IsoTek EVO3 Nova Mains Conditioner (12-Way)

The IsoTek EVO3 Nova is a 12-way complete mains conditioning solution: a passive power cleaner that supplies your source devices and your power amps at the same time – twelve independent filters in one chassis.

The Nova is IsoTek's answer to the problem that modern systems need outlets faster than you can count them. Streamer, DAC, preamp, turntable, power amp, subwoofer – and the small power strip is already full. The Nova takes on the whole system without any device fighting another for clean power.

Why the EVO3 Nova?

Twelve completely independent filter networks, each with its own socket: eight medium-current outlets with Adaptive Gating circuitry (2,300 W each, automatically adapting to the load) for sources and preamps, plus four high-current outlets with a leaner version of the Titan's Direct-Coupled circuit (3,680 W) for power amps, active loudspeakers and subwoofers. Add full DC cancellation on the mains. In short: a whole rack's worth of mains conditioning in one box.

What you hear

More calm across the whole chain, cleaner transients and bass that gains contour – because every device has its own power branch, decoupled from the others. Instead of interference passing around the system, each component stays to itself.

Who is the EVO3 Nova for? (and who it's not for — straight talk)

For larger HiFi and home-cinema systems that want to cleanly power many devices from one unit – including a power amp. Straight talk: for the really power-hungry monoblocks, the Super Titan is the better partner, and if you only have a handful of sources, an EVO3 Sigmas is the cheaper route.

Our verdict

The complete solution for a system that has grown: twelve independently filtered outlets for sources and power amp in one chassis, plus high-current reserves for the power section. A well thought-out foundation for the whole system – in silver or black.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between the EVO3 Nova and a normal power strip?

An ordinary strip wires all outlets in series, so interference from one device can travel unhindered to the next. The EVO3 Nova gives each of its twelve outlets its own filter network – eight medium-current and four high-current outlets that don't contaminate each other.

What's the difference between Nova and Super Nova?

The Nova is the versatile 12-way all-in-one solution: eight medium-current plus four high-current outlets, so it powers sources and power amps from one chassis. The Super Nova is the pure source-only Ultimate stage with eight outlets, built more massively and optimized exclusively for the front-end.
