ground boxes
Please scroll down for cables, accessories, and power management
Tellus
The Tellus offers three dedicated ground points. This allows for up to a maximum of six ground cables to be simultaneously attached to the ground station. Until the introduction of our Silver Tellus, the Tellus was our reference product for many many years. Its ability & capacity to lower the noise floor, when used with our dedicated ground cables, can be quite incredible.
Weight 15 Kg W 43cm - H 12cm - D 31cm
Note : The Tellus or Silver Tellus is not designed to replace the protective ground on your electrical mains !
Silver Tellus
The Silver Tellus has four dedicated outlets and can handle up to eight devices. In addition to the enhanced design of the Silver Tellus, it also includes 30% more Silver in its specialist mineral mix. All of these advancements have resulted in a significant improvement in the effectiveness of the Silver Tellus to reduce noise and gainbetter dynamic's.
Weight 22 KgW 43cm - H 14cm - D 31cm
Note : The carefull choice of the "Ertha" cables used with the Silver Tellus is critical in obtaining its full potential in your system.
Atlantis Tellus
When looking to extend the performance of our Silver Tellus we looked at developing a new product from the ground up. After extend testing we can now proudly present the Atlantis Tellus. The Atlantis Tellus has only one outlet and is more of a "supercharger" to the Silver Tellus rather than a stand alone ground box (Atlantis can not be used on its own). The Atlantis, with its 10mm solid silver connector, silver conductors, plates and all new mineral mixture - delivers exactly the solution required of our design brief : darker backgrounds, even quiter noise floor, leading to a more natural, airy detailed sound. The Atlantis should be placed on top of the Silver Tellus and connected with a special dedicated cable ( this is included with the Atlantis). For those using an entire Entreq cable loom the Atlantis also increases the capacity of Silver Tellus thus allowing more ground cables to be attached without loss or compromise of performance.

Poseidon
The Poseidon can be best described as three totally independent Olympus Minimus in one neat enclosure. With its three pure solid Silver binding posts the Poseidon offers a tremendous level of performance & an almost limitless set of options. One option in particular is the ability to now Ground each channel of your amplifier, via the negative speaker terminals, while simultaneously & independently being able to Ground your Pre-amp or Dac at the same time. This option alone offers an unrivalled level of performance yet to be attained in any other single Entreq Ground box. This is just one option, please let your imagination and your dealer take you further.
The Olympus groundboxes are fundamentally different from both the Tellus & Silver Tellus. The idea for the Olympus was sparked when we designed the “ supercharging “ qualities of the Atlantis MinimUs & Tellus . There were so many unique and interesting details on this development that when we decided to make Olympus we had to free ourselves to implement all that we had learned with no fixed parameters. It was exciting, almost like starting a fresh. Poseidon can also be a good choice for those who find the Olympus Tellus either physically difficult to accomodate but want the Olympus benefits and where the single outlet on the Olympus MinimUs doesn't offer enough flexibility with connectivity.

Olympus Tellus
The Olympus groundboxes are different from Tellus/Silver Tellus in many ways.
When we developed the “Supercharger line” Atlantis we found many interesting details. Unfortunately we could not simply implement these ideas directly into theSilver Tellus without fundamentallychanging the architecture of the product.
With the Olympus line we were totally free to implement all of our combined knowledge, using no fixed parameters to re-design from the ground up.
So in the Olympus Tellus we have seven grounding posts and employ an all new mineral-mix. As well as a reduction of the quantity in some metal particulates. There is also the inclusion of some all new metals, one of which is Magnesium.
This together with six all new solid Silver binding posts, instead of our normal solid Copper posts, gave us an even better noice reduction. In the Olympus Tellus we have also employed one special solid Copper binding post that is completely isolated from the other six Silver grounding posts. This can be used for connecting a specific new mains Eatha cable. This can give a direct connection to the protective ground found in your mains sockets. This reduce's the noise floor significantly! It can of course also be used for other purposes.
The Olympus Tellus offers the same overall sonic signature as the Olympus MinimUs. Deep and massive low frequencies while still retaining the air and texture in the wider spectrum. The separate outlet, allowing direct connection to a wall socket, ( the protective ground) will give you a whole new experience. Connection to the protective ground gives an even darker background and will let you explore more subtle nuance and details within the music.
To be honest when we introduced Tellus 2010, we could never have dreamt that we could take grounding so far. We are just delighted that we have been able to produce something as good as the Olympus Tellus.

Minimus
The Minimus has only a single dedicated ground point. It's capacity is generally limited to either a couple of dedicated ground cables, to ground your equipment, or for the use with our own signal cables. This can be with our digital, USB, analogue or speaker cables. Please seek the advise of your retailer - distributor on specificapplications & optimisation of our products.
Weight 2 kgW 17cm - H 8cm - D 19cm
Note : Where possible please ground digital & analogue cables to separate ground points.
Silver Minimus
The Silver Minimus, like its sibling the Minimus, has only 1 outlet. However it incorporates the same enhancements and mineral mix as the Silver Tellus, thus offering a significantly more effective grounding than the standard Minimus. Even a brief exposure to the Silver Minimus will quickly validate its benefit. Whether use it solely for our Ertha grounding or with our unique signal cables.
Weight 2KgW 17cm - H 8cm - D 19cm
Note : As with the Silver Tellus the choice of "Ertha" cable used with the Silver Minimus is critical to obtaining its full potential.
Atlantis Minimus
The Atlantis MinimUs works in the same fashion as its bigger brother the Atlantis Tellus i.e it provides a cleaner and more stable grounding platform to a current Entreq grounding box. This both boosts capacity, as well as performance, to an already established Entreq grounding system. Just like its bigger brother the Atlantis Tellus - the Atlantis MinimUs comes supplied with a short & specifically designed umbilical cable( this is included in the purchase of the Atlantis MinimUs) that allows you to connect directly on to the back of one of our dedicated grounding box's.
The Atlantis MinimUs is ideally used to enhance the performance of a Silver MinimUs. The Atlantis MinimUs is not a stand alone ground box and should NOT be used in this way. Unlike other Entreq products, where experimenting is positively encouraged, both Atlantis Tellus & MinimUs should be used in a specific fashion to obtain the best results from an already established Entreq grounding system.

Olympus Minimus
The Olympus groundboxes are different from Minimus /Silver Minimus in many ways. When we developed the “Supercharger line” Atlantis we found many interesting details. Unfortunately we could not simply implement these ideas directly into the Silver MinimUs or Silver Telluswithout fundamentally changing the product.
With the Olympus line we were totally free to implement all of our combined knowledge, using no fixed parameters to re-design from the ground up.
So in the Olympus line we have an all new mineral-mix, as well as a reduction of the quantity of some metal particulates, there is the inclusion of some all new metals ( for example Magnesium). Olympus MinimUs, like our other MinimUs, has only one outlet but in this case it is now solid Silver. Needless to say it is now the top model in the Mini Groundboxes.
Olympus is primarily designed for ground Pre-amps and Dac's. But it can also do a very good job with the grounding of our cables and our CleanUs line. The most significant difference in performance, compared to the Silver Minimus, is more texture and air in the lower frequency as well as more detail and better overall flow in the music.
Like our other ground boxes it is made of Oak but with the Olympus you can also order it in a dark Oak finish.

Earth Cables
We manufacture an extensive range of our own dedicated Eartha cables. The ground cables handle very weak current's and high frequencies. They are a very carefully designed and constructed range of products and not just random bits of metals wrapped together and labelled " Ertha cables". For more information, please visit our section on “Cables”.

Vibb Eaters
‘Vibb eaters’.... for electronic equipment.
These have a special sand mixture which leans towards the optimisation of the magnetic characteristics. They still of course offer a greater stability to the chassis of the equipment as well as absorbing vibrations but the ‘Vibb eater’ also neutralises a part of the magnetic field from the electronic equipment. You will always have to experiment to find the optimal position for the ‘Vibb eater’ but we usually find the best place to start is closest to the power cable in-let or the products transformer.
Apparatus Feet
Feet for your equipment....really ?
When you start to think of the very small signals that are transported through, in and out as well as surrounding our electronic equipment, it shouldnt really come as much of a surprise that even the physical vibrations , gated field effects and spurious currents that are produced by relays, capacitors, transformer, powersupplies etc, as well as through the air itself, can effect & impact our audio signal. In fact with a CD player you should also take into account that it also has a mechanical element to contend with internally and that the mechanical element can in turn force the error correction circuits to work far harder, which results in further distortion.
In a speaker it is even more obvious how important it is that the speaker box is free from movement and excess energy. Simply put, the drivers generate sound waves, they move air, they compress air molecules, they vibrate - the speaker cabinet itself also has a resonance!
It is also important to note that in theory the speaker box is not supposed to move at all. It has to stand like a rock so that the energy that comes from it is pure sound and not the sound of the recoil from the speaker box itself. Imagine that you try to push a car on a frozen lake, if you are not standing firmly YOU will end up going backwards. A loudspeaker has a complex array of fundamental possible issues to overcome! We have attempted to produce products that will in most cases help support & tune the product and optimise its performance for your individual sytems overall performance.
Catfoot and Lionfoot have been a part of our range of feet for a very long time and are very effective. We have been working for many years to develop a foot that isolates and stops vibrations from the floor, equipment supports and the air - while at the same time drain vibrational, electro-magnetic energy from the equipment itself. It has taken us several years of hard work but we are pleased to introduce to you the Lynxfeet.
Lynxfeet
The Lynxfeet both drain and isolate significantly better than our old Catfoot and in our opinion is one of the most effective all round support devices on the market.
Vibration and energy is guided through the base of the foot to our proprietary sand filled tunnel-construction where the energies are directed towards the labyrinths in the side of the Lynxfoot. Here they are transformed into heat. Airborne vibrations and micro vibrations from the equipment itself are then guided down through the supporting pad on the upper surface of the Lynx foot where the energy is directed to different labyrinths in another part of the foot. This complex arrangement is to ensure that all energy paths are dealt with independently and to maintain a solid foundation.
This elaborate construct basically avoids cross contamination as well as ensuring that performance is repeatable no matter the enviroment or the support shelf material.
Cable Lifters
Victoria Cable lifters. Many say that vibrations picked up by cables being layed on the floor impacts on the sound.
All we can say is that we have many theories but have been unable to prove categorically what causes this issue ; vibrations, static electricity etc etc... we really don't know for sure! There are however definate advantages to be had with cable lifters. We have designed our own cable lifters from slim, non-magnetic material. These cable supports have specific spacing for our own cables, however this does not mean they won't work or cannot be applied to other cables. There are two versions available, the standard " naked " cable lifter or the enhanced Stillpoint ERS lined version. The ERS lining helps with the absorption of stray fields, RF and RFI on both mains cables and in particular speaker cables.
Receivus
This device works almost like an antenna, picking up multiple forms of radiation. This radiation/energy is then directed or lead away from the RecievUs itself by the connection of one of our Ertha spade to spade cables to the RecievUs, the other end is then connected to one of our groundboxes.
apollo Vibb Eaters
These use an enhanced mineral mixture which increases the performance available from this energy and vibration controlling product range. The Apollo versions are available at every weight category but in addition also offer a heavier model for very large loudspeakers or Power Amplifiers.
ES Pad
Improving upon the Lynxfeet was always going to be a very difficult job but as with all things Entreq we discovered the solution & the way forward through the developments of our other new products. Through the application of these discoveries & theories we have eventually turned those ideas into reality.
With the design of the ES Pad we have focused on the transfer of very high frequency vibrations & energy. In our design process we found that this area of the frequency spectrum had a far greater influence on actual sound quality than we would have ever thought possible.
The ES Pad is barely 35mm high and incorporates a threaded multi faceted hard acrylic base, with a mineral filled soft Pad making direct contact with the equipment or product itself.
This Isolates the equipment from the foundation of what ever it is sited upon while the direct contact of the Pad, to the equipment, drains away high frequency energy / vibrations through the mineral mixture itself, converting this energy into a harmless low level heat.
These are incredible performers with a consistent performance!
AC Wraps
AC Wrap.
In every cable that transports an alternating current a magnetic field is created. The fields are strongest where the cables are plugged in and where there are any subsequent connections. Using AC Wraps offers a calm stability to the sound, even with cheaper Power cords and cables. If you are already using more expensive cable's, we are delighted to say that no matter the brand it will work better with an AC Wrap. They do however have other interesting applications! Especially if you own a metal legged equipment support/rack? Please speak to your dealer or distributor for greater clarity on this particular application !
Mini Wrap.
These work in a similar way to the AC Wrap but are specifically designed and optimised for signal cables. Positioning along the length of any particular signal cable can elicit a tunable result. However as per the bigger AC Wrap the beginning or the end of the cable tends to be the most vulnerable. Once again it is best to work with your dealer, distributor or experienced agent for guidance in your own sysyem.
Silver AC Wrap and Mini Wraps.
Similar in overall structure and construction, these wraps are a natural extension to the performance enhancements found in the standard wraps. With particular attention given to the mineral mixture in the main pockets of the wraps themselves, as well as a dedicated ground point to further drain noise and field effects, these wraps offer an obvious and clear improvement in almost every application. Please be aware that an Ertha ground cable and ground box is required to obtain the optimal performance from this product.
Athena
Athena is a hifi rack that will be available in different configurations. And of course one of the exciting add-on options is grounding.
Athena is the result of more than 8 years development and tests. Our goal was develope and create a rack that really handle the special demands around Hi-Fi and AV placement without any limits.
The depth of shelves are 50 cm and they are available in 3 widths: Single 60 cm, Twin 114 cm and Trippel 168 cm. You also can choose between 3 levels of isolation. Level 1 have 3 crossglued layers of oak and are 21 mm thick. The cross-glued layers reduce vibrations very effective. Level 2 have 8 cross-glued layers. Between the layers we have build in a silvernet that shield/pick up radiation. On the backside of the shelf there is a silver binding post so you can connect to one of our groundboxes.
Level 3, our top model of shelfs are 49 mm thick and have 11 layers cross-glued wood an same potential for grounding as level 2.
All in all this means you always can find a solution that fit your demand.
power management
Powerus Konstantin/Challenger
Many times the simplest solutions are the best. The PowerUs range of products have no active filters of any kind! We just use the best material we know and have straight main paths with starground. You can get Powerus as Konstantin Powerus and Challenger 3 V PowerUs, incorporating either a Konstantin or Challenger 3V Powercord, as well as matching internal wiring to reduce, amongst other things, magnetic field effects, vibrations etc. In US version 6 outlets and in Schuko 4. You also have a outlet for connect to our groundboxes.
Cleanus, Silver Cleanus, Apollo Cleanus, Atlantis Cleanus
These products are completely passive mains filters. You could more accurately describe them as high frequency seperators. High frequency interference and OTHER contaminants are dramatically reduced but without ANY loss of dynamics or dynamic constraints.The result is a quiet and pitch black background. If you connect to Silver Tellus or Olympus Tellus you will get even better impact.What else would you expect from Entreq.
Powerus Apollo/Atlantis
For the person with first class musical equipment. No filters, just the best possible material's giving a very natural and easy flow in the sound. Using a hard wired Apollo/Atlantis Power cord, matching internal wiring and Furutech outlets, you are assured a direct un-interupted signal path for your electronics. Like all PowerUs products a dedicated Entreq Ground point is also available which should be connected to a Silver Tellus or Olympus Tellus. US version 6 outlets and in Schuko 4 or 6 on request.
