Neutron HiFi™ Isolator V1!
Neutron HiFi™ Isolator V1 is a portable USB-C power and data isolating device. It eliminates power noise from USB power, data signal paths and protects connected USB device from electric hazards. IP67-rated design allows to use it in a harsh environment. It can serve you as:
- Noise Eliminator by isolating ground-loop and other noise sources from the connected USB device which operation is sensitive to the noise
- USB Data Conditioner by re-clocking USB data with a high-precision and very stable internal Crystal oscillator
- Electric Hazards Protector by establishing the galvanic barrier on USB power and data paths between USB source and your valuable USB device
Reliable outside
and inside
Noise barrier
Developed to provide full isolation of the power and USB data signals. Eliminates Ground loop problem. Its ultra-low noise design addresses demanding needs for audiophile music listening experience - no ticks, pops & clicks and humming in the audio output!
Reliable Protection
Reliably protects your valuable USB device from damage by electrostatic discharge (ESD) and isolates it from abnormally high voltage on Power and Data paths for up to 60 seconds. Acts as a brick wall for all common electrostatic hazards caused by malfunctioning USB ports (especially in public places).
Plug & Play design
Just plug Isolator V1 between USB host and your another USB device and magic starts happening - your device will receive fully isolated USB signals and power up to 400 mA. If USB client device needs more power we provide USB Micro-B port for additional external power supply.

Digital and Analog domains
Isolator V1 is designed to isolate source noise galvanically from the Client in the digital and analog domains effectively allowing Client's logic to deliver expected results to you.
Digital
Isolator V1 supports isolation of up to High Speed digital signal (USB 2.0, 480 Mbps). USB data is accurately reproduced and sent to the Client without any added analog noise which could be delivered by the Host .
Analog
Advanced analog design supports harvesting of USB power (VBUS) from the Host up to 0.4A 5V. It also supports power delivery to the Client via the external connector in case Client requires more power than it can be harvested from the Host.
Unified
digital signal
USB signal conditioning
Isolator V1 will redrive received USB signal by capturing it and reproducing with applied retiming. The result will be always unified signal no matter to what Host you connect it.
Unified signal
Standardizes output USB signal by receiving it from the Host and reproducing in always unified manner: signal amplitude, phase shift, jitter.
Expected signal jitter
USB signal is re-clocked with a help of the high-precision Crystal which has great frequency tolerance and stability in the wide temperature range from -40° to +125°.
Error correction
Isolator V1 does not propagate errors in USB signal from the Host side. Therefore your USB Client is always protected from any unexpected misbehavior caused by erroneous USB signal.
Protection
for your valuable device
Surge & electrostatic shock protection
Complete isolation of digital and analog paths makes your device fully protected from the surge and electrostatic shocks when it is connected to USB via Isolator V1.
Whether it is USB socket in the airport or airplane, bus, school - these power sources are not reliable as they are exposed to the external environment. Isolator V1 eliminates the danger of burning your device by the malfunctioning USB port acting as a shield.

Ultra-low noise & low-power design
Galvanic nature of isolator allows to eliminate all noise caused by the Ground Loop which is common if you connect USB device to the PC or AC-powered non-isolated equipment.
Input noise suppression
Besides isolation Isolator V1 suppresses input power noise coming from USB host. Your USB device will get clean and stable power generated by Isolator V1 at any supported load.
Low-power design
Isolator V1 drains only up to 120 mA of additional power for operation of its internal components therefore you can use it even with your battery-powered device if it is catching a noise which then leaks to the connected USB device.
Must-have
for audiophiles
Noise elimination
Clean audio spectrum
Audio spectrum is no longer penetrated by the power noise (see the 1-st slide: [PC → Isolator V1 → DAP/DAC]) therefore audio frequencies are reproduced accurately and you do not hear any additional noise.
The audio config
of your dream
Ultra-low noise, high-precision audio
Isolator V1 removes any noise from USB path → gold-plated custom USB cables guarantee correct data flow → DAC V1 produces high precision analog audio.
Isolator V1 is a key component in this chain to guarantee absence of ground-loop and all other noise usually picked from USB connection.
It is compatible with any USB DAC with output formats up to:
- 8-channel 32-bit 1.536 Mhz PCM
- 8-channel DSD1024
Required
for your measurements
True measurement results
Precise measurements can be affected by the power noise if it inflows into the sensor and ADC areas of the device. It can be audio capturing where you really do not want to capture noise, or even cardiovascular measurement where you want to see precise values and graph. Noise can ruin results of the measurements easily.
Isolator V1 isolates USB Client from the Ground Loop, protects from Power shocks and suppresses Power noise. All these measure contribute to the true measurement results.
Noiseless, battery-like power source
Power provided by Isolator V1 can be compared to the power of the battery which is known to be noiseless. You get unpolluted frequency range for your precise and sensitive measurements which will no longer be affected by power noise factor. Isolator V1 allows to use stationary high-power PC as measurement host without a fear that measurements can be polluted by the power noise.
Versatile
power sources
Dual power design
Isolator V1 supports two power sources. It can source power from the host USB port, or it can use external power provided via USB Micro-B jack. External power can be required in case connected USB device requires more power for operation than Isolator V1 can harvest from the host USB port, or if USB connection between host and connected device is long (2m+).
We built-in convenient indication of both power states.
USB Power - Red LED
This icon indicates the condition when Isolator V1 is connected to the host USB port and is sourcing enough power for its operation. It also indicates USB data connection state - bright red if connected, pale red if just sourcing power.
Ext Power - Blue LED
This icon indicates that external power is provided via USB Micro-B jack to the connected USB client.
