The Nova is our SubStation replacement. Unlike its predecessor there are no
complex power requirement calculations to establish prior to installing the unit.
Nova also dispense with the SubStations isolation transformer based filtering
system which unless properly understood had the potential to restrict the
dynamic delivery of an audio system.

Features

The new Nova dispenses with isolation transformer technology in favour of a
direct-coupled design with a nine-stage series and parallel filter configuration.
This is optimised for a high degree of common mode rejection, with the
highest possible differential mode rejection compatible with low insertion
losses. Great care has been taken to minimise insertion loss at mains
frequency. Another asset of an isolation transformer would be a balanced
supply, however the new circuit also offers these desirable characteristics,
especially at high frequencies where it could be debated it possesses
superior performance.

To ensure the Nova has enough power delivery for an entire audio system
two things out of the ordinarily have been achieved. The minimum constant
running ability of the device is rated at over 4,600 watts. Secondly, the unit is
fitted with an RCBO, this high tech electronic fusing offers huge transient
overloads whilst remaining safe. It also has the added bonus of protecting
power cords against long term overload conditions.

Placement

The Nova can be placed either on a dedicated shelf of an equipment support
rack. Adequate ventilation should be given to the unit, therefore we would not
recommend that it is covered or enclosed in a very tight space. It is also
recommended that the unit is not used outside or in areas susceptible to
damp conditions.

Equipment Coupling

The Nova has been designed specifically for complete audio or audio visual
system requirements where high current delivery becomes an issue. Nova is
so powerful in terms of transient ability that it is only limited by the network it is
plugged into, therefore if possible we would recommend a dedicated supply
be installed; we will be posting additional information on this in the future. At
the rear of the Nova chassis are six high quality unswitched outlets, these can
be used for ALL components including high current devices. Nova is also
available in U.S. and European specification, to find a distributor in your
country click 'Where To Buy'.

System Integration

The Nova should be used with its supplied power cord. Should users wish to
change this for their own preferred brand the cable MUST be rated with a
minimum of 16Amps. We strongly recommend that a good quality mains cable
be used throughout your system. Look for a cable with good conductors, for
example oxygen free copper, this cable should also possess a high degree of
shielding from RFI.
