一般進口的壁插為何常被音響玩家所詬病，原因無它就是「對聲音、系統不滿」，而它只能負責過電之用，這個「點」若是質量差，過電的接觸面有限、電磁場就會混亂、電通分子量也會不流暢，電將無法順暢無阻的傳輸至末端，頻寬也將產生能量不足等……不良狀態。而音響專用電源壁插，因考究每個環節設計，包含「金屬接插件」的接觸點的強度、緊密度、面積，還有導體、電鍍、結構、抑振、介電、材質等……，周邊的配合，都是安定電流、接收全頻寬的要素。而要達到絶對隔離作用，就必須做到：「一、阻擋外來竄入的電磁干擾。二、讓導電性的獲得絕佳保障。三、瞬間電流爬升速度躍進。」，這些都是在解決音響系統衰聲中不可或缺的重中之重。而貴金屬電鍍作用在於保護導體穩定工作，提供音響級電能、表現出細膩顯實、全頻寬出奇效益的質量。而高密度彈性塑殼，同樣有著絕不可忽視的條件，優越的介電質、強度值、絕緣值等……，就算經年累月的使用，MA靜神都能保有二十年以上的完整性能使用期，良好的導體、結構、設計、製程，可預期的內阻將會極低，與極速的均溫性表現，這完整豐沛的全頻率能量，絕對不是一句「好」就可得。一般的家用插座礙於生產成本限制，塑料通常不會太講究，對於污磁完全沒有抵抗力、加上接插金屬接點小、阻抗高，容易產生升溫反應，而且銅質處理簡化、供電效率低，當然也不會有電鍍層保護，久了表面就容易產生氧化，造成二次阻抗升高，這也是一般家用插座需要十年一換的主因之一，更重的是這類插座出來的聲音，就是單薄、沒有力量，聲音質感粗糙、場面出不來，所以才會讓人詬病，明明器材、喇叭不差，聲音表現就是出不來，最後才發現原來是插座不及格。對於音響系統有著高標要求的玩家們，這立竿見影的巨大差異，就是最有意義的升級要件，長久以來追求的高密度音樂訊息量、全頻寬完整的極致電源，想要擁有就是這麼簡單。
我們在2011年開發出高性能的「AG-P (Analog) / AG-Q (Digital) 隔離電源插座」，直至今日這兩款插座，還是難以被超越，可說是MA靜神的傳奇，當年以極盡苛求的工藝，從外殼模具、金屬導材、打磨方式、電鍍配方、組裝步驟等等…都錙銖必較，特殊的鈹銅合金傳導核心，更採用少見繁工的五爪夾片設計，佐以細膩的打磨與貴金屬電鍍，其中還特別要求配合的電鍍廠，使用MA靜神指定的「精密電子級電鍍水」，不惜製作成本、也要把東西做到最好。
12年後，現代音響技術進展神速，所以我們為這兩款插座做了一點升級，稱之為「1.5 GEN」。為其做了三大方向的升級：一、施以緻優獨特電鍍工藝：挑選最高級別的電子級電鍍液，並為電鍍廠建構絕佳用電環境。二、接地絕緣再提升：將接地絕緣片的介電耐壓係數提升1000V、吸熱，聲音表現更佳純淨、安靜。三、入線孔調音柱加持：我們簡稱它Turning Tool(調音柱)，有效阻止導電板諧振、強化結構穩定，同時防止磁場外洩。其中，新舊電鍍的差異之大，先不論聆聽體驗，光就外觀用肉眼就能看出色澤度的不同，金屬光澤感更加耀眼，光面的細膩度更加豐潤。加上這次「1.5 GEN」同時修改了夾層絕緣板的絕緣係數，同時附贈了「入線孔調音柱」，用來填滿線徑空孔，讓插座中的電場凝聚、結構安定、電磁無染，實際在我們實驗室裡聆聽新舊版本，很明顯容易就能分辨出聲音差異，「1.5 GEN」版聲音更勁、更穩、更沉，聲音的更加豐澤淨美，超越了我們當初的預期，相信夾層絕緣板與線孔調音柱，也為「1.5 GEN」的好聲增添了幾分助力。讓玩家擁有高效能、高價值、高準確率、高標準的參考值，與絕佳的電醇化能量，這一直是我們努力的工作指標。經典再升級的「1.5 GEN」絕對讓你無從挑惕，以極為優異的性能，讓音響玩家用上了就「難以自拔」，我們對「靚電」細節要求面面俱到，才能將性能發揮至極致，更讓Hi-End音響無與倫比的性能展露無遺。
「AG-Q 1.5 GEN」隔離式插座，是我們專為前端器材（串流、CD／SACD、BD、LP）播放機、DAC、數位前級所設計，核心導電材選用高純度、高導電係數、厚達0.8mm的鈹銅合金，並採用五爪接點設計，導體表面經過特殊的奈米研磨技術處理，並鍍上的貴金屬金、銠，再處以-196°C超冷處理，讓金屬原子更加緊密連結，並消除金屬應力。隔離淨電模組以一組鍍上24K金的4N紅銅接地板，加上新款強化隔離夾層絕緣板，展現高穩定、無諧振、超靜低噪、均勻平衡、緊密插拔的高性能隔離電源插座，提供持續穩定且充沛的優越電能，將全頻寬的大電源能量，無損地延續至音響設備中，穩固地捕捉出音樂的紋理，就算在細微的弱音下，也能清晰明確地尋出音向，盡現音樂裡的情緒氛圍，MA靜神用心為「音響級」壁插座分級別類，新一代「1.5 GEN」更是為了將最美好的聲音，進入您的音響系統之中。隨盒配件附有電源專用螺絲與O型電源端子，還有六隻線孔調音柱，穩固電源磁場，讓電源直入音響，達成最完美的轉接站。

IG AG-Q 1.5 GEN
High-Performance Digital Isolation AC Receptacle
Small Upgrade, Big Impact—Every Evolution is a Leap in Power Performance

Why are most imported wall outlets often criticized by audiophiles? The answer is simple—because they fail to satisfy the demands of high-end audio systems. A generic outlet merely passes electricity, but if the contact quality is poor, it limits the flow of current, causes electromagnetic interference, and disrupts molecular electrical transmission. The result? Unstable power delivery, reduced bandwidth, and degraded sound quality.

In contrast, audiophile-grade power receptacles are meticulously engineered with every detail in mind—contact pressure, connection surface area, conductor type, plating material, structure, vibration damping, dielectric properties, and overall build quality. For true power isolation, a receptacle must achieve three key goals:

1. Block external electromagnetic interference.
2. Ensure highly conductive, stable contact points.
3. Enable ultra-fast current rise time.

These are the pillars of a pure, undistorted power path—critical for any high-fidelity system.

Premium metal plating isn’t just cosmetic—it protects the conductor’s long-term performance, delivers consistent, high-quality power, and enhances clarity across the full frequency spectrum. The high-density, elastic polymer shell also plays a vital role, offering excellent dielectric strength, insulation, and mechanical stability. Even after decades of use, Monitor Acoustics receptacles retain their integrity and performance, with ultra-low internal resistance and rapid thermal dissipation across the frequency band. This level of energy transfer is something no ordinary outlet can match.

Typical household outlets are limited by production costs. The plastic is basic and provides zero shielding against magnetic pollution. Contact points are small, resistance is high, and temperature rise is common. Without quality copper treatment or plating, oxidation eventually sets in, increasing impedance over time. No wonder these outlets need replacing every 10 years—and worse, they flatten and degrade audio performance. Many enthusiasts are shocked to find that the missing link in their system’s potential wasn’t a component—it was the outlet.

For serious audiophiles, the difference is immediately apparent. If you're chasing rich musical detail and full-spectrum power delivery, upgrading to a high-performance receptacle like the AG-Q 1.5 GEN is the smartest move you can make.

A Legend, Reinvented

In 2011, we developed the acclaimed AG-P (Analog) and AG-Q (Digital) isolation power receptacles. Built with obsessive precision—from custom molds, premium alloys, and proprietary polishing to bespoke plating formulas and painstaking assembly—these became icons in the world of high-end power distribution. The internal five-prong contact design, made from beryllium copper alloy, is paired with luxurious gold and rhodium plating, applied via our exclusive precision-grade electroplating solution.

Now, more than a decade later, we’ve taken this legacy to the next level. Enter the 1.5 GEN—a refined evolution with three major upgrades:

1. Enhanced Electroplating: We’ve upgraded to the finest-grade electronic plating fluid and optimized the plating environment to maximize finish quality.
2. Ground Insulation Boost: The dielectric strength of the ground insulation sheet has been increased by 1000V, improving thermal absorption and sonic purity.
3. New Tuning Tool (Terminal Plug): Our “Turning Tool” stabilizes the internal conductive plates, reduces resonance, prevents magnetic leakage, and secures the electrical field within the socket.

You can spot the difference immediately—the metal plating is noticeably richer, with a deeper luster and smoother texture. Inside, we’ve upgraded the insulating board and included six tuning plugs to fill wire gaps and maintain a clean, stable magnetic field. In lab tests, the 1.5 GEN clearly outperformed the original—offering greater control, deeper extension, and quieter backgrounds. These new enhancements exceeded even our expectations.

The 1.5 GEN is built for true reference performance—high-efficiency, high-value, and high-accuracy. Its detail-driven design unleashes the full potential of any Hi-Fi or Hi-End audio system.

Precision for Digital Front-Ends

The AG-Q 1.5 GEN is optimized for digital source components such as streamers, CD/SACD/BD/LP players, DACs, and digital preamps. The core conductive path features ultra-pure, high-conductivity 0.8mm-thick beryllium copper alloy in a 5-pin contact structure. Surfaces are nano-polished, then plated with precious gold and rhodium, followed by deep cryogenic treatment at -196°C to eliminate metal stress and align atomic structure.

The isolation module features a 2mm-thick 4N red copper grounding plate, 24K gold-plated, and paired with a newly enhanced dielectric layer rated to 3000V. The result is rock-solid mechanical stability, resonance-free operation, ultra-low noise, and tight contact for smooth, continuous power delivery.

Even the faintest musical cues are captured with crystal clarity, preserving the emotion and energy of your recordings. The AG-Q 1.5 GEN was developed to elevate digital playback, and to help serious listeners unlock the beauty in their systems—effortlessly.
