Features of Crystal 6.1
strong points
Employs the well-established “MIS (Mechanical Isolation System) ” structure
The body, which consists of three parts, has changed the TOP cover from steel to aluminum, and the BOTTOM chassis and sub-chassis from aluminum to steel for the Force bar series.
As a result, both Crystal3.1/6.1 have increased in weight by about 20% (Crystal3.1: 550g ⇒ 665g) and (Crystal6.1: 907g ⇒ 1080g).
In addition, the BOTTOM chassis, which is directly affected by vibrations from the floor (installation surface), has not only changed the material mentioned above, but also increased the thickness from 1.6mm to 2.0mm, and has excellent shock and vibration absorption. The original molded Hanenite (made of inner and outer rubber) has been changed to a TAOC vibration absorption sheet.
These further improve the vibration suppression effect of the MIS and increase the rigidity of the entire body, contributing greatly to a sense of stability and high sound quality when setting.

Internal wiring material
The wiring material of the power line has been changed from 4N oxygen-free copper to tin-plated 1.6 mm, while inheriting the single wire material that actively utilizes the skin effect. Straight wiring is used for lossless transmission from input to output.
In the soldering of each part, we carefully select and select the ones containing special ingredients, and our specially selected meisters work with their skilled skills.
high usability
Crystal 6.1 is a model that can provide an efficient number of outlets for heavy users with complex system configurations and many audio equipment, and is equipped with 6 3P outlets with grounding poles + 1 2P outlet.
AC adapters come in a wide variety of sizes, shapes, and insertion directions, and have the disadvantage of blocking adjacent outlets. It is possible to use an adapter. (Follows the functions of the Force bar series)
In addition, the compact and slim body that meets user needs is very advantageous for accessories installed on the back of a narrow audio system, and it is possible to clean up the wiring around the power supply.
The ground terminal, which is unfamiliar to other manufacturers’ power taps, is connected to the ground line of the internal wiring and the exterior case, and can be used with 2P outlets as a connection destination for outlet plugs with ground wires found in power cables such as analog players. to function effectively.
Unique linking function
Crystal 6.1 has its inlet standardized to the international standard: IEC60320 C14, and can be connected and expanded with other Crystal series (Crystal 3P/C1P, etc.) equipped with a connecting inlet plug (IEC60320 C13). Although both the body size and weight have been changed, it is possible to connect with the Force bar series (Force bar3P/S1P, etc.)*1.
In addition, when connecting with the Crystal series, which is equipped with a connecting inlet plug, a dedicated connecting plate*2 is prepared to improve the connection, and it can firmly suppress looseness and rattling at the joint.
The Crystal series will continue to introduce a wide variety of power strips by function, making it possible to build a highly expandable power strip system that matches individual audio systems.
*1 A dedicated connection plate cannot be used for the Crystal series + Force bar series
*2 A dedicated connection plate is attached only to the Crystal series equipped with a connection inlet plug (Crystal 3P/C1P, etc.)
design
Crystal 3.1/6.1 (Crystal series) was designed with the concept of clarity and delicacy as the name suggests.
The image of the Force bar series was rugged and robust, but the black tone was changed to silver.
BOTTOM chassis and sub-chassis are also unified in silver color. In particular, the bending method of the BOTTOM chassis has also been changed, creating a sense of unity with the TOP cover. The product type name placed on the top cover is also modern and stylish, with thin lines to create a sense of delicacy and accuracy.
The window frames through which outlets and inlets can be seen are designed and produced by original cutting dies used in the chassis processing process. By changing from the conventional square window to a round square window that is one size larger, it also has a chillerism that gives a glimpse of the mechanism of MIS.
The simple design of Crystal 3.1/6.1 has earned the title of “CREATIVE POWER ACCESSORIE” as a creative power accessory unique to KOJO TECHNOLOGY.
