Multi Award Winning Conditioner

The annual What Hi-Fi Awards have been recognised and trusted around the world for almost 30 years. They provide a roll-call of the hottest home-entertainment products, the awards have even been credited with making or breaking a manufacturer’s product. Designed for hi-fi and home cinema systems, the LINDY 6 Way Mains Conditioner Power Strip provides six sockets with surge protection and mains conditioning, which helps to reduce electronic interference that can adversely affect the quality of audio and video signals.

Although we didn’t win the Readers’ award our Mains Conditioner did face competition from products such as Spotify and the iPhone so we don’t feel so bad. Recognition from What Hi-Fi’s readers that our mains conditioner has made a difference to their home-entertainment systems is high praise indeed.

In its original review of the LINDY mains conditioner back in December 2008, What Hi-Fi noted that “even hardened sceptics would struggle not to notice an improvement…from this fabulous product”. Since then the conditioner, has been subjected to a “blind test” by three What Hi-Fi readers, in which one reader commented, “Anyone who wouldn’t spend that (to buy the LINDY Mains Conditioner) ought to have their kit taken away from them”.

Don't lose essential ports!

The new LINDY HDMI 360 Degree Adapter is the latest addition to our line of 360 degree adapters range. These devices are ideal for users who find that connecting bulky HDMI connectors or heavy-duty cables can block adjacent ports on their devices.

The HDMI 360 Degree Adapter can swivel and rotate in almost any direction. This allows users to choose the perfect connection angle of a HDMI cable so that it doesn’t obstruct any other connections. This small and compact male to female HDMI adapter can extend a HDMI port just enough to enable easy access to the adjacent ports. This means that connecting a HDMI cable no longer impacts on performance, the ability to connect other devices or becomes an annoyance itself.

On lots of newer equipment many ports are too close together to be able to deal with high-end HDMI connectors which are often bulkier than standard ones. As the line between TV, gaming and computing becomes increasingly blurred, losing the ability to connect to just one port can be very frustrating as most users need every port they can possibly access.

The LINDY HDMI 360 Degree Adapter provides a simple solution to freeing-up these much-needed ports so users get the most out of their equipment and their setups.
