AUDIENCE - adeptResponse aR12 POWER CONDITIONER

Audience adeptResponse aR12 and aR12-T Conditions and Protects Any System, Large or Small!

The aR12 has Won Awards and Hearts the World Over For Dramatically Enhancing Audio System Performance! 

The adeptResponse aR12 Power Line Conditioners from Audience have been getting accolades from around the world. The build quality is first class with absolutely no current limitations. The cutting-edge design provides the best AC conditioning possible without limiting dynamics. Adept Response uses nothing but the finest conducting, filtering and transient suppression components (starting with their renown “auricaps”), while performing power factor correction. This helps restore natural dynamics by bringing the AC voltage and current into a better phase relationship allowing a more efficient transfer of power. Each of the 12 outlets is individually filtered and double filtered from every other outlet providing maximum component to component isolation. An enormous entire system can easily be powered by one conditioner, including all of your digital components, analog devices and power amps. In fact, power amplifiers plugged into the adeptResponse display increased dynamics and sound even more powerful! 

“This is a remarkable product. And, in my experience, audibly superior to every other ‘conditioner’ I have tried. The Audience lets you hear more ambient information, more definition and articulation of the musical images!”
- Harry Pearson, Founder, The Absolute Sound, Golden Ear Award, July 2008

“I thought that my audio system sounded great to start with, but what I didn't expect the adeptResponse to do was to provide the level of improvement that it did, or for that improvement to be so profound. I've used a wide variety of power-conditioning systems over the years—but none has ever produced the type or magnitude of benefits I got with the adeptResponse. The adeptResponse is something very special. I heartily recommend it, but be forewarned—it will change your expectations. Once you've heard what it can do for your system, there's no turning back!”
- Brian Damkroger, Stereophile, April 2007

The adeptResponse aR12-T version adds 12 extremely expensive and highly renown Aura-T Ultra High-Resolution Capacitors exclusively in the Filter Section of each outlet

• Main power cord included: Standard 6 ft. 10 AWG powerChord by Audience with Neutrik 20A PowerCon® and Marinco power connectors  
• Low resistance, heavy duty magnetic circuit breaker power switch
• No high resistance type series inductors
• Ultra-high efficiency filter components on every outlet
• All hand wired; no printed circuit boards
• Double filtering between outlets for maximum component to component isolation  Dynamic range performance maximized by partial power factor correction
• Entire audio and/or video system can be powered by a single Adept Response power conditioner
• Audience Auricap high resolution or Aura-T ultra high resolution capacitors used exclusively in filter sections
• Digital incoming voltage readout on front panel
• Entire electrical circuitry cryogenically treated

Realize the Full Potential of Power:
The Adept Response will elevate the performance of your audio/video system to new heights like no other power conditioner. In addition to superior power protection, the Adept Response delivers the ultimate audio/video experience.

The Adept Response High Resolution Power Conditioner is a cutting edge design providing the best power conditioning possible without limiting dynamics. Since power must respond quickly and completely to the demands of program material we believe it is imperative that power conditioning components present a low impedance power path while providing wide bandwidth noise reduction. Conventional power conditioners simply cannot approach the bandwidth/impedance characteristics of the Adept Response while still offering effective noise filtration and high voltage surge protection. Exclusive Audience technology achieves far greater performance for all audio and video components. 

Of the power conditioning products on the market today few allow your playback system to attain full dynamic range or reproduce subtle dynamic contrasts accurately. The other culprit afflicting most power conditioning products is the ubiquitous MOV. (Metal Oxide Varistor) The MOV is a sacrificial device. This means it wears down over time until it fails completely. Its purpose is to clamp high voltage transients safely to ground instead of through your equipment. This would be fine if it didn’t break down and behave like the world's worst capacitor across your power line, storing energy and releasing it as performance robbing, time delayed distortion into your audio system. The effect is quite audible. For surge protection the Adept Response employs a non-wearing type high voltage transient suppression.

Adept Response uses only the finest conducting, filtering and transient suppression components. Even the power switch is exceptional, a very high quality magnetic circuit breaker. The advantage over thermal circuit breakers is that thermal breakers increase in resistance as power demand increases, causing heat dependent, resistive modulation of the incoming voltage. This effectively reduces the power available to your equipment just when you need it most. The design employed in the Adept Response provides for the most natural flow of music.

The state of the art inductive components used in the Adept Response power conditioner add no significant series resistance. This maintains a low impedance power path to your playback system. Also, the Adept Response performs partial power factor correction. This helps restore natural dynamics by bringing the AC voltage and current into a better phase relationship allowing a more efficient transfer of power. With the Adept Response as your power conditioner all aspects of the audio/video performance are greatly improved. Your playback system will no longer be starved of clean high quality power. The result is realistic, beautiful audio and stunning video resolution.

Each of the 12 outlets is individually filtered and double filtered from every other outlet providing maximum component to component isolation. An entire audio or video system can easily be powered by the same conditioner, including everything from digital components and phonograph preamplifiers to power amplifiers. This extensive noise filtering creates a lower noise floor and improves low level resolution, providing superior sound stage presentation. Power amplifiers plugged into the Adept Response display increased dynamics and perform as if they were more powerful.
