Dual-Transformer Power Conditioning for Absolute Control & Silence

The Audes DT-3600 is a reference-grade power conditioner designed for high-end audio systems that demand the very best in isolation, stability, and noise-free operation.
Engineered around a fully dual-transformer architecture, the DT-3600 provides two completely independent power domains — one for digital components, one for analogue components — ensuring that each part of your system receives clean, stable, interference-free power.

Hand-built in Europe using premium components and massive transformer assemblies, the DT-3600 is designed to elevate the authority, refinement, and purity of your entire audio chain.

Dual-Transformer Architecture: Two Power Rails, Zero Interference

The DT-3600’s most defining feature is its twin-transformer layout:

🔹 Dedicated Digital Rail

For streamers, DACs, servers, transports, network switches, routers, and digital front-ends.

🔹 Dedicated Analogue Rail

For preamplifiers, phono stages, turntable power supplies, and integrated amplifiers with modest current demands.

By isolating digital and analogue components at the transformer level, the DT-3600 prevents:

• digital switching noise polluting analogue stages

• ground loops

• HF contamination

• jitter-related artifacts

• shared-supply compression

This separation results in blacker backgrounds, cleaner treble, richer tonal purity, and more stable imaging.

Massive European Transformers, Zero Compromise

Like all Audes power products, the DT-3600 is built around:

• Custom-wound, oversized transformers

• Low-impedance internal wiring

• Heavy-duty linear filtering

• Ultra-robust grounding topology

• Industrial-grade switches and outlets

This ensures a stable, low-noise supply capable of:

• improving timing and microdynamics

• enhancing transparency

• reducing harshness

• stabilizing bass response

• eliminating power-related distortions

Every component is hand-selected, tested, and assembled by Audes’ European engineering team.

Transform Your System’s Noise Floor

Users typically report:

• a wider, deeper soundstage

• increased separation around instruments

• smoother vocals

• more analog, natural flow

• a profound sense of ease

• dramatically quieter system background

The DT-3600 doesn’t “color” the sound — it removes what should never have been there.

High-End 8-Outlet Powerstrip with Integrated DC Blocker

The Audes PS-8DC is a premium 8-outlet powerstrip designed specifically for high-end audio systems that require clean power distribution and protection from DC offset on the mains.
Unlike standard power bars, the PS-8DC integrates a high-capacity DC blocker, eliminating DC components that can cause transformer hum, mechanical vibration, and degraded performance in amplifiers and sensitive source equipment.

Hand-built in Europe using high-quality components, the PS-8DC is the perfect combination of power distribution, DC blocking, and audio-grade engineering — ideal as the foundation of any serious hi-fi system.

Why Choose the Audes PS-8DC?

🔹 Built-In DC Blocker

The standout feature of the PS-8DC is its integrated DC suppression.
It blocks DC offset on the mains that can cause:

• mechanical hum in toroidal transformers

• increased noise floor

• reduced dynamic headroom

• transformer overheating

• harshness or glare in the sound

By ensuring a pure and symmetrical AC waveform, the PS-8DC allows components to operate under optimal conditions.

🔹 Eight High-Quality Grounded Outlets

The PS-8DC provides 8 grounded CEE 7/3 outlets, suitable for:

• amplifiers

• integrated amplifiers

• streamers

• DACs

• phono stages

• preamps

• active speakers

• network switches

• turntable power supplies

This makes it ideal for larger systems with multiple components needing clean, stable power.

🔹 Japanese Electromagnetic Circuit Breaker

Like the PS-6, the PS-8DC uses a Japanese-made electromagnetic breaker, which offers:

• superior durability

• consistent, non-compressive overload protection

• silent switching

• stable electrical operation

• zero impact on current delivery

This is vastly superior to thermal fuses or cheap rocker switches found in consumer-grade strips.

🔹 High-Quality Internal Wiring & Build

The PS-8DC is engineered for low impedance and high current capability, with:

• thick internal wiring

• short, direct electrical paths

• low-resistance connectors

• fully grounded chassis

• vibration-resistant construction

This ensures the powerstrip never bottlenecks the performance of your amplifier or sources.
