Thank you for purchasing the Gemini mains
power filter and distribution system. The unit
you now hold has been designed specifically to
work with the highest quality audio and audio
visual components. This sophisticated unit
eliminates product cross contamination through
sophisticated shunt filters coupled with our
proprietary gating system and ‘Polaris-X’
technology. Gemini features 1-8 high quality
outlets rated at 2300 Watts, suitable for virtually
all components. The compact design also
offers easy ‘plug-n-play’ installation and can be
safely used with all components.
Position the Gemini so that the ‘IsoTek’ logo is
facing you and readable. To the left of the unit
on the edge is an earth post and IEC inlet,
which takes the power from your wall socket.
You should also notice an LED indicator light
mounted toward the top centrally on this face.
When the unit is connected to a mains power
supply this light will illuminate giving indication
that the Gemini is fully powered and functional.
The top of the unit features 2, 4, 6 or 8 high
quality unswitched outlets, dependent on which
model you have. These accept any brand of
mains cable. We do however strongly
recommend a high quality shielded cable. Your
equipment should be powered by these outlets.
Although the Gemini can be positioned in a
number of environments we recommend that
the unit be wall mounted using our dedicated
bracket system. If this is not viable, then
position the unit so that the LED indicator light
is visible and the unit is not covered by cabling,
soft furnishings or positioned near heat
sources, such as radiators or air ducts. Do not
let liquids spill onto the unit. If this should
happen, immediately switch of the unit at the
wall socket, wait for at least one minute, unplug
all other cables and return the unit to your
nearest authorised IsoTek dealer.
Overview The LED indicator is not illuminated and the
unit gives no power.
Check that the mains inlet fuse is intact.
This will be located in the drawer of the
IEC socket at the rear of the unit on the
left hand side. If there is not a fuse located
or you have used up your supply please
contact your local stockist or email,
[email protected] so that we
can forward you a free replacement.
Check that the mains cable is securely
plugged into the unit and the wall socket.
Check the fuse within the plug is intact.
On rare occasions the fuse at the main
distribution fuse box may also need to be
checked.

& safety
IsoTek was formed in July 2001 with the vision
to create high quality mains power distribution
units that moved beyond current conventions.
Through careful market analysis and extensive
research we were able to launch products that
moved power distribution forward to be
recognised as an integral part of any audio or
home theatre system. Our products continue
to lead the way in their field, with our latest GII
range pushing the boundries of filter
performance still further. The GII products
galvanise our commitment to the pursuit of
excellence at every level.
We believe all products benefit from having
their own clean power supply, therefore we
advocate the concept of using (smaller)
individual filters on each component, with
these being specifically designed for their
purpose. This dramatically reduces and stops
component cross contamination and dispels
the belief that one size fits all. Every single
component used in our designs is extensively
tested for quality and reliability. Our circuit
designs are extensively ‘field’ tested before
coming to market so we can guarantee the
widest compatibility with third party products.
Within the market of premium audio it is vital
to offer exceptional performance and value for
money. Products must be made to the highest
of standards, be reliable and attractive. A
manufacturer must offer exceptional service,
dealer training, support, and undertake the
very best in promotion design and literature. If
all these elements are in place customers
should experience at every stage. Our
continual quest is to meet these challenges
wisely.
All of our products are professionally designed,
manufactured and hand built in the UK. Deep
consideration is given to style, functionality,
performance and value for money.
