{"product_id":"silentangelf1","title":"Silent Angel Forester F1 Linear Power Supply","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Silent Angel Forester F1 is a linear power supply that feeds your network components with low-noise power and replaces the plug-in supply included in the box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePower is the underrated ingredient in digital sound. Bundled switch-mode power supplies work, but they scatter unrest into the system. The Forester F1 switches off this source of interference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Forester F1?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA linear power supply delivers a calmer voltage than a typical switch-mode supply, and that's exactly what sensitive digital devices hear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eToroidal transformer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Delivers a very calm voltage, making the music sound more relaxed and natural.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEffective RF filtering:\u003c\/strong\u003e Keeps electrical grime from the wall socket away from the sensitive audio signal.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo 5-volt outputs:\u003c\/strong\u003e Powers two devices at once, for instance a switch and a small streamer, and brings order to the rack.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFast load regulation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Even under load spikes, energy arrives without delay, resulting in tighter bass and more dynamics.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you hear\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe typical effect customers describe to us is blackness: silence between notes becomes deeper, and the music stands more three-dimensionally in the room in front of it. On quiet jazz recordings, the fine brush strokes on the snare no longer sink into the noise floor. Especially nice paired with a Bonn N8 or a small Munich.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the Forester F1 for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe F1 is the right power supply for the small, 5-volt Silent Angel devices and many other audiophile small components. \u003cstrong\u003eBluntly:\u003c\/strong\u003e it's no magic box that saves a weak system. But if you're running a Bonn switch or a Munich streamer off the bundled power supply, you're giving away potential, which is unlocked here with manageable effort.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe logical, almost necessary upgrade for the small Silent Angel components. Clean power takes little space and brings an audible gain in calm. Which devices are worth connecting to it, and whether the Forester F2 or FX suits your larger system better, we'll work out with you at HD Zürisee in Wädenswil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical data\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutput voltage: 2 x 5 V DC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutput current: max. 2 A per port\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTransformer: toroidal transformer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHousing: CNC-machined aluminum, shielding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProtection circuits: overload and short-circuit protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions (W × H × D): 155 × 58 × 115 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: approx. 1.3 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScope of delivery: Forester F1, power cable, 2 x DC connection cables (5.5 × 2.1 mm), quick guide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I connect any 5-volt device to the Forester F1?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBasically yes, as long as the device's power draw is within the F1's specification. It's optimized for the Silent Angel Bonn and Munich series, but also fits many other audiophile small devices with 5 V supply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the power supply get warm during operation?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome residual heat is normal for a linear design and a sign of clean voltage regulation. Just make sure there's some air circulation in the rack, and everything stays in the safe zone. The F1 doesn't get hot in the process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich device should I connect first?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe switch usually brings the biggest audible leap, for example a Bonn N8. Since the F1 has two outputs, you can power a second 5 V load in parallel, like a small streamer, and upgrade both devices at once.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the Forester F1 at HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause we tell you which device the power upgrade will benefit the most in your setup, instead of just selling you a power supply. You get this assessment from years of practice in our store in Wädenswil, including the right DC cables and support.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eGoes well with\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe F1 is happiest powering a switch or streamer.
