Frequently Asked Questions

We receive a lot of questions if there can be placed an pre-order. If we opened this, you must be aware that the expected date of shipment is not fixed and can be extended in case  production lasts longer than expected etc. On the website at product page itself the most recent status will be uploaded. Customer can check on the product page for an update. Once we have a guaranteed date we try to inform customers. We will not send every few days an update therefore we change the status on our website (at product page itsef), customers can always send email to us and we are more than happy to give an update on their order.  An order will only be shipped once all products are available for shipment. Placing an order customer agree with this. If customer dont want to wait longer, just send an email that you want to cancel the order and get a refund, this is mostly done same day but max in 2-3 workdays.
We hear it more often: problems on the power network.. Isolate the Source of Interference: If possible, try to identify the source of the interference within your home or business. Electrical noise can be caused by malfunctioning appliances, electronic equipment, or even issues with your electrical wiring. Isolate and address any internal sources of interference. it is therefore also possible that solar panels cause problems on the power network that can affect audio equipment. Here are some potential problems that can occur: Electrical noise: Solar panels can generate electrical noise, especially during their operation at high power levels. This noise can spread through the power network and affect the audio components, resulting in audible noise or interference, or a hum in the power supply. (think of flashing lights, that is already visible) Voltage fluctuations: The operation of solar panels can lead to voltage fluctuations in the electricity network, especially when there are variable loads such as switching the solar panels on and off. Unstable or incorrect voltage can cause malfunctions in the operation of audio equipment. Ground loops: Solar panels can contribute to the development of ground loops in the electrical system. Ground loops can cause humming or other disturbances in audio equipment. Grounding and Bonding: Ensure that your electrical system is properly grounded and bonded. Proper grounding and bonding practices can help reduce the effects of electrical interference. To prevent or reduce these problems, consider the following measures: Use of power filters: Place power filters (for example mains filters or Power Conditioners) between the electricity mains and the audio components to reduce noise and voltage fluctuations. Consider the Ludic Kratos or Ludic Heimdall power filters. Separation of power circuits: Consider separating the power circuits used by the solar panels and audio equipment. This can be achieved by using separate groups or even separate electricity meters. Use of Galvanic Isolation: Galvanic isolators can help prevent ground loops by separating electrical signals and preventing unwanted currents from flowing through them. Electrical Panel Upgrade: If your home has an outdated electrical panel, it may struggle to handle the electrical demands of modern appliances and devices. Consider upgrading to a higher-capacity panel to address voltage problems. It is advisable to contact a qualified electrician or audio equipment specialist to investigate the problem and get advice on the best solution for your specific situation. They can evaluate the electrical installation, recommend suitable equipment and ensure everything is implemented correctly and safely.

If a product must be shipped back, like a wrong delivered product or where there is any other issue we always provide a return label so customer can drop it a parcelshop nearby. We always ask one or two options, most of time DPD or your national shippingcompany, so the parcelshop is nearby your home. Please note, no pick up at customers home is available.
If wear or damage has occurred to the product or its packaging and therefore declined in value, then we are entitled to offset the damage with the refunded amount. This damage must have arisen because the consumer has done more for the product than is needed to assess whether he wants to keep it and to check the main features. Unnecessary rupture or packaging is missing in the return.
