RSX Power8™ (with I.C.E. Cryo Process) Multi-Outlet Power Box
RSX Power8™ (with I.C.E. Cryo Process) Multi-Outlet Power Box
Power8 (with I.C.E. Cryo Process) focuses on just the key characteristics that audio purists want – simplicity, high-grade components, durability, and near-perfect sonic neutrality. Power8 is fully shielded, suitable for both 110 and 220 Volt operation, has won two 2020 performance awards, and easily accommodates High-End AC power cords, like those from RSX and others that feature large and hefty connectors. Power8 features firm-firm grip solid copper AC outlet sockets, even better and tighter than those specified for hospital use.
The I.C.E. Cryo Process is a Cryogenic Treatment for audio cables and electronics that works by decreasing the thin gaps within the metal components. This lowers the amount of artifacts in the electrical current, sometimes referred to as noise. Studies have shown that, by lowering the noise, a truer signal is received leading to better overall performance and durability of Audio equipment.
Cryogenic treatment is known to have numerous beneficial effects on electronics including:
- Extending the life of circuit boards in military applications
- Reducing residual stress between the layers of thin film magnetic memory wafers
- Decreasing hysteresis in transformers
- Increasing contact life on relays, circuit breakers, and switches
- Increasing the Schottky contact barrier height
- Reducing device reverse leakage current
Available colors include black or silver anodized aluminum.

A Perfect Pair
The Power8™AC Power Box is one of RSX’s best-selling products. It seems that nobody ever has enough high-quality power outlets, and Power8 is a great way to add more. It needs a power cord to connect it to the wall, though, and BENCHMARK ER-20 is an easy and affordable way to get some of the kind of award-winning sound that Bob Levi described as “…indistinguishable from my $3,500 and $7,000 power conditioners..” in his 1/29/2020 Positive Feedback Power8 review.
