Thank you for your purchase of the PS Audio PowerBase.

The PowerBase is a state-of-the-art high-end isolation base that provides component level AC

cleaning, isolation and vibration control in a single package. The PowerBase provides both

vibration isolation as well as AC power isolation and cleaning from both common and differential

mode noise on the AC line.

The PS PowerBase will not restrict dynamics or soundstage in any high-end system and will, in

fact, provide a superior level of performance in micro and macro dynamics, maintain harmonic

integrity and improve the spatial and tonal character of instruments and vocals in any recording.

The PowerBase uses a two stage broad spectrum isolation technique to diffuse and redistribute

both surface and airborne vibrations from the loudspeakers. The first stage utilizes a relatively

stiff Sorbothane suspension supporting a low mass chassis while the second stage incorporates a

magnitude softer Sorbothane suspension system supporting a high mass 1/4" solid steel platform.

Between the stiff low mass base coupled with the soft high mass platform, a broad spectrum of

vibration diffusion is achieved that helps reduce microphonics in equipment.

The PS PowerBase utilizes large core high permeability magnetic devices, wound with heavy

gauge OFC windings for both common and differential mode filtering chores forming a virtual

one-way-gate for AC power issues both from the equipment itself as well as what comes out of

your AC wall socket. This construction technique allows PS engineers to use a minimal amount

of heavy gauge copper wire to build effective low loss filters, thus preserving micro and macro

dynamics for both audio and video systems.

PS PowerBases are built in Boulder Colorado by American craftsmen to the highest standards

internally and externally.

PS PowerBases should provide years of trouble free performance for your connected equipment

with the peace of mind they will always sound their best.
