At its core is a new four-stage cascaded filtering system, with elements working in series and parallel to remove two distinct forms of unwanted electrical noise: Differential Noise, which interferes with the data, and Common Mode Noise, which radiates EMI through the system. The new circuit design also prevents self-induced electrical ringing and features a fully integrated grounding system to draw noise away from the signal path.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCo-Founder Rich Trussell says:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e“With the Muon2 Filter and Streaming Cable, we set out to consider every component part holistically. The circuit must remove as much noise as possible from the analogue signal that represents the ones and zeros of the digital code, without losing or damaging the signal itself. But just as important are vibration control, enclosure material, isolation, and the cable that makes the final connection with the Streamer. Get all of those right and the result is something truly special.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003esolid beechwood enclosure:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFrom work on previous products Network Acoustics identified that \u003c\/span\u003emicro-vibration has a big impact on sound quality\u003cspan\u003e, so they established that the choice of enclosure material would be critical to achieve the level of performance they wanted for Muon2.
