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. ."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." "Another problem with standard AC wall receptacles is that they use a 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 which 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." For Pangea's middle-grade Premier SE AC receptacle, Jay used 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." "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."
