Atlas Cables Eos Modular 2.5em

Flexible High Performance Power Block.

We live in an electrically noisy soup, permeated by all manner of potential interference. The ‘household’ mains distribution blocks and extensions often used for audio/AV systems can actually contribute to performance degradation, offering little in the way of shielding, and typically incorporating noisy neon power indicators, fuse holders and low-grade wiring/bus-bars – all points of weakness.

At Atlas, such issues have been a core consideration for several years, culminating in the introduction of our latest Eos ‘em’ power cables and distribution blocks. The Eos Modular 2.5em is a robust, no-nonsense screened power extension block designed and built to deliver unimpeded power to audio system components.

The Eos Modular 2.5em block is housed in an elegant aluminium chassis, internally wired with the same 2.5mm² OFC conductors used in our Eos 2.5em power cable. As always, this consistency of elements is highly desirable, minimising material ‘barriers’ which are themselves potential points of weakness.

Each individual socket is optimised for low contact resistance ensuring unimpeded power transmission between sockets. An integrated direct ground drain path* for cables in our Grun Coherent Earth system reduces the system noise floor still further, typically removing the digital ‘glare’ which is a typical symptom of RFI/EMI noise degrading the audio signal.

‘Outrigger’ legs with rubber studs or conical spikes provide mechanical isolation or coupling, or optionally allow wall mounting.

The Eos Modular 2.5em block performs superbly as part of a complete Eos Power Management System, in which the most important cable is the one between mains socket and distribution block. Use an Eos 2.5em for the block and Eos 1.5em cables for other components.

* NB. The captive ground binding post should only be used to terminate Atlas Grun cables (please note this is not a safety earth and must never be used as such).
