Chord Company EE 1 Plus – Turning network noise into heat

The new Chord Company EE 1 Plus Advanced Network Noise Isolator is designed to perform its task of eliminating network noise inconspicuously in the background. According to Chord Company Ltd., this is achieved simply by integrating the Chord Company EE 1 Plus into the data flow between Ethernet cables.

The English cable and accessories specialist The Chord Company Ltd. has already devoted itself to the topic of network noise, specifically with regard to the particularly effective removal of said network noise. Based on 40 years of experience in AV signal processing, the Chord Company EE 1 has been further developed and can now present the new Chord Company EE 1 Plus Advanced Network Noise Isolator.

Once again, the special feature of the new Chord Company EE 1 Plus Advanced Network Noise Isolator is that it is simply integrated passively into the signal flow between the Ethernet cables.

Flexible use at various points in the network

To use the Chord Company EE 1 Plus Advanced Network Noise Isolator, all you need to do is integrate it inconspicuously into the AV streaming system, as the manufacturer explicitly emphasises several times. For example, it can be integrated between the central router and the streaming client, or between a switch and a NAS (Network Attached Storage), between the server and the streaming client – all options are open to the user.

The manufacturer even states that it is quite conceivable to use several devices in a network configuration, which would lead to a further reduction in network noise if necessary.

Passive design

Although network signals are generally stable, they are often accompanied by a certain amount of interference noise caused by household appliances, for example, according to The Chord Company Ltd. In order to remove this, the Chord Company EE 1 Plus Advanced Network Noise Isolator uses a purely passive design.

The passive design of the Chord EE1 Plus converts unwanted noise into heat so that the quality of the digital data remains unaffected. It features galvanic isolation, selective common mode filtering and Chord Company Ltd’s proprietary ARAY technology.

Compact device

The Chord Company EE 1 Plus Advanced Network Noise Isolator is a very compact device with an aluminium housing and two high-quality, decoupled isolation feet.

Prices and availability

The new Chord Company EE 1 Plus Advanced Network Noise Isolator is currently available from specialist retailers. The recommended retail price is listed at € 799,-.

Getting to the point

It is a solution that can effectively remove any network noise in a simple and flexible way, is how the English company The Chord Company Ltd. describes the latest generation of its so-called network noise isolator, the Chord Company EE 1 Plus Advanced Network Noise Isolator.
