English Electric’s EE1 Network Noise Isolator Out Now
Promising to banish network noise, English Electric's EE1 sits between streaming components to reduce noise in AV systems.
English Electric (a Chord Company brand) has launched the EE1, a self-powered, "high-performance network noise isolator" designed to reduce noise by sitting discreetly between streaming system components and promises to improve both sound and image quality by "dramatically reducing unwanted noise".
We are told that the EE1's passive design converts unwanted noise into heat, allowing digital signals to pass unhindered.
English Electric states that, although digital signals are generally robust, they are often accompanied by a degree of noise, which is often generated by household devices on home networks. However, the EE1 improves things through galvanic and common mode noise reduction technologies that allow the transmission of the signals whilst significantly reducing other unwanted network noise.
The company suggests putting the EE1 to work between a data switch and a streamer/server, between a server and a streamer, or between a router and a data switch. The brand adds that further noise reduction can also be achieved by using additional devices, for example, between a router and a data switch, and between the switch and a streamer.
The English Electric EE1 is available now, priced at £250. For a limited time, a 0.75m C-Stream streaming cable (worth £61.88) will be included for free. International pricing has not been shared by the company.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
