Upgrade Audiophile Duplex AC Wall Outlet

Step up to Pangea Audio’s middle-grade AC wall outlet for that extra audiophile edge with your gear. Pangea Premier SE AC Power Outlet Receptacle is an upgrade duplex AC wall outlet that leaves standard outlets in the dust. It is the perfect addition to your other electronic gear.

Premier SE was specifically designed to deliver the best possible performance from all your AV components. You’ve invested in high-quality hi-fi and home theater gear. Your networking gear is top-notch, and you invested in upgrade AC power cables.

So why limit the performance of your system by plugging your components into cheap, ‘hardware store’ duplex wall outlets? It’s easy and affordable to replace a cheap wall outlet with a high-quality Pangea Premier SE AC power outlet.

Say Goodbye to Poor Design and Cheap Parts

“The trouble with the most common outlets in most homes is poor design and cheap parts,” explains Pangea Audio Design Engineer, Jay Victor. “They are made from a cheap plastic that’s a poor insulator and from thin, low-grade metals. Hold one of these outlets in your hand. They’re flimsy. I designed the new Pangea Audio outlets from the ground up [pun intended!] to be superior in every way to standard outlets to make sure you get the best performance possible from your sensitive electronics.”

An ‘Overkill’ Outlet Insulator

“Another problem with standard AC wall receptacles is that they use cheap nylon as an insulator in the outlets,” Jay explains. “From my years developing components for X-Ray equipment, I knew of an advanced polymer that has a much lower dielectric constant, making it a far better insulator. It also has a much higher voltage standoff. In fact, I’ve used it in X-Ray cable connectors that had to handle 250,000 volts.”

“Sure, 250,000-volt standoff capability may sound like overkill,” Jay admits. “But audiophiles would demand nothing but the best when it comes to supplying power to their sensitive audio gear. So that’s what I decided to use.”

Firmly Gripping Gold-plated Phosphor Bronze Contacts

Another pet peeve that Jay has with standard AC outlets is that “almost all manufacturers use cheap thin brass for their AC contacts. Only a select few of those are even nickel-plated to prevent corrosion in wet environments. This isn’t really an improvement. I believe that nickel plating is detrimental to performance.”

For Pangea’s middle-grade Premier SE AC receptacle, Jay used extra-thick contacts made of specially treated gold-plated phosphor bronze. “These contacts firmly grip male AC plug prongs without letting go,” said Jay.

Premier SE features a distinctive translucent blue outlet cover. “The transparent face lets you look inside and see the impressive gripping strength of the gold-plated contacts, ” Jay explained. “As you can see, we have nothing to hide.”

Versatile 15-Amp/20-Amp Design

“It’s a 20-amp outlet design, Jay continued. “Overkill, again, in some cases, I admit – but the outlet works perfectly with either 15-amp or 20-amp AC plugs. So Premier provides that extra versatility, too.”

Receptacle Mounting Bracket

“Speaking of pet peeves,” Jay continued. “Take a look at the flimsy mounting bracket most outlets feature to bolt the outlet to the wall box. I couldn’t bear to have any of my outlets insecure, so I included a very thick metal mounting bracket instead. Nothing’s going to shake this outlet loose from the wall,” Jay told us, “except maybe an earthquake.”
