Esprit's Nova is a room device rather than a cable. Its subject is the listening room itself, and the electromagnetic pollution of a modern home that reaches every part of a system there.
The Esprit Nova room device uses proprietary Esprit technology to generate a subtle electric polarization field that radiates into the listening environment. Esprit states that the Nova reduces unwanted high-frequency interference in rooms of up to about 100 m² (1,076 sq ft).
Polarization, in the room
Esprit has long worked with polarization in its cables, applying a continuous voltage to their insulators from the Eterna range upward. With the Nova, the company takes the idea of polarization out of the cable and into the room.
Made in Confolens
Like the rest of the Esprit catalog, the Nova is designed and assembled by hand in Esprit's workshop in Confolens, Charente.
What Esprit says it does
Esprit's price list says the Nova improves sound quality by enhancing detail, micro-dynamics, soundstage and tonal smoothness.
The interference the Nova targets, according to Esprit, includes 60 Hz mains fields radiating from the wiring in walls and ceilings, Wi-Fi signals, mobile phone emissions and the general EMI and RFI of any modern living space. Esprit describes the Nova as filtering this ambient electromagnetic noise so that an audio system can perform more cleanly.
Planning for your room
One Nova is specified for a room of up to about 100 m², so consider the size of your listening room when you plan for it. Write to us about your room and system if you would like help deciding whether the Nova suits it. The Nova sits alongside the cables and Volta power strips in our Esprit collection.
