Network Acoustics Tempus Ethernet Network Switch

Tempus does for timing what we thought was only possible with vinyl.”  Jason Kennedy, The EAR

Network Acoustics flagship Ethernet Switch tempus is designed to deliver a clean signal to your music and video streamers, NAS, Media Servers and Smart TV, simultaneously optimising the performance of each device.

tempus features a host of proprietary innovations including multi-stage power filtering, huge, but low stressed switching and data-processing capacity, precision clocking and a specifically designed hybrid dynamic power supply.

tempus is available in Black or Silver finishes, and is supplied with Network Acoustics’ new Hybrid Power Supply, and a 1.0 m reference DC Cable.

tempus – Hybrid Power Supply

Having spent months testing the ‘best’ available battery, linear and switched-mode technology, Network Acoustics concluded that the only way to realise the performance they wanted for tempus, was to create something new, a power supply designed specifically for the purpose.

The tempus Hybrid Power Supply is a ground-breaking design in its own right. Featuring multi-stage noise filtering, a unique output stage design, combined with switched-mode technology, and its own high-performance DC cable . This unique hybrid design delivers ultra clean power normally only associated with the best Linear supplies combined with the essential dynamics only a switched-mode can provide.

Power Supply Features

• Ultra low noise/mutli-stage filtered hybrid power supply.
• Output stage using Mundorf Supreme Gold/Silver Capacitors.
• Non-resonant acrylic seamless enclosure.
• Supplied with Network Acoustics’ reference DC power cable (0.75 m).
• Finish: soft touch black.
• Engineered and hand built in the UK.
