Audes, a company from Estonia, has introduced three new products designed to enhance the power going to audio devices, resulting in better sound quality. The recent High End audio fair in Munich showcased the DT-500DC and DT-3600DC Power Conditioners, along with the new Power Strip PS-8DC.
Audes ST-500DC: clean power for four devices
The ST-500DC is a welcome addition to the bottom of the range. As the name suggests, this can supply 500 Watts and has four 230 Volt sockets. The ST-500DC is equipped with a DC Blocker as standard. Price 1,495 euros

Audes DT-3600DC: clean power for twelve devices
The DT-3600DC is Audes’ flagship and one of the very best Power Conditioners worldwide regardless of price. The “D” in the type designation of the DT-3600DC stands for “double” and indicates that this concerns two transformers instead of one as with the ST models. (Single Transformer). The DT-3600 only has a 5,000 Watt transformer for the power section and a 500 Watt transformer for peripherals. This is to prevent interference signals from, for example, switching power supplies from influencing the power section.
The 5,000 Watt transformer is limited to 3,300 Watts and the 500 Watt transformer to 300 Watts, so that the total power is 3,600 Watts. The DT-3600DC is also equipped with illuminated Volt and Ampere meters, but this lighting can be switched off. The DC Blocker can also be disabled. Price 9,990 euros
