Chord PowerHAUS Mains Blocks In Stock & On Demo
Chord Company has applied its 38-year cable manufacturing skill to power distribution for the first time. The British cable brand has unveiled two new Chord PowerHAUS mains blocks, the Chord PowerHAUS M6 (£1999) and Chord PowerHAUS S6 (£999).
Available in two performance levels, the S6 (Studio) and the flagship M6 (Master), the six-way PowerHAUS distribution devices are the result of one of the longest product development phases the company has ever undertaken, following initial research undertaken as early as 2003.
MAINSARAY
The UK-designed and assembled devices, which are available in both UK and Euro specifications, distil Chord Company’s decades-long understanding of signal and power transfer and benefit from a unique version of the company’s proprietary ARAY technology, MainsARAY, which has been specially advanced for power distribution.
Both the M6 and S6 avoid the use of noisy filters, neon power indicators and switches, all of which have been claimed to reduce sound quality. Their solid aluminium construction is also designed to minimise the effects of microphony.
CHORD COMPANY RESEARCH
Chord Company’s long-term research showed that the best wiring configuration for sound quality avoided star-wiring, instead favouring three isolated bus bars running in parallel, limiting contact and subsequently reducing high-frequency noise (whilst remaining outside of the circuit). Secluding the earth bus bar from the live and neutral also brought further sound quality improvements during testing.
CHORD COMPANY POWERHAUS M6
The flagship M6 offers the best outright performance and utilises three hybrid MainsARAYs fitted in parallel (rather than in series). The S6 retains many of the M6’s core features, yet introduces a lower price point.
The PowerHAUS blocks benefit from specially selected, high-quality, heavy-gauge cables throughout, with sockets chosen for their reliability and sound performance. A high-performance 16-amp IEC allows the PowerHAUS blocks to cope with even the most demanding home audio systems.
