R1 w/WPC-Z Covers

About the R1 w/WPC-Z Covers

The Oyaide R-1 is a high-end AC power outlet designed for both 15A and 20A plugs, featuring a body made from 30% glass filled PBT for excellent machining, electrical isolation, thermal dissipation, and vibration damping. The contacts are beryllium copper with platinum and palladium plating for superior conductivity and durability. The R-1 outlet improves holding power of blades and reduces vibration for enhanced audio performance. The WPC-Z is an optional mounting frame and faceplate specifically designed for the R-1 and SWO Ultimo series outlets. It consists of a 13mm thick aluminum alloy base plate for mechanical rigidity and a 1.3mm thick carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) faceplate that provides vibration damping, static protection, and electromagnetic shielding. The hybrid materials with different resonance frequencies perform passive vibration suppression to maximize outlet performance. The WPC-Z frame and faceplate fit precisely without gaps, reinforcing the wall surface and improving the overall sound quality by reducing noise and vibration. This combination is highly regarded among audiophiles as a premium solution for AC power receptacles in high-fidelity audio systems.
