The Power Strip is a simpler and more affordable alternative to the advanced KE Power-Source. Available in 8-way, 6-way or 4-way form, it differs from other multi-way power strips in several important respects. Instead of using common rails to connect line, neutral and earth, the KE Power Strip uses star wiring, which drastically reduces interference between adjacent outlets. In other words, the current drawn from one outlet does not affect the supply to the other outlets. Each outlet is independently connected with 13AWG wire. No fuses or switches are incorporated as these are know to have a choking effect on sound quality. The KE Power Strip also includes the SNS (shunt noise suppressor) module. This parallel filter eliminates most of the buzz, noise and hash present in the mains and provides a very clean and spacious reproduction of sound with more generous bass. Complete with 1.5 metre Hi-Power fully shielded mains cord.

Many of our customers asked us for a more simple and lower priced alternative for the advanced KE-POWER Source. This led us to develop the KE-POWER STRIP. We all know the standard plastic "DIY shop type" power strips so often used to power high quality audio & video systems. It is not difficult to imagine that the power losses and pollution of the mains by an inferior power strip cannot be compensated or restored afterwards. Not even by the best audiophile power cards available. There are many brands and types of audiophile power strips available too. However, all of them use common strips or rails for phase, neutral and earth. This means that the current of the first outlet influences the current of the next outlets and vice versa. The KE-POWER STRIP uses star wiring for the phase, neutral and earth originating from one point and thus eliminating this problem.

Each outlet has its own supply connected with 3 x 2.5 mm² (13 AWG) wire. We deliberately avoided the uses of fuses or a switch as both clearly compromise dynamics and sound quality. The high quality aluminium housing protects against EMI/RFI and has an advanced earth circuit.

We also used the technology of the KE-SNS PLUG in a module: the KE-SNS MODULE. The wires used are our own special KE-POWER WIRE. This SNS MODULE is located directly at the input (star-point) of the KE-POWER STRIP. SNS stands for "Shunt Noise Suppressor" and is connected parallel to the power outlets. The most important advantage of a parallel noise suppressor is that there are no serial components (i.e. coil) connected with the outlets. The parallel noise suppression technology of the KE-POWER STRIP provides a very clean and spacious reproduction with a much richer and stronger bass.

The order of connecting components to any power strip always affects the results (sound and/or picture quality). This highly depends on the components and personal preference. Although the unique star wiring of the KE-POWER STRIP strongly minimizes this, we advise the following order, based on extensive listening tests.
- amplifier(s) and subwoofer if present
- preamplifier
- cd-player (with a separate system, DAC before than the drive)
- tuner
- video/tv
- turntable
