iFi AUDIO GND Defender

What sets the GND Defender apart is its innovative technology designed to optimize your audio system's performance by intelligently detecting and eliminating ground loops. Ground loops often occur when a system has multiple grounds, resulting in an unwanted low-frequency hum emitted from the speakers. The GND Defender, when placed at the IEC power input, can intelligently detect these ground loops and remove them at the component level, ensuring a clean, hum-free audio experience.

Unlike other solutions that compromise either safety, EMI shielding, or both, the GND Defender retains EMI shielding and ensures equipment safety. It's not a ground lift, so it maintains the equipment's safety ground. This makes it a versatile solution, suitable for use in any country, not just the US.

The GND Defender is more than just a ground lift; it's a smart device that breaks DC ground loops to eliminate ground loop hum. If multiple ground loops exist, you may need more than one GND Defender, but remember, it's always best practice to keep at least one direct power cable connection.

The GND Defender is built to last, with a high-performance glass passivated semiconductor and a high case dielectric strength of 1500VRMS UL Listed. It also features an X7R Capacitor for high-temperature stability, a flame-resistant IEC socket/connector/chassis, and fireproof polymers UL94-V0 for added safety.

With a surge overload rating of 220A and a maximum rating of >10A, the GND Defender can handle continuous currents of 7A and all voltages around the world from 90-240V. It's designed to intelligently block DC voltages from the mains to eliminate transformer hum, ensuring your equipment's safety and retaining EMI shielding.

In summary, the GND Defender is a cutting-edge solution for eliminating ground loops, ensuring the best audio experience while maintaining the safety and integrity of your equipment.
