DESCRIPTION

Alternating Current (AC), is a far-from-perfect power source. AC power technology is well over a century old and was never designed to meet the exacting standards of today's high resolution audio-video components. AC noise is present at the utility source, and is then exacerbated by radio frequency noise that is induced (picked up by the AC power cord) and coupled to the component power supplies and to circuit ground. This creates distortion and low-level signal losses via the "masking effect." Furthermore, power amplifiers can require immense reserves of transient current for their power supplies to react to and then stabilize during dynamic audio passages. Most AC power cords and power conditioner-regenerators, although helpful to a point, are simply not up to the task.

Power amplifiers present a real challenge for any AC power source, as the transient current requirements (although short in duration) can be many times that of the average (RMS) current consumption. Power amplifiers are also unique from all other components in that the current draw is dynamic, not constant, and it changes with volume and audio signal content. Although many AC power cords may feature low DC resistance to allow for some of this requirement, the characteristic impedance of the AC cable is equally responsible for ensuring uncompromised performance. Many premium AC cords constrict or compress the audio transient as their characteristic impedance restricts the transient current.

    For my purchases, it had the best price-to-quality ratio.

    Very professional work and an excellent result. They installed a sound system in a Mercedes Viano camper, and the acoustics and sound detail are now on a completely different level! It's almost on par with what I hear at home from quality speakers. The subwoofer is perfectly chosen, just right for my taste. Everything was done extremely carefully, with no extraneous noises or plastic rattling, and the wiring and integration are flawless. True professionals in their field, I recommend them.

    Everything is great. When problems arise, they call and inform you about the situation. Parcels arrive quickly. I have no complaints.

    I upgraded the original audio system in my Alfa Romeo SUV. We started with sound insulation and front door speakers with an amplifier. We finished with an additional amplifier with DSP and professional tuning :) The result exceeded all expectations. I've been using it for a year now and don't want to get out of the car :) The work was done super PRO. When questions or options came up along the way, they discussed them with me, consulted and advised. The best investment and modification I've ever made to a car, and I don't regret a single euro. Highly recommend

    Excellent service! The "Autogarso" team quickly and professionally installed a dash cam in my car. I especially want to thank administrator Robertas for his pleasant communication, thorough consultation and attentive approach to the customer. I recommend it to everyone looking for reliable car electronics specialists.

    I had sound and vibration insulation installed in the doors, wheel arches, trunk, and under the rear seat. The result was really noticeable. BMW g31
