Housed in an extruded aluminium chassis, Sirius is a sturdy, durable power bar that can easily be wall-mounted behind audio systems or placed discreetly behind audio racks. A special wall bracket system is supplied, along with IsoTek's multi-award-winning EVO3 Premier power cable.

The V5 Sirius harnesses IsoTek's latest mains power cleaning technology, which both protects and improves your system's performance, according to the company. Its compact and elegant design measures 555mm long, 88mm wide, and just 55mm high. It features six independent outlets, each one referencing back to the central PCB, "to dramatically reduce Differential Mode cross-contamination of connected components". IsoTek adds that most power filters of this style join output sockets together, running each in series. "A filter's effectiveness suffers under this design as Differential Mode Noise created by your connected electronics will cross-contaminate from one output socket to the next". V5 Sirius' electrical architecture and design are said to avoid this, "rendering a wider, more clearly-defined stereo image".

The V5 Sirius features a unique high-grade and high-amperage choke system combined with high-frequency delta filters "to ensure class-leading power cleaning of both Common Mode and Differential Mode mains noise across a wide frequency range". This is combined with IsoTek's unique Inductive Resonance Gate, which further optimises the isolation between each of the six output sockets, adds the company. "Clean power is then delivered to all six output sockets – each one independently isolated to prevent cross-contamination of mains noise. Meanwhile, KERP (Kirchoff's Equal Resistance Path) ensures equal resistance and equal power delivery to all outlets.

The internal wiring is unique to Sirius, composed of pure 6n oxygen-free copper conductor strands with silver plating, offering low resistance and high amperage. An FEP dielectric is then used to protect the conductors, offering the ultimate low-resistance power delivery system. Furthermore, a 54,000A instantaneous yet transient protection system is said to "enhance sound quality as well as protecting precious audio components from dangerous power surges and voltage spikes". This unique safeguarding system features IsoTek's sequential cascading VDR
protection method, which it says "offers superior safety without dynamic audio or sound restrictions". 

Available in black or silver finishes, the IsoTek V5 Sirius is available now at £995.
