Some of our unique design aspects include:<\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>A two-stage voltage regulation design consisting of a very low noise, open-loop design discrete transistor\u00a0class-A driver pre-regulator first stage and a close-loop feedback regulator second stage. The first stage\u00a0filters the bulk of the noise and takes away the heat from the second stage voltage regulator. The two-stage regulation design as a \u201cgate\u201d to prevent the downstream noise from traversing back to the AC\u00a0power mains. It eliminates all types of noise downstream to your equipment and prevents pollution\u00a0upstream to the AC mains. We would like to call this method as the brawn and the brain method. The pre-regulation stage (the brawn) handles most of these issues and isolate the actual regulator stage (the\u00a0brain) from these ill artefacts. Free of these influences, the actual voltage regulator will be able to perform\u00a0optimally in terms of noise, slew rate and output impedance, under all rated load conditions.<\/li>\r\n<li>For the Elite balanced DC power supply, we further improved their performance with a Balanced design.\u00a0With this design, there are no signal ground noise injection by rectifier diodes and elimination of ground\u00a0loop problems. Also switching noise contributions from AC-DC rectification diodes are also reduced by\u00a0half, compared to conventional design. The downside is the customised transformer will need to be\u00a0doubled in size compared to a conventional design size to deliver the same power. The weight and size of\u00a0the linear power supply will increase. We feel the benefits more than outweigh the issues involved.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\n\t\t\n<style>\n#text-1230162703 {\n  text-align: left;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n<\/div>\n\t<div id=\"gap-1762255641\" class=\"gap-element clearfix\" style=\"display:block; height:auto;\">\n\t\t\n<style>\n#gap-1762255641 {\n  padding-top: 50px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"text-2445633257\" class=\"text\">\n\t\t\n\n<h3>Designed To Provide Excellent Noise Specs and Safety.<\/h3>\n\t\t\n<style>\n#text-2445633257 {\n  text-align: center;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_949890700\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" >\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"373\" src=\"https:\/\/staging.audiokafe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/diagram-bdc.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.audiokafe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/diagram-bdc.webp 1000w, https:\/\/staging.audiokafe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/diagram-bdc-300x112.webp 300w, https:\/\/staging.audiokafe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/diagram-bdc-768x286.webp 768w, https:\/\/staging.audiokafe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/diagram-bdc-600x224.webp 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_949890700 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"text-2412730017\" class=\"text\">\n\t\t\n\nFig 7A.
