ENGLISH ELECTRIC EE1 PLUS – ADVANCED NETWORK ISOLATOR FOR STREAMING

The English Electric EE1 Plus is designed for streaming enthusiasts who want to reduce network noise and get the most out of their digital audio and video systems. While digital signals are inherently robust, unwanted electrical noise often accompanies them from routers, switches and other network devices. This noise does not affect bit rates, but it does affect timing, jitter and the overall level of smoothness of the reproduction.

The EE1 Plus acts as an advanced in-line filter that is placed between two Ethernet cables and effectively eliminates noise without limiting the data flow. It significantly improves streaming quality, whether you are using a high-end streamer, a network-based DAC system or a modern home theater setup.

HIGHLIGHTS

• The quality of the data signal remains 100 percent intact
• Features Chord Company's advanced ARAY technology
• CNC-milled aluminum chassis with decoupled foot design
• Easy to integrate into any streaming or AV system
• Multiple EE1 Plus devices can provide further improvements

A TECHNOLOGICAL SOLUTION TO AN INVISIBLE PROBLEM

The biggest challenge in modern streaming isn't data—it's noise. Routers, switches, computers, and powerline adapters add micro-noise to Ethernet cables, and even if the data stream gets through, the noise can affect the subsequent digital circuitry in the streamer or DAC.

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

The result is a tighter, calmer and more transparent sound reproduction – with clearer separation, a deeper sense of space and better timing.

ARAY TECHNOLOGY – DEVELOPED BY CHORD COMPANY

At the heart of the 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 pieces of music where small details and microdynamics are essential to the whole.

This approach is not based on aggressive filtering, which 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

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

This makes the EE1 Plus a discreet, yet extremely accomplished component that is designed to be integrated effortlessly into any system – and which makes a significant difference, even in very ambitious setups.

SCALABLE IMPROVEMENT - ONE UNIT PER BOTTLENECHT

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

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

AN INVESTMENT IN PURER DIGITAL SOUND

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

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