Isol-8 Release
the essence
of your
music.

Welcome to Isol-8.
World Leaders in Performance Power Conditioning.

Designed and manufactured  in the UK, we supply the finest power conditioning and distribution equipment for hi-fi and audio visual systems. If you are looking for power management, a simple performance lift or you are chasing the state-of-the-art, we can provide the best solution for you.

Why so many products? How to choose.

There is no "one size fits all" solution when it comes to effective power conditioning. We know this through many years of development and hard won experience.

We offer a range of products so you can benefit from the optimum solution for your system. A good rule of thumb is to spend 10% of your system cost to optimise your power supply. Contact us or your local dealer for friendly, no obligation advice.

Why Condition Your Mains Supply?

The purpose of any high fidelity system is to take you as close as possible to the original performance.  We strive to reduce the compromises involved and get closer to the emotion, closer to the music.

Each component in our system is an imperfect link in a chain, transforming the energy it receives from one form to another and eventually on to us.

The most fundamental, most overlooked link in the chain is the power supply, the source of our systems energy. We plug into the wall, the device works and we take it for granted. Mains power is in fact the start of the chain, the very foundation on which the music is built and is worthy of greater scrutiny.

Our products are divided into three categories, click on an image to find out more:

History

Nic's background was originally in broadcast engineering. He trained and worked for the BBC as a sound engineer in the eighties. The corporation's legendary high standards made a deep impression on him. He learned that the way to achieve true quality is to strive for excellence in every area and accept nothing less.

After leaving the BBC in the early nineties to further develop his passion for audio, Nic had become an established electronics designer with success in both audio amplification, with ISOL-8's sister company Trilogy Audio Systems, and also in the challenging field of international airport runway lighting systems. He then formed IsoTek Systems after identifying the need to tackle the problems of compromised power supply in Hi-Fi and AV systems. An area he believed was being misunderstood and neglected by mainstream manufacturers. ISOL-8 was then founded to continue developing Nic’s ideas.

Nic pioneered the use of multiple filter sections to tackle noise cross contamination between audio components. He also has championed the use of DC blocking to further improve sound quality. The use of Transmodal filter technology which blocks common and differential mode noise without shunting the noise to ground is, we believe, unique to ISOL-8 in audio and AV applications.

ISOL-8 has shaken off the negative image previously attached to power conditioning.  In the past many poor designs, and the optimistic performance claims made for them, have meant that many people have closed their minds to the idea that there are substantial performance gains to be found. Nic's innovative and no compromise approach has solved many of the performance shortfalls caused by compromised mains power. The company has gradually gathered a steadfast following amongst those willing to open their ears, and now produce a wide range of reliable, practical solutions tailored to suit different applications across audio and AV.

Nic is a keen audiophile, and indeed founder of our sister company Trilogy Audio Systems. He has the skills to innovate and deliver exceptional products. Above all having the passion to push forward the standards of reproduced sound. This passion is what makes ISOL-8 the leading force in power conditioning.
