What’s Really Sabotaging Your Home Theater (and How to Fix It)

When you invest in premium home technology like immersive audio, lifelike visuals, and smart devices, you expect flawless performance. But there’s a hidden factor that can quietly diminish that experience, one most people never even think about: dirty power.

Dirty power occurs when interference or voltage fluctuations travel through your outlets. This electrical noise is created by other devices in your home, from refrigerators to Wi-Fi routers, and it’s constantly running in the background. You might not hear it, but it can cause buzzing or humming in your speakers, flickering or distortion in your video, and even wear down the sensitive components inside your devices, shortening their lifespan.

At Austere, we recently introduced a new testing tool called the Noise Sniffer. This tool helps us detect and measure the electrical noise that runs through standard outlets and surge protectors.

When plugged into a standard surge protector, the Noise Sniffer produces a loud, static-filled buzz — a clear sign of interference. But when you plug it into an Austere Power surge protector, that harsh noise all but disappears. The result is silence. Watch this video to hear what clean power sounds like:

What you’re hearing is the difference our PureFiltration® technology makes. It filters out the electrical noise before it ever reaches your devices, delivering clean, consistent power that preserves performance and protects your investment.

Austere Power products are engineered for more than protection; they’re built for performance. Each model pairs advanced filtration and safety with a sleek, modern design that complements your setup. With intelligent USB charging, premium materials, and our industry-leading Component Guarantee, Austere delivers peace of mind and performance in one.

Great technology deserves great power. Don’t let interference stand in the way of performance. Experience clean power once, and you’ll never settle for less.
