Audes DT-3600DC

Audes DT-3600DC power conditioner – The Flagship for the Most Demanding Systems

The Audes DT-3600DC power conditioner is the absolute top model from Audes — a reference-grade mains filter with two independent transformers and switchable DC blocker, developed for the most demanding high-end audio installations. DT stands for Double Transformer: a 5000 VA main transformer rated at 3300 VA for power components and a 500 VA transformer rated at 300 VA for source components. The Audes DT-3600DC power conditioner provides twelve CEE 7/3 sockets across two fully isolated power groups.

Two Independent Power Groups for Absolute Separation

The DT architecture fully isolates power amplifiers from sensitive source components. Interference from switch-mode power supplies in source components cannot reach the power amplifier — and vice versa. With 3300 VA in the main group, the DT-3600DC delivers unrestricted current even for the heaviest mono power amplifiers and multiple power components simultaneously. Group 1 has eight sockets, Group 2 has four.

Switchable DC Blocker and Thermal Protection

The DT-3600DC is supplied with the DC blocker switched off as standard — the user can activate it via a switch on the rear panel if DC offset on the mains causes audible hum in connected components. Both transformers feature thermal protection that shuts down at 90 °C and reconnects automatically at 75 °C. The illuminated voltmeter and ammeters on the front panel are likewise switchable.

Exceptional Build Quality from Estonia

The weight of 61 kg reflects the scale of the internal components. The enclosure is available exclusively in black and is designed for minimal resonance. Audes has been manufacturing transformers since 1935 and applies that deep expertise fully in the DT-3600DC — the most ambitious product the Estonian manufacturer has ever developed.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the DT-3600DC and the TT-3200DC power conditioner?

The DT-3600DC has a larger physical transformer (5000 VA core, rated at 3300 VA), offers twelve sockets instead of eight and weighs 61 kg rather than 40 kg. The DC blocker is also switchable rather than permanently active.

Why is the DC blocker switched off as standard?

Audes recommends activating the DC blocker only if DC offset on the mains causes audible hum in transformers of connected components. Without a DC problem, the blocker is unnecessary — switching it off may in fact benefit sound quality.

Which systems is the DT-3600DC suited to?

The DT-3600DC is the reference model for the largest high-end installations with multiple heavy power amplifiers and extensive source setups. It works equally well with solid-state and valve equipment and operates correctly without an earth connection.
