ENGLISH ELECTRIC EE1 PLUS – ADVANCED NETWORK ISOLATOR FOR STREAMING

English Electric EE1 Plus is developed for streaming enthusiasts who want to reduce network noise and get the most out of their digital audio and video systems. Although digital signals are fundamentally robust, unwanted electrical noise often comes along from routers, switches, and other network devices. This noise does not affect the bit values, but it does affect timing, jitter, and the overall sense of calm in playback.

EE1 Plus works as an advanced in-line filter placed between two Ethernet cables, effectively eliminating noise without restricting data flow. It significantly improves streaming quality, whether you use a high-end streamer, a network-based DAC system, or a modern home theater installation.

HIGHLIGHTS

• Self-powered network isolator – converts noise into heat
• Galvanic isolation and targeted common-mode filtering
• The quality of the data signal is preserved 100 percent intact
• Contains Chord Company’s advanced ARAY technology
• CNC-machined aluminum chassis with decoupled foot design
• Easy to integrate into any streaming or AV system
• Multiple EE1 Plus units can provide further improvements

A TECHNOLOGICAL SOLUTION TO AN INVISIBLE PROBLEM

The biggest challenge in modern streaming is not data – it is noise. Routers, switches, computers, and powerline adapters add micro-noise to Ethernet cables, and even though the data stream arrives, the noise can affect the downstream digital circuitry in the streamer or DAC.

EE1 Plus works as an active, self-powered isolator: unwanted noise is converted into heat instead of reaching your streamer. A combination of galvanic isolation and targeted common-mode filtering prevents high-frequency noise from traveling further along the signal path.

The result is tighter, calmer, and more transparent sound reproduction – with clearer separation, deeper spatial impression, and better timing.

ARAY TECHNOLOGY – DEVELOPED BY CHORD COMPANY

At the heart of EE1 Plus is Chord Company’s patented ARAY technology, designed to preserve the integrity of the data signal while suppressing noise. The technology ensures that timing and rhythmic precision are maintained, which is especially noticeable in complex musical pieces where small details and microdynamics are essential to the whole.

This approach is not based on aggressive filtering that can limit the signal – but on a carefully balanced method that removes the unwanted and leaves the music intact.

BUILT AS A HIGH-END COMPONENT

EE1 Plus is constructed in a heavy, CNC-machined aluminum chassis that provides both electrical and mechanical stability. The decoupled feet reduce vibrations and prevent cabinet resonances from affecting the circuitry.

This makes EE1 Plus a discreet yet exceptionally refined component, designed to be integrated effortlessly into any system – and one that makes a significant difference even in very ambitious setups.

SCALABLE IMPROVEMENT - ONE UNIT PER BOTTLENECK

EE1 Plus is placed in series with your Ethernet cables. One unit between router and switch, or between switch and streamer, already delivers a clear improvement. In larger systems, multiple units can be used to clean up the entire network path and create an even calmer musical foundation.

For serious streaming enthusiasts, EE1 Plus therefore works as a building block that elevates the whole system step by step.

AN INVESTMENT IN CLEANER DIGITAL SOUND

English Electric EE1 Plus is a small component with a big impact: improved clarity, deeper black background, cleaner transients, and better transparency. It is a noise-isolating solution that enhances the streaming experience without changing the source or DAC – because it optimizes the foundation where all digital audio processing begins.

For music and movie lovers who want the best possible streaming performance, EE1 Plus is an elegant and effective tool that makes a surprisingly big difference.
