In simple terms, Syncro is IsoTek’s most advanced mains cable – but it’s also so much more. The cable incorporates innovative electronics, housed in an anti-resonant aluminium case positioned part way down its length. This unique circuitry is designed to synchronise the mains supply in order to promote a perfectly symmetrical sine wave, delivering significant sonic improvements when used with any hi-fi separates system.

Syncro is not a mains conditioner or filter in the accepted sense. It can be used on its own to power a single hi-fi component, and will bring significant improvements if used in this way. However, it is primarily designed as a ‘pre-filter’ device – for best results, plug the Syncro into a wall socket and use it to power an IsoTek mains conditioning unit. Thus, Syncro takes the mains electricity supply and realigns its waveform, prior to filtration of contaminants (RFI/EMI etc.) by the conditioning unit, which then feeds each hi-fi component – thus improving the performance of every link in the audio chain.

The cable itself is identical to IsoTek’s top-of-the-line Extreme power cable. It features heavy-gauge, triple-screened, 20Amp oxygen-free copper conductors suitable for high-current demands, coupled to top-quality connectors at either end. Both the mains plug and the IEC connector are precision machined from high-purity copper, heavily plated in 24ct gold, deep cryogenically treated and then demagnetised. The main bodies are made of injection-moulded polycarbonate, for ease of handling, durability and long-term reliability, while the IEC plug’s precision injection-moulded front assembly ensures precise mating with power sockets.
