Overview

The Solus is our one of our entry level 6-way filters which has the option of upgrade to the more sophisticated Mini Sub. The Solus was designed to be a very rewarding single box ‘plug-n-play’ solution for a complete audio or home theatre system. Using our advanced ‘Polaris-X’ technology the Solus is able to draw mains contaminants away from audio components plugged into the unit.
All components featured in the Solus are of the highest grade and are under stressed, this gives greater longevity, which are then hand soldered onto the PCB with silver solder.

Safety

In the interest of safety the unit should be placed upon its own dedicated shelf on an audio grade equipment rack. The unit may be placed on top of or under other pieces of equipment, do not exceed a maximum weight loading of 20kg.
Do not place the Solus in areas where the temperature is likely to exceed 25 degrees. For example, close proximity to ‘tube’ amplifiers.
If you have to locate the unit on the floor we strongly recommend you do not place the unit near heat sources, such as radiators or air ducts. Good air circulation is essential to prevent heat build up within the chassis. Do not place the Solus on a soft surface, for example a rug or carpet, which could block the ventilation intakes on the underside of the unit. Do not let any liquids spill onto or objects fall into the chassis. Should either of these events happen, immediately switch off the unit at the wall socket, wait for at least one minute, unplug all other cables and return it to your authorised IsoTek dealer for a full service.

Placement

Ideally the unit should be placed upon its own dedicated shelf of an audio grade equipment rack. If this is not possible the unit may be placed on top of or under other pieces of equipment to a maximum weight limit of 20kg. Due to the products careful screening by way of a large ground plane within the unit, no adverse effects should be caused by this placement. If you have to locate the unit on the floor or in any other location please refer to the safety section of this manual.

Equipment coupling

Once the Solus is safely positioned connect the unit to a mains wall socket, we recommend that a good quality cable is used and that the wall socket is also unswitched. Turn off all equipment you wish to have a clean mains supply, unplug the cables relating to these from the wall socket or redundant distribution block you may have been using and plug these into the rear sockets of the Solus. All of the Soluss Outputs are the same high power rating and can be used for all devices. This is subject to the total power consumption being less than 2.4kw.

System integration

We strongly recommend that a good quality mains cable is used and this cable is consistent throughout your system. Look for a cable with good conductors, for example oxygen free copper, this cable should also have a high degree of shielding from RFI.
