TORONTO, ON, CANADA (August 20, 2024) For almost two decades, Torus Power Inc. has emphasized to the systems integration industry the importance of clean, isolated power to the performance of high-end residential AV systems. At CEDIA Expo 2024, attendees can see the difference Torus Power’s isolation power transformers make at three different exhibits. 

At Booth #4121, Room #207, and Sound Room #9 Torus Power showcases its flagship RM series and AVR2 Elite toroidal isolation transformers. Not to be confused with power conditioners, these products decouple and electrically isolate AV components from the incoming power source to eliminate transients and improve audio quality by dramatically lowering the noise floor while adding better dynamics, imaging, and bass. Video is noticeably crisper with brighter colors, deeper blacks, better contrast, and a more captivating overall image. Connected components are protected from surges, spikes, and brownouts, ensuring systems continue to perform as intended despite fluctuating power conditions.

Torus Power Isolation Transformers Deliver Optimal Power and Protection for High-End AV Demos CEDIA Expo 2024

Large, high-end home theater installations and high-performance audio systems draw incredible amounts of electrical power. When that power is unstable, image and audio quality can suffer, leaving systems integrators frustrated and the customers dissatisfied. To prevent these inherent electrical-related issues from degrading AV performance, at CEDIA Expo 2024 Torus Power joins Quantum Media Systems in Room #207 and Indy Audio Labs in Sound Room #9 to demonstrate the performance benefits of integrated toroidal isolation transformers. 

Just inside the Denver Convention Center, CEDIA Expo attendees can get an initial demo of Torus Power’s flagship RM 20 isolation power transformer. Located in the lobby at street level, Sony integrates the RM 20 isolation power transformer to optimize the audio fidelity and video clarity of its premium ES (Elevated Standard) line of AV components. The request for Torus Power’s flagship isolation power transformer came after a group of Sony manufacturer reps experienced improved audio/video quality at a dealer event in Chicago earlier this summer.  

Torus Power utilizes two RM-100 BAL units in Quantum Media Systems’ demo of a 20-foot 4K DCI-compliant video wall. To ensure top-notch performance of high-end audio in home theater and two-channel applications, Indy Audio Labs leans on Torus Power’s AVR2 Elite 90 BAL unit. These solutions deliver clean, isolated power to the video wall and audio system, along with surge and lightning protection, and massive toroidal isolation to prevent voltage irregularities and distortion from degrading the performance and lifespan of the AV equipment. During the demo, attendees will see and hear the difference regulated, protected power can have on a home theater and listening experience. 

Torus Power Adds Whole-House Surge Suppressor to Power Isolation Lineup

Offering systems integrators even greater protection of electronic systems from unstable power, Torus Power debuts at CEDIA Expo 2024, Booth #4121, an advanced whole-house surge protector to its core line of power isolation transformers. Appointed by Armada Surge Protection as the exclusive distributor for North America for the custom integration channel, Torus Power is now stocking and shipping the Armada Series 2+ and Armada Series 3 surge protectors, for 120/240 volt and 120/208 volt installations, respectively. Robust and compact, these surge protectors attach directly to electrical circuit breaker panels, safeguarding electronic components throughout the entire home or business from power surges, including those caused by lightning. The devices feature patented Power Pressure technology, which enhances its resilience and durability, allowing it to remain connected to the network significantly longer than typical surge protectors.

Torus Spotlights Whole-House Power Isolation with RM Series and AVR ELITE Series 

Focused on protecting high-end AV systems from electronic harmonics are Torus Power’s power isolation transformers. Its RM Series and AVR ELITE Series will be displayed prominently at CEDIA Expo 2024, Booth #4121, including wall- and rack-mount configurations, affording installation and performance flexibility. 

Great for luxury home theater and high-end home audio systems, the Torus Power RM Series models remain unparalleled industry-wide for performance, protection, and value. Feature-rich, technologically advanced, and with models ranging from 7 Amps to 200 Amps, RM Series safeguards and optimizes the performance of AV systems via toroidal isolation, noise filtering, high instantaneous current capability, and lightning and surge protection.

The Torus Power AVR ELITE Series provides true isolation and protects connected equipment from the risk of power line surges using multiple input taps on the transformer to provide stable output voltage to keep equipment running in the optimal range of 120V (+/- 4V). Torus Power transformers with AVR technology operate within a wide range of input voltage from 90 – 135VAC, making the AVR series perfect for applications where high-end AV equipment is connected to variable incoming line voltages. 

Torus Power Offers Power Management Advice from Notable Industry Expert

The interest level and adoption of power management solutions is growing at a rapid pace. Torus Power is committed to helping systems integrators understand and master the intricacies of this complex yet increasingly important category. They encourage systems integrators to stop by Booth #4121 to get rock-solid advice from one of the most reputable power experts in the AV industry. Arthur Kelm, CEO of Ground One AV Inc., a consulting firm specializing in the power and grounding requirements of professional recording studios and high-end home installations, will be on hand to answer questions, offer advice, and provide direction to systems integrators eager to excel in power management. Instrumental to the development of Torus Power solutions, Kelm can discuss specifics about the power management product exhibited.
