ERCO
The name ERCO (not pronounced airco but ˈert͡so) is Esperanto for ore. They took to Esperanto for the name inspired by its creator Ludwik Lejzer Zamenhof, who used to live around the corner from their offices near Warsaw. Zamenhof started developing Esperanto in his childhood while still in school, pursuing peace around the world where one language would bring together humankind. Ferrum want to do the same through pure and honest music reproduction. In the end it brings peace to the mind.
Unique output cable design: two wires delivering the power and two wires providing the feedback to ensure flat voltage at every moment. They named this technique Ferrum Power Link (FPL) and it eliminates the harmful effects of the cable's resistance effectively improving transient response. The current delivery speed at the powered device's input is significantly improved.
ERCO comes with a carefully selected DC power adapter. To get the most out of ERCO you can connect it with HYPSOS using proprietary Ferrum Power Link DC power cable. This FPL cable can be ordered separately.
