{"product_id":"synergistic-research-powercell-8-sx","title":"Synergistic Research PowerCell 8 SX AC Power Conditioner","description":"\u003ch2\u003eSynergistic Research PowerCell 8 SX\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PowerCell 8 SX is an 8-outlet AC power conditioner that brings Synergistic Research's flagship-level technology into a compact chassis machined from aircraft aluminum and carbon fibre. It uses the same EM Cell power supply platform found in the Galileo SX PowerCell, and carries over the redesigned electromagnetic cell first developed for the upcoming 20-outlet SRX PowerCell — giving it twice the EM Cell surface area of earlier PowerCell designs for stronger AC filtration. A dual-frequency Ultra Low-Frequency (ULF) generator lets you switch between Blue (voiced for acoustic instruments, vocals, and smaller-scale performances) and Red (voiced for large-scale and electronic music) settings to match your system and listening preference. Ships with a 5-foot Foundation SX 10 AWG power cable, with additional Foundation and Atmosphere-series cable upgrades available. As an authorized Synergistic Research dealer in Toronto, Canada, Vinyl Sound can help you choose between the PowerCell 8 SX and the rest of the PowerCell lineup for your system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0116\/1773\/0617\/files\/PC8sxRed-scaled.jpg?v=1783398696\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Inside\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8x Purple 2.0 UEF outlets with two-stage Quantum Treatment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGalileo SX PCB with UEF Purple Capacitors and a 3x more powerful, multi-setting Dual Channel ULF generator\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2nd Gen SRX folded EM Cells plus a horizontal-plane EM Cell — 709.67 sq cm combined cell area\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInternal active linear power supply for biasing the EM Cells\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGraphene UEF treatment throughout the unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e99.995% pure silver ground strap with connection port for the SR Active Ground Block\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-carbon steel \/ aluminum Ground Plane chassis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e32-amp Neutrik PowerCon input connector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes 5ft Foundation SX 10 AWG power cable; Foundation XL, Atmosphere SX, Galileo LUX, and SRX XL cable upgrades available\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable in North American, Schuko, UK, and Australian outlet configurations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand-built in the Synergistic Research California factory\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0116\/1773\/0617\/files\/PC8SXINTL-scaled.jpg?v=1783398696\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRecognition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PowerCell lineup has been recognized by several audio publications over the years, including Blue Note Award selections in 2024 and 2025, TAS (The Absolute Sound) Editor's Choice and Golden Ear awards, an RIHPA award, and an Audio Bacon Editor's Choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0116\/1773\/0617\/files\/PC8SXwAGBSX-scaled.jpg?v=1783398696\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWiring\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12 AWG Silver Matrix\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOutput connectors (US)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8x Purple 2.0 UEF outlets, two-stage Quantum Treatment\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOutput connectors (International)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8x Purple 2.0 UEF Schuko outlets, two-stage Quantum Treatment\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInput connector\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1x Neutrik 32-amp PowerCon\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEM Cell area (horizontal plane)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e387 sq cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEM Cell area (2x folded carbon fibre, Gen 2 SRX)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e709.67 sq cm total\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGround strap\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e99.995% pure silver, 62 sq cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4.5\"H x 12\"W x 6\"D\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e11 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInput rating (US)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20A \/ 125V\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInput rating (International, EU\/AU\/UK)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16A \/ 250V\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIncluded power cable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5ft Foundation SX 10 AWG\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePowerCell 8 SX FAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the Synergistic Research PowerCell 8 SX do?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt's an 8-outlet AC power conditioner that filters and conditions power for your entire system, using EM Cell and ULF generator technology derived from Synergistic Research's Galileo SX and SRX flagship models.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is the PowerCell 8 SX different from the PowerCell ONE and TWO?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"\/products\/synergistic-research-powercell-one\"\u003ePowerCell ONE\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/products\/synergistic-research-powercell-two\"\u003ePowerCell TWO\u003c\/a\u003e are single-purpose extension conditioners for one or two remote components.
