Audience Expands Hidden Treasure Lineup with Debut of
Premium AC Wall Receptacle and High-Performance Circuit Breaker

San Marcos, CA, February 28, 2019 — Audience has added two new products to its Hidden Treasure AC in-wall power solutions lineup with the introduction of its Hidden Treasure High Definition AC Wall Receptacle and Hidden Treasure High Definition AC Circuit Breaker. Both employ Audience’s proprietary MORRE (Musically Optimized Reduction of Resistive Energies) technologies to deliver cleaner, more phase-correct AC power and yield better sound and performance from audio/video components.

The new products join Audience’s Hidden Treasure HDAC in-wall power cable to provide a complete, ultimate-quality in-wall power-delivery solution for high-end audio, custom-installation, home theater, multiroom and other in-wall applications.

 

The Hidden Treasure High Definition AC (HDAC) Wall Receptacle features high-purity copper-core, rhodium-plated contacts that provide a tight grip and the most secure connection available. The duplex receptacle is rated for up to 20 amps and can accommodate up to 10 AWG wiring. The receptacle’s body is made from rugged thermoplastic nylon.

The receptacle is treated with Audience’s EHVP Extreme High-Voltage Process, which is a MORRE technology aspect that applies high voltages in specific combinations. This proprietary technique aligns the crystalline structure of the various metals used in the receptacle to create more efficient “pathways” for signals to travel through the materials.

“Our new Hidden Treasure wall receptacle can improve the detail, dynamics, imaging and spatial reproduction of a high-performance audio system,” said John McDonald, president of Audience. “Audience has extremely demanding performance standards that must be met before we introduce any new product, and we’re particularly pleased about the sonic benefits of our new wall receptacle.”

Audience’s Hidden Treasure HDAC Circuit Breaker adds proprietary MORRE treatments to a customer-supplied circuit breaker. “There are many brands and models of circuit breakers on the market, but our process now makes it practical and feasible to upgrade virtually any of them, simply by having customers send in their particular units,” said John McDonald, president of Audience. This also ensures compatibility with a customer’s existing electrical panel and system.

At the factory the circuit breakers go through the EHVP treatment. In addition, nanoparticle damping materials are selectively applied to reduce mechanical resonances, along with EMI and RF electrical interference. The circuit breakers are not disassembled in any way during the processes. “Once a customer gets their unit back from us, it’s transformed into a Hidden Treasure HDAC Circuit Breaker, which is designed to reduce noise and interference and provide greater sonic clarity,” McDonald noted. Hidden Treasure circuit breakers maintain all the compliance and safety specifications of the original unit.

When used together, the Audience Hidden Treasure wall receptacle, circuit breaker and in-wall power cable deliver the best-possible clean power that is phase-correct and blocks EMF and RF interference. The sonic results include improved clarity, dynamics and accuracy.

When used together, the Audience Hidden Treasure wall receptacle, circuit breaker and in-wall power cable deliver the highest possible in-wall solution for high-end systems, offering clean power that is phase-correct while blocking EMF and RF interference.

The Audience Hidden Treasure High-Definition AC Wall Receptacle is currently available at a suggested retail price of $199. The Hidden Treasure High Definition AC Circuit Breaker is available at $175 suggested retail. The customer must supply the circuit breaker or breakers. Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician.

    Bought two Hidden Treasure AC Wall Receptacles from The Cable Company. They have made a big difference to my sound and video system. The receptacles are also very easy to install. A great product!

    I was using a Furutech GTX-S (R) (no NCF) and then bought a Hidden Treasure. Both are side by side on the wall and broken in. My sound system amounts to something like $65,000. The Audience outlet is like trying to much to control and it results in tight bass but un-natural timbre of instruments like trompette or other brasses that sound plastic. It also make some parts of frequency spectrum disappear. That’s more of a problem with old jazz recordings and also symphonic orchestras. We have to think that those accessories are about tuning and if your system is already tight, using some of those may reveal inappropriate. BTW, my experience with the much praised Orange fuses turned out a similar error.
