Active Cable Tesla Coil

Active Cable Tesla Coil :

The Active Cable Tesla Coil is an active variant of the Tesla Coils which are wound around conductors of cables or inside equipment.

Before we start talking about this specific type of Coil, let's first discuss the basic principle of every Tesla Coil technology from Audio Group Denmark. The Tesla Coil is a component that consists of 2 coils, a coil and a counter coil. The counter coil is wound in the opposite direction compared to the coil. Ansuz also calls this principle the 'Double Inverted Coil'. The principle of the Tesla Coils can be seen as the principle behind noise-cancelling headphones; a noise-cancelling headphone picks up noise from outside at certain frequencies and then adds it out of phase to the signal, thereby cancelling out these frequencies. 

The Tesla Coils do the same thing, except that it's now about electronic noise and not literally "audible" like wind or airplane engines etc. The special thing about electronic noise is that you don't actually hear it, until you remove it, after which you notice that you hear more layers in the recording and that there is space and air between everything that happens in the recording. The more noise you remove, the stronger this effect becomes and the more you get from the recording and you really extract what's in your music. Going back to the noise cancellation effect, a Tesla Coil ensures that the noise passes through the coil and thereby the counter coil is activated, because the counter coil is wound in an opposite direction it imitates the noise but then out of phase, thereby cancelling the initial noise peak. One or more Tesla Coil(s) are placed in parallel to the signal path, so the signal doesn't go through all the coils, but the coils "pick" the noise out of your conductors from the side. All types of Tesla Coils are supportive and work together, the more Tesla Coils in your set, the more noise cancelling and the more musical the sound.

Active Cable Tesla Coil :

The Active Cable Tesla Coils are, as the name suggests, applied to cables/conductors and are active. This means that the coils are energized from an external power source via a DC signal. With the individual Ansuz cables and with Børresen speakers where this technology is integrated, you power these Active Cable Tesla Coils from an Ansuz PowerBox or a PowerSwitch. With Aavik amplifiers and Ansuz PowerSwitches and PowerBoxes, the active Tesla Coils are powered by the built-in power supply of the equipment, and with the Ansuz Mainz8 power distributors, the active Tesla Coils are powered from the AC power signal coming in from the power cord, this signal is converted to DC to properly power the Tesla Coils. 

All active versions of the Tesla Coils are 3-4 times more effective at eliminating noise compared to the passive variants. The passive Tesla Coils are easier to apply, both versions can be combined, but the active Tesla Coils are actually only found in Ansuz cables of level D3 or higher. The Active Cable Tesla Coil is also applied to the conductors of various models of Ansuz power outlets (from the Mainz8 C3 and higher), network switches (from the PowerSwitch A3 and higher) and PowerBoxes (all models).
