• Improved overall system performance

More Than Surge Protection

Electrical noise can affect sensitive entertainment equipment.

The THOR SmartBrain filtration system is designed to reduce unwanted EMI/RFI interference, helping create cleaner power for compatible AV equipment.

Benefits may include:

• Cleaner audio
• Improved picture stability
• Reduced electrical noise
• Better system performance

Rather than simply distributing power, it helps provide cleaner, more stable power to connected electronics.

SmartFilter 8 has two unique isolated banks offering fail-safe protection for your valuable electronic equipment, plus advanced noise filtering for improved sound and video quality.

The Thor SmartBrain not only protects from surges, it also filters and cleans electrical frequency noise. Cascade Filter “cleans” around 60% more filtration than Australian industry standards, helping deliver cleaner power for connected equipment to give you unbeatable sound and video quality. Enjoy a truer AV experience with better picture quality and purer sound. Can also improve computer gaming speeds and fix internet dropouts

True circuit isolation ensures best performance for all connected equipment.

Protect Equipment Worth Thousands

A premium entertainment system can easily represent many thousands of dollars in equipment.

The THOR B8A helps protect connected devices from damaging power surges while filtering unwanted electrical noise and providing protection for power, antenna and network connections.

Compared with replacing a premium TV or AV receiver, it's a relatively small investment.

• 8 protected outlets
• Two isolated filter banks
• Advanced EMI/RFI filtration
• RJ45 network protection
• F-type antenna protection
• Large plug-friendly outlet spacing
• Fast Australian dispatch

Why choose the B8A instead of a standard power board?

The B8A combines premium surge protection with advanced EMI/RFI filtration, dual isolated outlet banks and protection for antenna and Ethernet connections, making it suitable for larger entertainment systems.

What are the two isolated filter banks for?

They help reduce electrical interference between connected devices by separating equipment into independently filtered outlet groups, which can benefit complex AV systems.

Can I use this for my home theatre?

Yes. It's designed for home entertainment systems including TVs, AV receivers, gaming consoles, soundbars, routers and streaming devices.

Does it protect network and antenna cables?

Yes. The B8A includes built-in RJ45 data protection and F-type antenna protection to help guard against surges entering through those connections.
