Ansuz D2 PowerBox
Breathtaking musical precision
The Ansuz PowerBox D2 is heavily equipped with Ansuz active Tesla coil technology and dither technology. This combination of audio technologies teases out the full sound potential of your audio system. The resulting sound is even more refined, more spacious and truly amazing.
Technologies and Components
Delivering clean low voltage.
The Ansuz PowerBox is developed with the aim of delivering clean low voltage to the cables and speakers. This is overall solved by reducing the noise heavily and controlling the resonances. Various Ansuz technologies and principles are used in order to deliver a huge soundstage with openness musicality and details. The recurring technologies are securing that almost no noise is transferred from the PowerBox to the cables and speakers.
Natural-based composite cabinet material
The cabinet design is an important Ansuz characteristic and is designed to eliminate sonic distortion. The disturbing sonic influence, which emanates from the material the cabinet is made of – mostly aluminium – comes from its mechanical resonance. To eliminate this sonic distortion, the challenge is to minimize the use of aluminium in the cabinet. Ansuz’s sister company Aavik began testing various materials and designed an innovative natural-based composite material, which reduces the mechanical influence, particularly the hysteresis. The sonic result is distinctly audible and reflects a further prominent cornerstone in Ansuz’s quest for the ultimate music experience.
The Tesla coil principle
The key operating principle of the Ansuz Tesla coil is to have two coils wound in opposite directions – one coil and one counter coil. In Ansuz words, this is called “A double inverted coil”. The two coils both carry voltage, and when one of the Tesla coils encounters a voltage spike, a counter spike is activated to eliminate the noise. Since noise spikes are pure voltage carrying virtually no charge, the cancelation is quite good, but not perfect. Adding more Tesla coils in parallel, increases the noise cancellation and the perceived blackness in the music increases significantly along with the purity and clarity of the sound. Ansuz uses various types of Tesla coils, as their individual properties ideally complement and reinforce each other.
Active square Tesla coil
Embedded efficiency.
The active square Tesla coils are embedded in our printed circuit boards – a coil on the top and the counter coil on the back. The principle is exactly the same as the active Tesla coil and thus has a greater ability to eliminate noise than the passive Tesla coils.
Active cable Tesla coil
Active anti aerial protection.
The active cable Tesla coil is wound directly on the outer part of the cable and protects the signal from absorbing the airborne RF noise. This noise is absorbed in the Tesla coil. The active version is about three to four times more efficient than the Passive cable Tesla coil.
Analog Dither technology
Musical information from the depth.
Analog dither technology originated in radar, where it ensured a stronger signal and thus greater range. Ansuz adopted this technology. Their active Tesla coils send pulsating signals at precisely defined frequencies. These signals are sent in anti-phase. This significantly amplifies the musical signal and eliminates the background noise floor.
Passive cable Tesla coils
Airborne noise elimination.
The passive cable Tesla coil is wound around the outer part of the cable and protects the cable from absorbing disturbing airborne RF noise. This noise is absorbed in the Tesla coil and eliminated in the counter coil. When voltage flows through the cable’s conductor, which is wound in the opposite direction, it operates as this counter coil, which eliminates the RF noise.
Ansuz T2S Darkz
A truly impeccable sound
The Darkz T2 Supreme are made from titanium, which has excellent material properties that allow a perfect resonance control. Furthermore, the Darkz discs are following an elaborate process where the titanium is further refined with the exclusive Ansuz Supreme coating, which provides the music with a truly impeccable sound quality.
Technologies and Components
Natural and authentic sound.
Ansuz Darkz resonance control devices absorb vibrations that are not directly related to the signal path. The absorption results in an audible vibration feedback, which affects the sound quality. It is the natural and authentic sound that Ansuz Darkz devices are designed to preserve. There is no alteration of the authentic sound reproduction which, when using conventional grounding materials, often make the sound unnaturally cold and harsh.
Surface treatment
Supreme composition.
The Darkz discs are further acoustically optimized by applying the Ansuz Supreme coating on each disc. This coating is applied to the discs in Hi-PIMS (High Power Impulse Magnetron Sputtering) machine to create the finest and most uniform layer of Zirconium and tungsten followed by a layer consisting of aluminium titanium nitride.
Interlayer balls, Titanium
As the interlayer balls are an extremely important part of the resonance control elements, these are in Titanium. Titanium is an excellent material in terms of preserving the natural sound.
Design philosophy – Darkz
When defining the exact set-up and the dimensions of the Darkz, Ansuz Acoustics was exclusively guided by its core philosophy to always strive for the ultimate in sound quality. The Ansuz Darkz consists of 3 discs. Each of the upper two discs floats on 3 interlayer balls to ensure excellent handling and absorption of vibrations.
Ansuz Sortz Signature
Outstanding musical refinement
The Sortz Signature USB model is the premium quality version.It is fitted with all the technology elements that is ensuring the high efficiency of the Ansuz Sortz products and furthermore the models housing features the exclusive acoustically optimized Signature coating to ensure the best musical performance.
Technologies and Components
Effective audible noise reduction.
Ansuz Sortz is a termination plug for open input and output sockets. This innovative audio product is designed to audibly reduce disturbing noise that infiltrates any audio component through the open input and output sockets or through the ground connection. The Sortz feature Ansuz’s spearheading technologies that ensure effective grounding. Ansuz Sortz have incorporated two critical noise reduction technologies: the Tesla coil technology which reduces the ability of any audio component to pick up disturbing noise, and the anti-aerial resonance coil technology, which significantly reduces actual noise levels.
The Tesla coil principle
The key operating principle of the Ansuz Tesla coil is to have two coils wound in opposite directions – one coil and one counter coil. In Ansuz words, this is called “A double inverted coil”. The two coils both carry voltage, and when one of the Tesla coils encounters a voltage spike, a counter spike is activated to eliminate the noise. Since noise spikes are pure voltage carrying virtually no charge, the cancelation is quite good, but not perfect. Adding more Tesla coils in parallel, increases the noise cancellation and the perceived blackness in the music increases significantly along with the purity and clarity of the sound. Ansuz uses various types of Tesla coils, as their individual properties ideally complement and reinforce each other.
Anti aerial resonance coil technology
Prevents airborne noise.
All cables and cable screens are acting like antennas for airborne RF noise which of course is a huge problem. The passive cable Tesla coil is wounded on the external part of the cable and protects the signal from absorbing the airborne RF noise. This noise is absorbed in the Tesla coil.
As there is a voltage running in the conductor itself, and it is wounded in the counter direction – this is used as the counter coil and the RF noise is then eliminated.
Ansuz Zirconium Bar
The Sortz features this advanced circuit with a zirconium rod and silver/gold-layered copper coils, previously exclusive to the D-TC Gold Signature series.
The material properties of this zirconium rod allow for unprecedented resonance control resulting in outstanding musical refinement that creates a natural soundstage, unrivalled in its purity, precision and attention to musical detail.
Cryogenic Treatment – Sortz
The Ansuz Sortz undergo a cryogenic treatment to increase their conductivity. When metal components undergo a cryogenic processing, they are subjected to extreme cooling temperatures of about -321°F (-196° C ). During this process, the crystal structure of the metal contracts more and more. Alloying elements are displaced from the grain structure of the metal, which now becomes very similar to a monocrystal. These structural changes in the metal have profound effects on its audio properties, resulting in a 6-8% increase in conductivity.
Surface treatment
Signature composition.
The surface is further acoustically optimized by applying the Ansuz Signature coating. This coating is applied to the surface in a Hi-PIMS (High Power Impulse Magnetron Sputtering) machine to create the finest and most uniform layer of Zirconium and tungsten followed by a layer consisting of aluminium titanium nitride. Finally, the discs are coated with a layer of zirconium.
Ansuz Sparkz TC3
Unlocking the full acoustic potential
The primary design goal of the Ansuz Sparkz TC3 was to create a product that enhances musical performance in the form of a huge soundstage presented on a dark background. The results in an even more authentic music experience. A 3rd generation of the Ansuz analog dither technology has been developed and applied in the Ansuz Sparkz TC3.
Technologies and Components
Outstanding musicality
Ansuz Sparkz is a noise cancellation plug for open mains sockets, mainly in power distributors. Mains power transmits disturbing noise that ‘bleeds’ into the other Hi-Fi components and impairs their ability to reproduce music with openness and fine detail on a wide soundstage. Ansuz Sparkz is equipped with Ansuz noise reduction technologies to deliver any music with more openness and speed, against an amazingly quiet background.
Connectors
Golden connection.
The connectors are made of gold-plated pure copper.
The Tesla coil principle
The key operating principle of the Ansuz Tesla coil is to have two coils wound in opposite directions – one coil and one counter coil. In Ansuz words, this is called “A double inverted coil”. The two coils both carry voltage, and when one of the Tesla coils encounters a voltage spike, a counter spike is activated to eliminate the noise. Since noise spikes are pure voltage carrying virtually no charge, the cancelation is quite good, but not perfect. Adding more Tesla coils in parallel, increases the noise cancellation and the perceived blackness in the music increases significantly along with the purity and clarity of the sound. Ansuz uses various types of Tesla coils, as their individual properties ideally complement and reinforce each other.
Ansuz active Tesla coil
The Ansuz Tesla coil technology is based on two coils wound in opposite directions; one is a regular spiral and the other is its mirrored counterpart. In Ansuz words, the combination of these parts as explained is called a “double-inverted coil”. Both these Tesla coils are voltage carriers, so when one of them encounters a voltage spike, the other activates a counter-surge to cancel the first peak and in effect suppress the noise. Since these noise spikes are pure voltage without a charge, the cancelation effect is quite strong.
Although the fundamentals of the Ansuz Tesla coil technology are the same for its passive and actively powered variants, the latter’s noise suppression efficiency is much greater. Most importantly, active and passive Tesla coils don’t exclude one another. It is the other way around. These devices mutually support each other to keep on lowering noise floor of a product they’re installed into.
Analog dither technology 3rd generation
Analog dither technology originates in radar, where it ensured a stronger signal and thus greater range. The active Tesla coils send pulsating signals at precisely defined frequencies. These signals are sent in anti-phase. This significantly amplifies the musical signal and eliminates the background noise floor.
Analysis, studies, and many hours of listening, have resulted in new options – and a lot of listening has resulted in this 3rd generation design which is a further optimization of the most effective frequencies which opens the soundscape even more and with the tiniest details when it comes to reproduction of the recordings.
Sparkz housing – POM
The housing is casted POM which is having remarkable electrical insulating properties. The Sparkz harmonizers are designed to fit beautifully in all power outlets as well as in the Ansuz Mainz8 power distributor.
Ansuz Mainz X3
Ansuz - not just another audio cable!
In Nordic mythology Ansuz is the rune associated with the Nordic god Odin which translates into “communication through the god of wind”. It tells a story about wisdom, clarity and truth, all capacities that underlines our audio cable philosophy of limiting negative effects to a degree where it is either removed or no longer hearable.
Every material used in audio resonates and imprints its own sonic footprint on the sound we hear – audio cables included. They are affected by interference from various sources such as airborne noise, disturbances from the mains and mechanically unstable surroundings, all of which significantly limit the performance.
Many of these issues are beyond our control and in most cases can’t be fully eliminated. However, in our quest to create the optimum sonic experience, we went to extreme and unorthodox methods to invent technologies that effectively bypass these issues to raise the sound quality to even higher standards.
Experimenting with different materials and their properties is mandatory on our road towards new discoveries and performance leaps. It involves thousands of attempts, of which most, unfortunately, are dead ends, but we firmly believe that this approach is worth the effort. The Ansuz 3. generation cables proofs that when we combine skills, experience, courage and hard work we are able to create small audible miracles.
Ansuz 3. Gen. cables
One of the most significant changes is that we no longer make us of aluminium in our cables. Aluminium is popular mainly because it is affordable and easy to work with. But due to its brittle and artificial tone as well as the hysteresis effects it causes, it is in no way a suitable material for audio equipment. That is probably why there aren’t any musical instruments made of aluminium…….
Stepping away from using one of the most cherished materials in the audio industry is a radical move, but when pursuing impeccable sound quality, it was necessary. Cables are often overlooked and considered unimportant, but we cannot stress enough that high-quality audio cables are essential for maintaining high-level resonance control as they are prone to micro-vibrations just as any other audio product. Aluminium reinforces these oscillations. So it was a question of either suppress them afterwards and effectively lower the noise floor in a signal carrier, or simply just not use a material that’s inherently sub-optimal for the task.
Replacing Aluminium
We went for the latter, meaning that all aluminium connector housings in our cables have been replaced with stainless steel, copper and titanium counterparts, applied respectively for our entry-level (X3 and P3), mid-tiered (A3, C3 and D3) and top-of-the-line (D-TC3, D-TC Supreme and D-TC Gold Signature) series. This change significantly improves the performance across the roster and marks the third generation of Ansuz cables.
In short, we have removed the causes, not just its symptoms.
Ansuz D-TC Supreme DC Linkz
Transfer clean power to ensure a huge and organic soundstage
To deliver clean power this Ansuz DC Linkz D-TC Supreme cable features two silver plated copper conductors. The refined power supplied from the Ansuz PowerBox enables the effective Ansuz active noise cancelling technologies built into the more advanced series of Ansuz cables. More specific, the D-TC2, D-TC supreme and Gold Signature series. The result is a much more refined authenticity which provides an amazing, more lifelike, holistic musical experience.
Technologies and Components
The Ansuz DC Linkz cables are developed with the aim of delivering clean power created in the Ansuz PowerBox to feed the more advanced series of Ansuz loudspeaker cables and loudspeakers, prepared for active operation. The DC Linkz is more focused on power rather than signal. This is done by using the same core materials as for the Ansuz cable series, which delivers a pure signal flow that unleashes the authentic sound originally intended by the master recording.
Twisted Cable
Qualified mechanical stability.
To ensure greater mechanical stability, Ansuz twists the cables.
Conductors
Carefully settled signal handling.
The conductors are made of shielded silver-plated copper.
