American high-end audio accessory manufacturer EnKlein has announced “The Sovereign,” a power and grounding solution. After more than two years of development, this product simultaneously achieves power noise elimination and grounding optimization for audio systems.
Product Overview
The Sovereign provides both power purification and system grounding functions in a single unit. Priced at $20,000 (excluding shipping, duties, and taxes), available immediately from EnKlein Bespoke authorized dealers and direct from EnKlein.
Technical Details
Power Purification Technology
At the core of The Sovereign are the following power noise elimination technologies:
- Dual-Nested Faraday Cage: Double-structure Faraday cage insulates super high-current conductors, blocking external electromagnetic interference
- 15 SHT Master Grade Noise Suppression Circuits: Effectively removes noise components across a wide bandwidth
- High-Permeability Metalized Glass Amorphous Choke: Wide-bandwidth inductor reduces power line noise
Power Bus Structure
The power conductors use aerospace-grade materials:
- Three rhodium-plated copper bus bars (one each for line, neutral, and ground)
- Aerospace-grade precision machining
Grounding Function
The front panel features six Furutech binding posts. These allow connection of chassis and system grounds from each audio component, eliminating ground loops.
The rear panel includes binding posts with proprietary directional inline filters, enabling cascade connection with other EnKlein products.
Design & Development
The Sovereign was co-developed by EnKlein and Stanislav Stoyanov, mechanical engineer at Thrax Audio. After more than two years of development, all technologies are condensed into a compact, high-mass, non-conductive chassis weighing under 12kg.
Expected Benefits
According to EnKlein, introducing The Sovereign can yield the following improvements:
- More precise and three-dimensional soundstage
- Faster transients
- Enhanced low-level detail
- Overall improved clarity and ease of listening
Additional Features
- Power LED: Adjustable brightness (bright, dim, off)
- Cascade Connection: Rear binding posts enable linking with EnKlein products
