Instead of letting three feet do the job, the Etreq Protectus uses the entire surface under the device to cause a greater effect.

Protectus is comprised of layers of cross-laminated timber with cavities made in a strategic pattern that is filled with mixed metal spheres of various materials and sizes. These metal spheres effectively convert vibration energies into heat. Since all metals are connected, galvanic currents are generated, forming a magnetic field that affects the electromagnetic fields within the devices.

When connecting the device’s chassis to Protectus with an Eartha cable, both mechanical micro-vibrations and high-frequency currents are drained away to Protectus, which becomes an attractive point for high-frequency debris. By connecting the device’s chassis to the electrical ground, there is a constant flow in Protectus.

The Entreq Protectus comes with a dedicated ground cable which has a hook at one end to connect to the Protectus itself and a special connector to connect to the chassis of the component placed on the unit.

Protectus is available in three different levels – 1, 2 and 3, and each level at three different sizes – Medium, Large, and Extra-Large. The size relates to the width of Protectus (see dimensions below) and the level relates to the weight of component you will be placing on to Protectus. Heavier components will generally benefit from a higher level of Protectus.

The Level 1 shelf consists of Tri laminated cross planes of Oak, internal pockets of inhibiting magnetic materials and Stainless-Steel ground point. The Level 2 shelf features six cross-laminated planes of Oak, larger internal pockets, featuring Tungsten mix for greater capacity than Level 1 version, also with an uprated Copper ground point. The level three shelf takes things even further with 10 cross laminated planes of Oak, larger internal pockets, featuring Tungsten mix for even greater capacity than Level 2 version, also features pure Silver internals & ground point.

Entreq Technologies Used:

Tungsten Inside: The Entreq range of products bearing the Tungsten Inside mark contain a unique mineral mix that features Tungsten granules. Entreq’s own research has found this specific material to offer even greater performance when used in their grounding applications.
