Adcom ACE-615
Surge Suppressor/Line Enhancer

Suggested Retail Price $629.00

Until recently, surge protection for all applications including home entertainment and computer systems has been plagued by low endurance, unpredictable performance and safety problems. The new Adcom ACE-615, with patented ILS™ (If Lightning Strikes) technology, now offer a uniquely effective solution that has earned the U.S. Government's highest ratings.

In addition to the revolutionary ILS™ technology and its uniquely safe and effective handling of power line surges, the ACE-615 provides superior State-of-the-Art AC line enhancement by effectively filtering both types of noise interference (radio frequency and electromagnetic) without "choking" the full power line load necessary for dynamic amplifier performance.

The filter response in the Normal Mode (between hot and neutral) is 6 dB @ 10kHz. The filtering effect increases as the frequency increases. This filtering very effectively deals with the kind of AC noise and “hash” generated by vacuum cleaners, compressors in refrigerators, etc. This filtering takes place prior to the surge suppression stage and dramatically enhances audio performance.

The filter response in the Common Mode (between hot and neutral with respect to ground) is 6 dB @ 400kHz. Again, the filtering effect increases at higher frequencies. This filtering pertains primarily to Radio Frequency Interference (RFI).

The ACE-615 also offers advanced coaxial cable protection for signals traveling the coax lines. When the IL™ series coax circuit is examined, its unique qualities become readily apparent. The coax circuit is completely isolated. Located as far away from the incoming AC signal as possible and incorporating precisely engineered utilization of isolation washers, the ACE-615 coax module prevents electrical coupling, RF coupling and ground loops resulting in the best possible video image without degradation from AC noise and distortion.

The Adcom ACE-615 represents a completely new dimension in total surge suppression efficacy, coax protection, AC line enhancement and safety. They are also, like all our products, precision engineered and quality manufactured to deliver maximum performance, long lasting reliability and, of course, ultimate Adcom value.

The Government’s Highest Rating...

Having experienced a rash of very costly suppressor failures, the U.S. Government set about developing a powerline surge suppressor purchase specification that incorporates user requirements and classifies products for:
Endurance (service lifespan)
Performance (degree of protection provided)
Mode of Operation (application)

This specification is now available to everyone and the ILS™ technology utilized in Adcom’s ACE-615 was the first to receive the U.S. Government’s highest certification, independently verified by Underwriters Laboratories Inc.®:
Grade A Endurance (1,000 surges; 6,000 volts; 3,000 amps per surge)
Class 1 Performance (280 volts measured)
Mode 1 Applications (no ground circuit contamination)

No MOV-based Shunt-Mode suppressor has ever been able to meet all three of these standards.
