Audiolab DC Block (Black)
Mains Conditioner
£99
Delivering ‘clean’ power to your amp, the Audiolab DC Blocker reduces transformer noise, letting you hear more of the music and less of the electronics.
Direct Current Blocker – banish the hum
DC (Direct Current) signals within the mains current may be small but can noticeably affect sound quality. As the DC current enters a toroidal power transfer it becomes saturated, reducing the transformer’s efficiency and causing audible vibration. Connecting the DC Blocker reduces the mechanical hum and restores the mechanical efficiency – letting you concentrate on the music and not the background noise.
Mains conditioner and RF filter
As well as DC removal, the DC Block also provides additional mains conditioning and RF filtering. These help reduce background noise further still, as noise from other components on the mains system (such as a fridge or dimmer switch switching on and off) is effectively filtered out.
Improves the entire system
With a quieter mains signal being feed to your amplifier, the whole system benefits. A quieter amp means less distortion relayed to other components, helping reduce distortion and enhance music dynamics.
Easy to connect
No special installation or even additional mains sockets are required to fit the DC Blocker to your system. Simply plug into your amp’s IEC power socket and then connect to the mains socket vacated by the amp’s power cable.
Styled to match your system
With its clean, crisp lines, the DC Block looks every bit as sleek as you’d expect from the Audiolab brand. Available in black or silver, the DC Block perfectly matches Audiolab’s other products and also blends well with components from other brands.

Nice small tidy box of tricks!
This product has certainly been helpful. Cleaner sound than what I was experiencing. I had a slight hum coming from the transformer in my integrated amp and this has almost eliminated the problem.
I have also noticed a difference in a cleaner signal from the mains, giving more definition in sound. Well worth a try!

I purchased this to see if it would eliminate the hum from my Rega Brio that is audible through my speakers. I wasn't really holding out much hope as I had seen mixed reviews.
I was pleasantly surprised to find that it worked and the hum has disappeared at normal listening levels.
Will it work for you, who knows? For £100 though it's well worth the punt.

Eliminates stray DC hum from my NAIM amplifier
The Audiolab DC block has effectively eliminated the annoying hum from my NAIM amp. It has also provided added focus/ separation within large, orchestral pieces. My main audio source is a NAIM CD player (which also has a slight hum), so I may buy a second DC conditioner for the player. An affordable fix. Which actually works!

Seems to work Ok
Difficult to know if working depends if there is Dc on the mains which can come and go.

Amazing product!
I was a likely dubious to buy but reading reviews and speaking with Peter at the Glasgow store I was happy to go ahead. I am so glad I did! What a noticeable difference instantly using the dc blocker. If you haven't got one already I highly recommend you will not be disappointed
