Ferrum HYPSOS 

HYBRID POWER SUPPLY

HYPSOS is in a new category all of its own, it was made in conjunction with the OOR and ERCO to provide accurate and stable power so they can operate at their most optimal performance. The great thing though is that you can use this power supply with lots of other manufacturers devices such as Chord Hugo TT's/TT2 to up their sound quality to the next level. The HYPSOS is a hybrid power supply that operates in Linear/Switching so that the noise floor is as low as can be. It cleans the power so that noisy ground hums can disappear. We have this on display here in the store for you to try out. 

The HYPSOS uses a unique output 4-pin cable. Two of the wires deliver the power and the other two are providing the feedback so that it knows where the voltage is constantly at. HYPSOS comes with one of the two high quality DC power cables fitted with a 5,5x2,5mm and a 5,5x2,1mm DC plug, to connect to the most commonly used DC inlets. If you need different type of DC plug please contact us. To connect this to either the ERCO or OOR then you would want to purchase the Ferrum Power Link DC Power Cord@ $130 Canadian Dollars (plus tax). All Ferrum products are backed by a 3 Year Warranty.

Here is some info from their website:

 

Hybrid Power System

Linear/switching hybrid design to get the advantages from both techniques - low ripple and noise as well as fast transient response and high efficiency.

 

Distinct user levels

Using pre-configured settings from the list of supported devices or setting custom parameters manually. Wide continuous ouput voltage range of 5-30V with up to 6A of current delivered to the load. HYPSOS is as universal a device as it gets.

 

Sweet Spot Tuning (SST)

Possibility to fine tune the output voltage for the best sound. The voltage level can be safely adjusted on the fly to allow easy comparison testing.

 

4T Sensing Design (4TSD)

Ensuring the exact voltage level precisely at the point of the powered device DC input terminal - special cable design and feedback to ensure flat voltage at every moment. This technique eliminates the harmful effects of the cable's resistance effectively improving transient response.

 

Advanced Automation

Compatibility with Apple TV remote, Trigger in/out connector; possibility to automate power-up of the devices with standby mode even without dedicated trigger connection.

 

Extremely safe to use

Automatic Transformer Voltage Adjust (ATVA), Electronic Output Voltage Polarity Switch and overvoltage, current limit and short protection. Settings lock to prevent accidental change of the parameters.

 

Detailed and revealing yet unfatiguing sound

Makes your current audio setup perform to its potential. Tweak the sound modifying the voltage level on the fly and use the preferred combination of the 4-Terminal Sensing and Spread Spectrum Mode settings.
