Silent Angel Forester F2 Linear Power Supply

The Silent Angel Forester F2 is a linear multi-output power supply that powers up to four streaming components at once with low-noise energy.

Where the small Forester F1 feeds one or two devices, the F2 is the power hub for the whole rack, with several voltages and generous power reserves.

Why the Forester F2?

A power supply for the growing system: more outputs, more voltage options, more reserve.

• Four independent outputs: Powers up to four devices at 5, 12 or 19 volts and ends the cable clutter of various plug-in supplies.
• Massive toroidal transformer: Minimizes stray magnetic fields and delivers a very stable voltage, making the music more three-dimensional and punchy.
• Fast MOSFET regulation: Reacts to load demands in a split second, giving crisp dynamics and precise bass.
• Symmetrical circuit design: Cancels out common-mode interference, audibly lowering the background and revealing detail in quiet passages.

What you get

The F2 gives a multi-part setup real composure: even when switch, streamer and external hard drive all draw power at once, the voltage doesn't sag. Sonically that pays off in stable spatial imaging and quiet, hum-free continuous operation. On a Bonn NX the effect is immediately tangible.

Who is the Forester F2 for?

The F2 is built for larger, multi-part setups and power-hungry components. Honestly: if you're only running a single small switch, the Forester F1 is cheaper and does the job. The F2 pays off once several devices call for clean power, or a component like the NX deserves more reserve.

Our verdict

A genuine heavyweight that needs its own space and is no accessory to hide behind the cabinet. In a high-end system, the power supply is often the most important invisible component, and the F2 fills that role with authority. Which voltages and DC cables you need for your devices, we'll work out at HD Zürisee in Wädenswil.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use the Forester F2 for devices of other brands?

Yes, as long as voltage and current draw match the respective output. The connector formats are widely used, so many DACs, streamers or small music servers benefit from it. If in doubt, we'll check compatibility for you.

What's the advantage over the Forester F1?

The F2 offers significantly more power, more outputs and several voltages plus more elaborate filtering. It's built for larger setups and power-hungry components like the Bonn NX, while the F1 powers one or two small devices.

Should the power supply stay switched on permanently?

For consistent sound we recommend leaving the F2 connected to mains, so the components stay at operating temperature. Idle consumption is low. That way the device is always in its optimal working range without a warm-up phase.

Why buy the Forester F2 at HD Zürisee?

Because matching the right voltages, connectors and devices takes experience. We configure the F2 in our Wädenswil store to fit your system, supply the right DC cables and stand by with our own technician for setup and support.

Goes well with

The F2 powers a whole digital chain. Combine it with a switch, server and clock from the world of Silent Angel, find the right music servers and browse the DC cables for the connection.
