Kemp Elektroniks SNS PLUG (Shunt Noise Suppressor)

[gerrittube]

Hi,

Has anyone ever tried this device? The maker claims a lot on his website https://www.kempelektroniksshop.nl/sns-plug:

• Shunt filter, no dynamic restriction possible
• Suppresses mains pollution
• Super fast reaction speed covering an ultra-wide frequency range, up to almost 1 Gigahertz
• Lowers the line impedance
• 7 stages provide the best performance
• 3-way over voltage and surge protector
• Incorporates Creaktiv Systems chips and ci2p treatment
• Potted in gems plus minerals and a resin to prevent microphonic effects
• Can be combined with ALL other audio mains related products without any problem
• Multiple SNS PLUGS intensify the effect
• Easy ‘plug and play’ installation

Regards, Gerrit

Easy ‘plug and play’ installation

• You could add: plug and start a house fire, with the notorious Rifa caps...

It looks like a RF shunt; I do not see the usefulness of the inductor in this context, but it is not the first device of that kind; some feature a LED when they absorb a transient, some cost a small fortune and do not even need a physical connection with the device they are supposed to protect.
This one could have a moderate effect, but a regular filter would be more effective.
If you want a common-mode version (which is probably more useful with switch-mode devices), have a look here:

It is active, and it actually works....
