Description
The Musical Fidelity X-Power Mains Conditioner revives the brand’s iconic X-profile design while delivering serious modern performance for today’s audio systems. As mains electricity quality continues to decline due to switch-mode power supplies, LED lighting and network devices, clean and stable power has become essential for high-fidelity playback.
The X-Power is engineered as a single-inlet, single-outlet line power conditioner that combines advanced protection and filtration in a compact, beautifully constructed chassis. Its one-piece aluminium extrusion enclosure provides exceptional shielding against electromagnetic interference, while the brushed aluminium faceplate adds a refined, unmistakable Musical Fidelity aesthetic.
Designed to be both practical and effective, it offers an elegant solution to a growing problem in contemporary audio environments.
Comprehensive Protection for Valuable Equipment
At the heart of the Musical Fidelity X-Power Mains Conditioner are three essential protection stages: surge and overvoltage protection, EMI/RFI filtering and a DC blocker. The multi-stage surge protection system operates both at the input and final output stages, diverting excess voltage away from connected equipment before damage can occur.
Voltage spikes caused by lightning strikes, grid instability or sudden load changes are safely absorbed, helping to prevent costly repairs or component failure. With a maximum rated output of 10A, the unit supports substantial system demands while maintaining robust protection. This rare combination of protection technologies at this level makes the X-Power an exceptional value and a crucial safeguard for sensitive high-end audio electronics.
Advanced DC Blocking for Cleaner Performance
Unwanted DC offset on the mains supply can saturate transformer cores, leading to audible mechanical hum, reduced efficiency and compromised sonic performance. The Musical Fidelity X-Power Mains Conditioner addresses this issue with a carefully designed DC blocking circuit employing diodes and high-quality electrolytic capacitors.
This network effectively blocks DC components while allowing the AC signal to pass freely, preserving proper transformer operation. Even small amounts of DC voltage can negatively affect amplifiers and preamplifiers, yet many devices do not incorporate dedicated DC blocking internally.
By eliminating DC offset before it reaches your equipment, the X-Power ensures quieter operation, improved efficiency and greater overall stability, making it an essential addition to serious audio systems.
Exceptional EMI and RFI Attenuation
Electromagnetic and radio frequency interference are among the most significant threats to audio clarity in modern environments. The Musical Fidelity X-Power Mains Conditioner integrates a bespoke EMI/RFI filter featuring dual common-mode chokes combined with common-mode and differential-mode capacitors, followed by additional overvoltage protection.
The results are remarkable: attenuation approaches -60dB at 100kHz, exceeds -70dB from 600kHz, and reaches more than -80dB at 1MHz. Such performance levels are rarely seen in this category. By suppressing high-frequency noise before it contaminates the power supply of connected components, the X-Power helps reduce background noise, enhance detail retrieval and preserve dynamic integrity across the entire audio chain.
Flexible System Integration
The Musical Fidelity X-Power Mains Conditioner features an IEC C14 10A input and a high-quality Schuko output socket, with alternative US, UK or AUS socket versions available. Rated at 10A, it supports up to 2300W in 230V regions (1100W at 110V), allowing it to power amplifiers or multiple source components when used with a high-quality, unfiltered power strip.
As a guideline, most source devices consume between 20 and 40 watts, enabling several to be connected comfortably. For best results, digital and analogue devices should not be mixed on the same conditioner. We recommend connecting only one amplifier per unit. Please note that any equipment shown in promotional imagery is for illustrative purposes only and is available separately.
Engineered for Modern High-Fidelity Systems
Compact yet substantial, the Musical Fidelity X-Power Mains Conditioner measures 108 x 105 x 274 mm and weighs 2.29 kg. It operates on AC 230/240V 50/60Hz supplies and offers DC blocking up to 2V. Designed to handle Class AB, Class A and tube amplifiers within appropriate headroom calculations, it delivers reliable performance across a wide range of system configurations.
Its rigid aluminium chassis ensures optimal shielding, while the internal architecture focuses on clean, stable energy delivery without introducing additional noise. By combining surge protection, DC blocking and extraordinary RFI attenuation in a single refined unit, the X-Power provides a solid foundation for improved clarity, stability and long-term equipment protection.
