Echt nieuwe inzichten en producten ontstaan doorgaans alleen door buiten de traditionele gebaande paden en producten te denken. Voor audio- en videoproducten is dit is niet de gebruikelijke en zeker niet de meest eenvoudige weg. Vernieuwende technologie is zelden afkomstig van een marketingafdeling. Bij ons is dit het resultaat van diepgaande kennis en de ambitie om baanbrekende producten met een zeer goede prijs-prestatie verhouding te ontwikkelen.
De SR PLUG en de QA PLUG zijn het overtuigende bewijs dat deze benadering tot hele bijzondere produkten kan leiden.
Anders en wat ongebruikelijk, dat zeker. Maar daarom niet minder effectief. De verbetering van de weergave van uw audio/video installatie is ‘gewoon’ heel duidelijk hoorbaar en zichtbaar!
Wat is Schumann Resonantie?
De Duitse natuurkundige Wilfried Otto Schumann heeft in 1952 ontdekt dat de ruimte tussen het aardoppervlak en de ionosfeer fungeert als een trilholte voor elektromagnetische golven. Aangedreven door elektrische ontladingen (bliksem), ontstaan rondom de aarde elektromagnetische resonanties met zeer lage frequenties. De laagste (de grondtoon) heeft een frequentie van slechts 7,83 Hz, hetgeen correspondeert met een golflengte van 38.000 km. De omtrek van de aarde is ongeveer 40.000 km. De ionosfeer beschermt ons tegen schadelijke straling van de zon en uit de ruimte. Er zijn aanwijzingen dat deze zogeheten Schumann resonanties daarbij ook een rol spelen.
Door de mensheid wordt in (snel) toenemende mate hoogfrequente elektromagnetische golven opgewekt. Denk hierbij
aan ontelbare mobiele telefoons, draadloze netwerken (WiFi) etc. RFI en EMI (Radio Frequency Interference & Electro Magnetic Interference). Deze vervormen, dan wel maskeren de van nature aanwezige Schumann-resonantie soms zelfs volkomen en ‘vervuilen’ en verstoren uw audio/video installatie en volgens sommigen ook uw luisterruimte
en uw lichaam.
Wat doet de SR-Plug?
De SCHUMANN RESONANCE PLUG genereert een nieuwe 7,83 Hz golf en gaat de nadelige effecten van RFI & EMI
straling tegen. Gehoormatig resulteert dit in een zuiverder geluid met een voller timbre, meer details, een diepere
soundstage en meer kracht en dynamiek. Hierbij is de achtergrond stiller dan ooit tevoren. Video zal scherper overkomen, met meer contrast en rijkere, vollere kleuren. Een grotere betrokkenheid en een meer realistische weergave zijn de speerpunten van de SR Plug. Deze verbeteringen zijn moeilijk in grafieken of tabellen te vatten, maar zullen onmiddellijk duidelijk zijn voor iedereen met een fatsoenlijk stel ogen en oren.
Anders dan andere lichtnetproducten
De SR PLUG werkt volledig anders dan alle andere lichtnetproducten. Daarom kan de SR PLUG de werking van andere producten niet verminderen. Sterker nog: de positieve effecten zullen elkaar aanvullen en versterken.
Waar te plaatsen?
Voor het beste resultaat adviseren wij om de zeer dunne draadantenne vertikaal in het midden tussen de luidsprekers
te hangen. Het meest praktische is tegen een achtergelegen muur. Over het algemeen is de middelste stand van de regelaar de meest aangename. Met een hogere intensiteit neemt de detaillering en de precisie van het geluidsbeeld toe.
U loopt hierbij de kans dat het timbre iets aan natuurlijkheid inboet. De optimale instelling is mede afhankelijk van uw
installatie, de ruimte en vanzelfsprekend uw persoonlijke voorkeur.
Tenslotte hebben zowel de QA PLug als de SR Plug een hele interessante eigenschap: na een tijdje gebruik is het weghalen van een SR Plug nog duidelijker merkbaar dan de start van het gebruik ervan. U zult het wegvallen van de SR-Plug direct merken. Wij beloven u, dat u de SR Plug binnen 5 minuten weer zult willen activeren. Niet voor niets zijn zowel de SR Plug als de QA Plug al jaren één van onze bestsellers met duizenden tevreden klanten!
Reviews:
Home Studio, mei 2008 “Even mysterieuze als muzikale accessoires” door John van Polen
“De SR doet namelijk weer heel andere dingen met het geluid dan de QAplug. De werking zit meer in de sfeer van helderheid, demping, zuiverheid en het volledig platslaan van ruis. Een schonere, slankere, meer analytische sound met meer details, zonder dat het beeld krimpt. Na enkele dagen inwerken lijkt het gecombineerde effect van beide pluggen nog groter geworden. De sound is natuurlijker geworden; het lijkt simpelweg meer op echte muziek.”

Ron’s Audio Blog, November 2011 “Kemp Pluggen, klein maar fijn” door Marc van Berlo
“Ik ervaar het als een upgrade voor de tweeter. Vooral de hoge tonen profiteren van het inschakelen van de resonator; in klassieke- en jazz opnamen, waarbij de afzonderlijke instrumenten, zoals fluit, viool en fagot, goed te onderscheiden zijn,
lijkt het alsof er een extra ‘zilveren glans’ hoorbaar wordt; tonen blijven langer doorklinken; erg mooi!”

“For the price it’s almost impossible to live without”
Kemp Electroniks Schumann Resonance Plug | “Resonates with me…” door Clement Perry@stereotimes.com
“The sonic benefits of adding the Kemp SR plug(s) into my listening space were immediate and obvious. With the RR-77 still powered up, I could easily hear greater three-dimensionality placing a single Kemp SR plug directly center, between my Sunny loudspeakers. Yes, all the accolades formerly applied to the RR-77s were applicable to the SR plug. A greater sense of air and bloom seemed to surround instruments. The acoustic space of each recording also made itself more apparent, making the leap of faith of “being transported to the recording” that much more believable.”
“Kemp Electroniks SR Plug A Follow-up” door Dennis Parham@stereotimes.com
“Ultimately, placing two more Kemp SR Plugs on my front listening wall, imparted a wider soundstage with greater three-dimensionality – not to mention a sweeter and more delicate sound. Dynamic shadings gained wider bandwidth while macro and micro details became increasingly more obvious. Overall, I would have to say the sound became cleaner and thus clearer giving the music a greater sense of freedom and for me, a far more musically engaging sound.”

Herman from Chicago –
First impressions of this device are positive: if fact, very positive but difficult to describe. To sum up the very unusual effect would be to say that music played through my system sounds more “pleasant”. This is an ambiguous word but my wife confirmed this description. She mentioned that listening with the SR plug is “less strenuous on the ears, easier on the head”.
Some responses from one of our US dealers; Highend-electronics –
…I hooked it up last night. This thing is nothing short of amazing- it’s presence worked a great improvement in my system. The reviews of this device were right on the money: it may be the most cost-effective tweak I have ever used.
The music presentation is super clear, even more dynamic and soundstage depth and width presentation is so real. This is the most significant tweak in my 20 years into hifi. Simply breathtaking…
Dhr. van den Oever from Katwijk aan Zee, the Netherlands (translated by JvP) –
Yesterday, I collected a SR-Plug at my dealer’s to try it at home. I kept the device right away, because this Plug does exactly what is in the review by Mr. John van Polen. A lower noise floor, bass is more taut, more accurate imaging and better retrieval of detail are among its effects. In short, an astounding result.
Dhr. Wintels from Heerhugowaard, the Netherlands (translated by JvP) –
Being a gratified user of the Kemp QA-Plug and SNS-Plug for several years now, I was very curious about this new SR-Plug. It must be said: the effects are obvious at once. A more refined treble, better retrieval of detail (even new details appeared!) and a more “real” sound. At the start, I was too lazy to strech out the antenna, which was wrong, because this clearly enhances the effect. At my place, the SR-Plug sounded at its best when set at maximum output. This triggered the idea of buying another one, which raised the benefits as expected. In my opinion, this is the best Plug Kemp has ever made.
Ivan Benja from Milan, Italy –
I feel very happy with “my” sound: wide, deep, open, transparent, tidy, rich, dynamic. I can hardly imagine anything better downside a 5 figure high-end exotic monsters. At least – until this weekend.
*Step 1: turned potentiometer down to zero, plugged SR and here-we-go. I’ve chosen Hail-the I Dub compilation: a heavenly production, clean, clear and tidy.
*Step 2: turn clockwise to 9 o’clock. Apart slightly deeper bass (illusion?) I did not notice audible differences.
*Step 3: potentiometer turned to 11 o’clock. Wow! Bang! The bass got “edge”, the soundstage depth becomes deeper, higher, wider, naturally balanced with whole lotta “black space” between instruments. Almost holographic. Voices placed in front of drums (as it should be), colour and tidiness of voice to die for.
*Step 4: potentiometer turned from 1 o’clock to max. Too much of a good thing equals nogood.
*Back to 11 o’clock – back to heaven. The sound reminded me to the “deep listening” sessions after bong (ab)use when I was young(er).
*The last step: SR Plug switched of. The sound I’ve thought was fine. seemed – wall of sound! Plugged again. I will never unplug it again. I damn love it.

The music presentation is super clear, even more dynamic and soundstage depth and width presentation is so real. This is the most significant tweak in my 20 years into hifi. Simply breathtaking!
Khat from Japan –
When I plug the SR and placing the wire between my speakers, immediately everything become more cleaner with great hights making me to hear more from the recordings. Micro- details. Wow! what a great tweak.
P. Kolijn from Aalsmeer, the Netherlands (translated by JvP) –
If you ask me, the Schumann story was made up by Kemp altogether; however, strange enough, the thing actually works. All claims are fullfilled! How that can be, remains a mystery to me … .
Mr. Kong Wy Mun from Singapore –
Received the SR plug replacement yesterday and tried it last night. Must say that I’m happy with the results. 🙂 Imparts a more controlled feel to the sound and allows one to be better drawn / relax into the music….
Jeroen van het Hart from Hillegom, the Netherlands (translated by JvP) –
In our audio hobby group, we lively discuss and disagree on almost every audio product. Very rarely it happens that, so to speak, all noses point in one direction. But in case of the SR-Plug this rarity occured. Friend and foe agreed: This plug is one hell of a sound enhancer. The perceived effect was regarded as an enormous improvement unanimously.
A customer who wish to be anonymous (translated by JvP) –
Recently, I made a shocking discovery: both my QA- and SR-Plug are extremely sensitive to the quality of the mains! Using a high quality power strip is mandatory! I noticed that I was throwing away about half of the benifits of the Plugs when placed in a standard power strip. Fortunately, I managed to insert both Plugs into my dedicated audio power strip.
Gerard v/d Bergh from Bloemendaal, the Netherlands (translated by JvP) –
This weekend, my dealer gave me a SR-Plug to try at home. From the first moment on I was convinced of the enormous effect on my audio system: a more open / wider / deeper soundstage, a more detailed, tighter sound and better pace and rythm!
That evening I was struck by the picture of my Sony Trinitron CRT-television being more composed, focussed and detailed and displaying a much truer color balance also. I could never have expected to see this on my ten year old TV; in my opinion, the contribution of the SR-Plug here is even more prominent than in my audio system … !
Michael Bakker from Breda, the Netherlands (translated by JvP) –
Rather plain looking product that does an excellent job all the same. My description of the looks as “cheap”, should not retain anyone from buying, because it’s the result that matters. I had the honour to be able to compare it with the Acoustic Revive and, believe me, the SR-Plug performs many times better. On the basis of appearance I tend to prefer the Japanese design, but whether one should pay many times more for less performance … .
Fred van Ingen from Bergen aan Zee, the Netherlands (translated by JvP) –
My system from Van Medevoort always sounded somewhat harsh. There was just that ugly edge on the highs. After some fruitless experimentation with respect to cabling, it was at the Alkmaar show that I ran into Ron Kemp, who advised me to try his SR-Plug. Fortunately, I did. For an investment next to nothing, all harsh edges have disappeared and, as an unexpected bonus, the soundstage opened up completely. Much more spacious and realistic. This accessory is mandatory for every audio system in the serious league.
Robert Mastenbroek from Schipluiden, the Netherlands (translated by JvP) –
A set of Plugs from Kemp Elektroniks (SNS, QA en SR) managed to turn a mid-priced Panasonic system including a digital amplifier from “seldomly used”into “always on”, evoking goosebumps and even the occasional teardrop on a regular basis. What more can one wish for … .
A customer who prefers to be anonymous (translated by JvP) –
At first, nothing seems to happen at all. But about 7 minutes later, the music comes into bloom: more depth, better retrieval of detail, especially in the low and the high frequencies and a more “immediate” sound. When I unplug the SR-Plug, it takes about three minutes before I start missing something; when I put it back, it again takes about 7 minutes before I can say to myself: oh yes, that’s the sound, now it’s right again.
Frans Strik from Oldehoeve, the Netherlands (translated by JvP) –
The entire “sound image” gains quietness and I perceive new details between and behind musical instruments. Certain tracks from ‘The Maze’ from Sounds From The Ground sounded somewhat weird and diffuse; with the SR-Plug in place however, the whole thing comes together. In particular, the vertical image of musical instruments is defined much better. Also, the noise floor has dropped further. The power transmitted by the SR-Plug is adjustable, the result described above is achieved at half power output. In my system, maximum power output is way too much; the sound becomes rather “shouty”, reminiscent of a system playing in a large hollow space.
John van Polen from Leiden, the Netherlands (translated by JvP) –
Today, I transferred a SR-Plug from an ordinary power outlet to my MIT Z-Center power conditioner. This power line is also filtered by a Tice Line Enhancer and three PS Audio Noise Harvesters. This change resulted in a clearly audible improvement! A piano has a more natural timbre now and highs sound purer!
Matthias Diepenbrock from Berlin, Germany –
Unfortunatley, there is no dealer in Germany to sell Kemp products. However, the money back guarantee convinced me to buy them on the internet. I’m glad I did so, because the combination of SNS, SR and QA modules performs breathtaking in my home cinema system.
A customer from Denmark –
I took the plugs to a friend who has a very good HiEnd system. It was incredible how big the improvement was with only three or four plugs in all the corners and just one SR plug in between his speakers. He just couldn’t believe it, we sat down for maybe 3-4 hours and just listened. Great!
Our Singapore dealer Passion Audio –
We received the plugs and use a SR plug in one of our demo system. Wow, the effect is very audible, it help in creating a wider and deeper soundfield, vocal seem lusher and less gritty, the SR seem to have taken the tightness in tension on vocal, imbue it with warmth and retain the speed and tempo. Also the high seem more silky and extended. I am not exagerrating, it is true as we are very familar with our system. I hope you can quote me in your website.
F.H. from Germany –
To be true, when I ordered the sr-plug the first time, i thought that this could be a waste of money. I installed it in our dining room, to check if it works outside a music system. Our dining room is a room with lots of reverb, so that sometimes conversation could be stressful, especially when our kids scream and shout. Surprisingly situation changed, when I installed the sr-plug. Words are easier to understand and the noise floor isn’t disturbing any more.
After this unexpected effect, I ordered another sr-plug to use it in my hifi-system. I received the new model. And this on really knocks me off. After my experiences I did expect an improvement of the performance of my music system. But the improvement wasn’t slight, it was immense. More detail, more soundcolours, a relaxed swing… fantastic. I didn’t tried the old sr-plug in my music system, so I don’t know, if that one works as good, but in my opinion there is only few, that makes such a huge improve of the system for such a relatively small amount of money. If someone asks me, I would really recommend your plug.
