fit them too. I have purchased 4 of these, because after I fitted the first the gains right across the music was huge. Thanks Russ for a product that really works at a sane price.
