The Power of Silence

 

AMR’s Trickle-Down Technology. 

Our Journey to SilentPower began two decades ago at AMR, our prestigious sister company, famed for their ultra high-end audio equipment. Here, we pioneered several advanced technologies, including AMR’s OptiMains, designed to isolate the power supply from grid noise and DC offset while intelligently adjusting to variations in mains power. This was also the birthplace of the world’s first multi-loop noise elimination technology, which drew inspiration from military radar cancellation techniques to create a patented ANC technology. 

This trickle-down technology from AMR is found in most of our SilentPower products, including the iPower series, iPurifier series, Active power cables, and more.

 

An Ideal, Made Real.

When AMR's expansion gave birth to the iFi audio brand, we sought to take the musicality and refinement once only enjoyed by a privileged few to a new audience. With renewed vigour we embarked on a quest for high-quality power supplies with low noise, equivalent to that of a battery, to pair with our new range of DACs.  Despite exploring many options, we consistently found products that fell short of our rigorous standards whilst still reaching excessive price points. So, we developed our own solutions, incorporating the pioneering noise elimination technology that was first conceived at AMR; and SilentPower was born.

Once one product had been created, we opened a floodgate for research and development, finding unique and innovative ways to improve a system and building a product catalogue for every common Hi-Fi problem we could find.

 

We Understand Why Your Hi-Fi Sounds Dull. 

Through our extensive research over the years, we found that, due to noise interference found in either the power chain or the signal chain, many audiophiles feel their Hi-Fi systems sound dull and lifeless, almost as if the dynamics are compressed and there is a barrier between the music and the listener. This can be frustrating for listeners, as it can be difficult to understand and identify where the problem originates and how to address it, even when it can be clearly heard.

For example, in a typical computer audio system (CAS) setup, the USB cable carries both power and data, making it vulnerable to electrical noise, especially from the computer's power supply as it is not optimised for audio. This noise can degrade sound quality, causing jitters, errors, and data loss, resulting in audible distortion and artificial, harsh, and dull sound.

Our iSilencer+ USB filter is engineered to eliminate electrical noise, targeting both EMI and RFI interference. When plugged into a USB port outputting to a DAC, the iSilencer+ ensures music is restored to its intended quality, providing a listening experience with clearer, warmer, and more transparent sound, as well as enhanced bass. This is the essence of SilentPower: providing elegant, user-friendly solutions to noise issues wherever they are found.

 

Introducing ‘SilentPower’ the Brand.  

As the SilentPower range grew, the demand for signal enhancement technology continued to increase, with a rapidly developing interest in the applications of this technology outside of the audio industry. With these objectives in mind, we are proud to launch SilentPower as its own brand. Our mission is to continue developing the technology of audio signal enhancement and providing innovative solutions for eliminating unwanted noise in audio systems, while also committing to finding exciting new applications in other industries through pioneering research and development.

 

With great power comes great responsibility. 
With SilentPower comes great sound quality.
