2. Package Contents
Please ensure all the following items are present in your package:
- 1 x Dynavox X7000S Power Strip Unit
- 1 x Power Cord (1.50 m)
- 1 x User Manual (this document)
3. Key Features
- Advanced Power Filtration: Four of the six outlets are equipped with advanced filtration technology to eliminate electrical interference from the mains, ensuring pure audio without humming or noise.
- Integrated Display: A built-in, deactivatable display shows the current power voltage or consumed wattage. The unit remembers the last display setting after power cycling.
- Robust Chassis: Features an 8 mm brushed aluminum front panel, providing durability and a premium aesthetic that integrates well into any audio rack.
- Safety Circuit Breaker: Equipped with a 10A automatic circuit breaker. If the load exceeds 10A, the fuse will automatically cut off the power to protect connected devices.
- Phase Indicator LED: A dedicated LED indicates incorrect phase connection, helping users ensure optimal power delivery and system performance.
4. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps to properly set up your Dynavox X7000S Hi-Fi Power Filter:
- Placement: Position the Dynavox X7000S on a stable, flat surface, preferably near your audio system components. Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit.
- Power Connection: Connect the provided power cord to the IEC inlet on the rear of the X7000S and then to a wall outlet.
- Phase Check: Observe the "PHASE INVERSE" LED indicator on the front panel. If it illuminates, it indicates an incorrect phase connection. To correct this, reverse the power plug in the wall socket. This ensures optimal performance and safety.
- Connecting Audio Components: The X7000S features six power outlets:
- Filtered Outlets (4): These outlets provide filtered power, ideal for sensitive audio components such as CD players, DACs, preamplifiers, and network streamers, where clean power is critical for sound quality.
- Unfiltered Outlets (2): These outlets provide direct, unfiltered power. They are generally recommended for high-current devices like power amplifiers, which may perform better with direct power and are less susceptible to mains noise.
- Power On: Once all connections are secure, switch on the main power switch located on the rear panel.

5. Operation
Display Functionality
The Dynavox X7000S features a digital display on the front panel that can show either the input voltage (Volts) or the total power consumption (Watts) of the connected devices.
- Switching Display Modes: Press the "MODE" button on the front panel to toggle between Voltage (V) and Wattage (W) display modes.
- Deactivating the Display: To turn off the display, press and hold the "MODE" button for a few seconds. The display will turn off, but the unit will continue to function.
- Memory Function: The unit will remember your last display setting (on/off, V/W mode) even after being powered off and on again.
Circuit Breaker
The integrated 10A automatic circuit breaker protects your connected equipment from overcurrents. If the total load of devices connected to the X7000S exceeds 10 Amperes (approximately 2300 Watts at 230V), the circuit breaker will trip, cutting off power to prevent damage. To reset the circuit breaker, reduce the load by unplugging some devices, then press the red reset button located on the rear panel (labeled F10A RESET).
6. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Dynavox X7000S, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Disconnect the unit from the power supply before cleaning. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the exterior. Do not use liquid cleaners, aerosols, or abrasive materials, as they may damage the finish or internal components.
- Ventilation: Ensure that the ventilation openings are not obstructed. Proper airflow is essential to prevent overheating.
- Storage: If storing the unit for an extended period, disconnect it from the power supply and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Dynavox X7000S, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No power to connected devices. | Unit is not switched on; Power cord is loose; Circuit breaker tripped; Wall outlet has no power. | Ensure the main power switch on the rear is ON. Check power cord connections. Press the F10A RESET button on the rear. Test the wall outlet with another device. |
| "PHASE INVERSE" LED is illuminated. | Incorrect phase connection from the wall outlet. | Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, rotate it 180 degrees, and plug it back in. The LED should turn off. |
| Display is off. | Display has been deactivated. | Press the "MODE" button briefly to reactivate the display. |
| Humming or noise still present in audio. | Device connected to unfiltered outlet; Severe mains interference; Ground loop issue. | Ensure sensitive audio components are connected to the FILTERED outlets. Consult an audio specialist for severe interference or ground loop issues. |
| Display shows incorrect voltage/wattage. | Measurement inaccuracy; Unit malfunction. | The display provides an indication; minor variations are normal. If significantly off, contact support. |
| Unit feels hot. | Poor ventilation; Overload. | Ensure adequate space around the unit for airflow. Check if the total load exceeds 10A and reduce if necessary. |
