What isotek smart power does

IsoTek Smart Power is a UK-founded specialty manufacturer of premium power conditioning, filtration, and distribution products for high-end audio, home cinema, and professional AV systems. Founded in 1989 in Winchester, England, and operated under Swiss parent Audio Power Operations AG, the company sells four core product lines: V5 series power conditioners (Titan, Sigmas, Corvus, Elektra, Sirius, Polaris, Aquarius), V5 Syncro Uni DC blockers, EVO3 power cables (ranging from entry-level Initium to flagship Ascension), and SMART Power programmable PDUs (Alpha, Delta, and Lite variants) with Control4 and Crestron integration for custom installers.

The company's technology rests on proprietary electrical engineering approaches: Syncro DC-cancelling electronics that rebalance the mains sine wave to eliminate transformer hum, K.E.R.P. (Kirchhoff's Electricity Rules Protocol) circuit design, multi-stage independent-outlet filtration, Virtual Air Dielectric construction, deep cryogenic conductor treatment, and Ohno Continuous Cast copper materials. SMART Power PDUs add RS232 and LAN control, secure web interfaces, and home automation integration.

IsoTek distributes globally in 50+ countries through authorized HiFi dealers, custom installers, and international distributors. Revenue derives from unit-priced hardware sales across consumer and professional price tiers, with cable pricing starting above EUR 100 and flagship conditioners reaching higher price points. The company is privately held, has no disclosed funding rounds or revenue figures, and has been led by Managing Director Keith Martin of Audio Power Operations AG.
