It might seem madness to have a mains cable that’s powered by another mains cable, but it works. Ed Selley reveals all

Up until this point, the products we’ve seen from Titan Audio have been examples of relatively conventional engineering thinking carefully applied to good-quality ingredients rather than anything decidedly radical, but this is something of a break with tradition.

The FFT module is designed to work with Titan’s mains cables, all of which will be updated with the means to make use of it as a rolling change beginning with the Helios and Eros ranges. FFT stands for Force Field Technology and marks a step-change in the handling of RFI and other airborne interference that affects mains performance. The cables still make use of shielding and dielectric technology as they did before, but Titan Audio says these are a ‘passive’ defense against interference.

A compact block, the FFT attaches to a connector that runs from the IEC end of the mains lead and then straps to the cable itself via a supplied Velcro strap. The module then generates a field around the cable that prevents interference making it to the passive defenses that the cable is fitted with.
