IXOS PowerStation Cleans Up Your Electricity
This attractive [ahem] slab of hardware is the designed to clean up your electricity in order to make the images of on your expensive HDTV look even more magnificent.
For a long time I never even knew that electricity could be dirty but the AV experts say it is and, IXOS, makers of the XHP420 PowerStation will clean it up again for you for £160. Allegedly, that’s good value in this segment.
Most electricity is going to be dirtied on the journey from a substation to your home by noise as well as under and over-voltages. These decrease your AV kit’s performance and can, over time, kill the power supplies because they have to work too hard dealing with surges.
The PowerStation cleans your power and offers surge protection while improving the TV’s sound and vision. It’s designed to be hidden behind the TV and also comes with mounts for wall-hanging.
Lastly, it will also protect your precious kit from lightning strikes which, the unlucky few can confirm, will just about fry all your kit in a heartbeat.-Martin Lynch
