EAT Essential Audio Tools MM8

The Mains Multiplier 8 is not an ordinary power strip, but rather a work of art crafted on a CNC machine that shapes this form from a single piece of synthetic material.

The type of the six sockets is chosen due to the high contact pressure, which is evident when plugging in or removing a power plug. Higher contact pressure and optimized contact surface create a low resistance value, which is very important for good power distribution.

The wiring of the phase, neutral, and ground is connected according to a star principle. Each outlet has its own wiring to the input connector. Current spikes or interference signals that appear on the ground contacts of one socket will now have less effect on the other sockets.

Just behind the IEC input connector, a Pulse Protector is integrated. This prevents spikes and pulses from reaching your equipment. Two outputs are equipped with internal high-frequency filters that contribute to a natural sound and detailed image.

Where to use?

Wherever you need to connect multiple loads to the mains, a mains multiplier is a wise choice. Of course, you will need to use high-performance power cords, otherwise a mains multiplier will not work optimally. It’s a combination of factors; only if you use a mains multiplier in combination with high-performance power cords will you get the best results for your audio system.

Of course, it is possible to use a mains multiplier as an ordinary power strip without high-performance power cords, but this will not give you optimal results.

Smart phase indicator

The Mains Multiplier 8 has a very clever way of indicating that it is properly connected to the mains power supply. Two LEDs will indicate whether the Mains Multiplier 8 has an input voltage, whether the ground is present, and whether the phase of the mains power is properly connected.

If the Mains Multiplier 8 is properly connected, you will see two green lights. If one light is off or one light is red, something is wrong with your connection. See the figure for an explanation of the different indications.

• The benefits
  • Phase, neutral, and ground “star-wired” for better performance
  • Protects all eight contacts thanks to the Pulse Protector inside
  • Four HF filtered output sockets
  • The IEC C13 input connector gives the freedom to use the preferred power cord
  • Smart indicator for correct mains connection
