LoRad Mk1 Screened Mains Flex, Patented
1.5 and 2.5 mm² conductor diameters, highly flexible, specification
05VA7V-H 3G2.5.
LoRad stands for Low Radiation of electric and magnetic alternating
fields. Protects your equipment from radiated mains noise as well
as from RF pick-up. The screen protects from the electric field
and a short pitch twisting protects from and cancels the magnetic
fields. This will typically result in a cleaner sound and more accurate
transients, which in turn give you a tighter bass, better 3-D presence
and stereo definition.
Closer to the truth.

Tips and Tricks:
A simple way to check the cable radiation is to use an AC field sensor.
Hold the AC sensor against a cable and if it lights up it means the cable is radiating
noise fields. Of course, the cable must be connected to the wall socket that is
switched on. Check LoRad in the same way and you will find that it does not indicate
any noise radiation.
| BEFORE, using normal unshielded mains cable |
AFTER, using LoRad shielded mains cable |

Do you see the difference? - the unshielded cable makes the detector glow RED,
while the LoRad shielded cable radiates no interference at all.........!
Carry out your own test!
Hold an AC-sensor against a cable and if it lights up, the cable is radiating
noise fields. Of course, the cable must be connected to the wall socket that is
switched on.
Check LoRad in the same way and you will find that it does not indicate any noise
radiation. The Supra AC sensor is normally available at any Supra dealer.
Supra AC Sensor Pen
The pen lights up in proximity to an electric alternating field.
Available for 230V (EU) and 110V (US).
AC sensors are available at Supra dealers or electrical
stores. |
