The goal is a quiet, stable power base \nfor AV components, allowing for a setup that can better fulfill \nits potential.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompact Addition for Existing \nST Setups\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs a small power conditioner, the ST-200 \ncomplements larger models in the ST series, providing additional devices with separately \nisolated power – without the effort or cost of upgrading to a \nlarger unit. It is suitable for components such as streamers, CD players, \nturntables, TVs, small digital amplifiers, and other devices, as long as the \ntotal load does not exceed 200 W or 200 V·A.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeparate \nSupply for SMPS Devices\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn its role as an auxiliary device, \nthe ST-200 offers a secondary transformer option for devices with \nswitched-mode power supplies (SMPS). SMPS can, under certain circumstances, negatively \nimpact sound quality, especially when such devices are connected to the same transformer as \nclassic analog components – potential electrical \ndistortions can become audible. The ST-200 provides a dedicated, \nisolated power source for this purpose, so that connected devices remain completely \nseparated from the devices on the main power conditioner.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eToroidal Transformer as the Core of Isolation \nand Filtering\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt its heart is a custom-made toroidal transformer (230 VAC \/ 230 VAC) developed by Audes. \nIt ensures galvanic isolation from the mains power supply and filters out mains interference via \ncontrolled stray inductance and capacitance to effectively suppress \nintroduced interference components.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProtection Concept for Safe \nOperation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe ST-200 is protected against overcurrent by a fuse: \nIn case of overcurrent, the fuse trips and must be replaced before further \nuse. Additionally, thermal protection is integrated: at 90 \n°C, the transformer switches off and automatically reconnects to the mains \nafter cooling down to 75 °C.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePractical \nHandling in Everyday Use\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe design minimizes electromagnetic \nradiation, yet it is recommended not to place the ST-200 near turntables \nor phono preamplifiers. When connecting, the \nsocket orientation is not critical, as the outputs are galvanically \nisolated from the neutral conductor; for consistent results, a uniform orientation \nof all connected devices is recommended.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded \nPower Cable and Cable Recommendation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach ST-200 comes with a \nstandard power cable. For further performance improvement, combining it with the \nAudes Power Cable C13 is recommended.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Audes","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":54748618228053,"sku":"59467","price":1000.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0995\/9715\/6693\/files\/IMG59467_166073.jpg?v=1787666501","url":"https:\/\/fidelity-hh.de\/en\/products\/st-200","provider":"Fidelity","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
