Ultimate Power Conditioner
The pinnacle of Audes balanced power. Two in-house toroidal transformers isolate your system from the domestic network, giving amplifiers and analogue sources a silent, high-current supply, while digital devices with switched-mode supplies run from an entirely separate group.
Developed on 90 years of engineering tradition since 1935, for true connoisseurs of high-end audio and home cinema.
The AUDES DT-3600 Ultimate power conditioner removes noise and distortion from the mains, delivering stable, clean power to every component of your audio system and home cinema.
At the heart of the DT-3600 are two toroidal transformers designed and built by Audes. The main transformer, a 230 VAC / 115 + 115 VAC balancing design rated at 3300 V∙A, feeds eight outlets for amplifiers and analogue sources. A second 230 / 230 VAC transformer rated at 300 V∙A powers four further outlets.
That second group exists for a reason. Switched-mode power supplies in streamers, DACs, displays and processors inject distortion back into whatever source they share. On the DT-3600 they never share one: Group 1 and Group 2 outlets are fully isolated from each other and from the mains.
Output voltages are symmetrical around an artificial centre tap tied to the earth contact of every socket, so noise arriving from the grid cancels itself. Very low output impedance lets each outlet deliver large current surges up to full rated power while holding its voltage.
Unlock the true emotional depth and dynamic range of your audio-visual system. The Audes DT-3600 is engineered from the ground up to liberate high-end Hi-Fi and AV components from the noise, hash, and fluctuations of standard domestic power grids.
Two proprietary, in-house designed toroidal transformers deliver complete galvanic isolation from mains pollution.
Engineered with symmetrical balancing capability, referenced to an artificial centre tap connected to ground. Designed with ultra-low output impedance alongside precision-engineered leakage inductance and capacitance, it effortlessly suppresses incoming mains noise while supplying instantaneous, massive current surges without voltage sag.
A dedicated, completely isolated supply designed specifically for low-power digital sources and devices using switched-mode power supplies (SMPS). By physically separating SMPS-generated switching distortion onto its own transformer, your delicate analogue gear on Group 1 remains purely isolated and acoustically pristine.
To tame the massive magnetisation inrush current of its 3300 V∙A core, the DT-3600 incorporates an active soft-start circuit with a specialised ballast resistor, ensuring smooth power-up without disturbing neighbouring devices on your circuit.
Eliminates transformer hum caused by asymmetrical DC offset on the AC line. Engaged or bypassed via the rear-panel switch, the DC blocker guarantees whisper-quiet mechanical performance tailored to your grid conditions.
Advanced toroidal architecture dramatically attenuates harmful stray electromagnetic radiation. Standard placement guidelines still recommend a reasonable distance from sensitive phono stages and turntables.
Safeguarded by an overall thermal circuit breaker alongside dual dedicated transformer thermal sensors that trigger automatic cut-off at 90 °C and restore operation safely once cooled to 75 °C.
Two in-house toroidal transformers create fully isolated outlet groups for maximum isolation and an ergonomic power layout: amplifiers and analogue sources on Group 1, switched-mode digital devices on Group 2.
Removes the DC component present on the mains, reducing heating and hum in the transformers of your equipment and of the conditioner itself.
Suppresses high- and low-frequency interference through controlled leakage inductance and a balanced, centre-tapped output, improving detail and soundstage depth.
Protection against impulse interference and voltage spikes. A ballast-resistor soft start tames inrush current, a thermal circuit breaker guards the unit, and each transformer disconnects at 90 °C and reconnects at 75 °C.
A rigid chassis built with composite materials to minimise micro-vibrations, designed to keep stray electromagnetic radiation to a minimum.
European quality with control at every stage of production, from transformer winding to final assembly and testing.
The DT-3600 is equipped with twelve Schuko outlets: eight high-current outlets in Group 1 (3300 W total) for power amplifiers and analogue sources, and four in Group 2 (300 W total) for digital devices, plus a dedicated control and protection panel. Select a number to see what each part does.
Powers the main 3300 V∙A balancing transformer. Protected by a 16 A thermal circuit breaker.
Independently switches the 300 V∙A Group 2 transformer. Protected by a 1.5 A thermal circuit breaker.
Turns the front-panel meter illumination on or off.
Engages the integrated DC blocker when DC offset is present on your mains, eliminating transformer hum.
16 A inlet, 220–240 VAC, 50/60 Hz. Pair with the Audes Power Cable C19.
Eight CEE 7/3 sockets fed by the main balancing transformer: 3300 V∙A total for amplifiers and analogue sources.
Four CEE 7/3 sockets on a separate 300 V∙A transformer for switched-mode devices: streamers, DACs, displays.
Placement note: despite its power rating the DT-3600 is built to minimise electromagnetic radiation, but it should not be placed close to turntables or phono stages.
Clean power is not only about extraordinary sound; it transforms the picture too. Free of interference and supply instability, your projector or display reveals its full potential.
LP Magazine
The German vinyl and high-end magazine LP Magazin put the Audes DT-3600 through an extended listening test. Here is a summary of what the reviewer found.
Compared with running the system straight from a standard wall socket, the reviewer reported a wider sense of space, livelier dynamics and more expressive vocals.
The turntable, which uses a switched-mode supply, sounded best on the separate Group 2 outlets, while the phono stage and integrated amplifier thrived on Group 1. Moving a notebook power supply onto Group 1 audibly dulled the sound, which the reviewer took as evidence that the isolation between the groups does its job.
The review highlights the heavy, well-damped housing, high-quality German-made sockets with clean internal wiring, and the switchable DC blocker. At 61 kg, it notes, this is not a unit you move casually.
The reviewer called the DT-3600 the most ambitious Audes mains filter to date, with the split into two circuits delivering an extra step in sound quality over single-transformer designs.
The reviewer concluded that the DT-3600's split-circuit design brings a real further gain in sound, and kept the unit in his listening room for good.

For maximum current transfer and minimal losses, we recommend pairing the DT-3600 with the Audes power cable designed for its 16 A inlet.
The DT-3600 ships with a standard power cable; the Audes cable is sold separately.
Audes power cables were created for listeners who refuse compromise. Hand-assembled with obsessive care, each cable embodies a singular mission: to dissolve the boundary between playback and performance, placing you directly inside the recording space.
When paired with the DT-3600 Ultimate Power Conditioner, a profound synergy takes hold. The DT-3600’s dual-toroidal architecture provides the pure, balanced foundation; the Audes C19 cable ensures that this massive, uncolored current reaches the conditioner with absolute zero loss. Together, they create a seamless conduit of clean power, acting not as two separate links, but as one harmonious ecosystem.
At the cable’s core lies continuous-cast, monocrystalline copper arranged in a proprietary geometry that rejects electromagnetic interference and mechanical micro-vibrations. Precision-machined contact pins and custom-damped dielectric shielding let the DT-3600 draw instantaneous dynamic surges effortlessly, keeping noise floors at dead silence.
Refined through exhaustive listening trials, this partnership renders the entire power delivery virtually invisible. What remains is only the unadulterated truth of the performance: deeper blacks, explosive dynamic contrasts, and effortless musicality.
It isn’t merely power delivery. It is pure current elevated to an art form.
Every DT-3600 is engineered and hand-built in Estonia around transformers wound in our own facility, the same in-house expertise behind nine decades of Audes audio.
