No more alternator/ignition noise from your car Bluetooth connectivity

Designed to provide surge protection for computer USB ports. I wasn't sure if this would fix the 2009 Mazda 3 ignition/alternator noise when using bluetooth. I knew I didn't want to filter through the audio system's AUX input, which is where the sound quality degraded. Luckily, it worked like a champ! Highly recommended if 12 volt electrical noise is a problem.

Pros
  • Ideal for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Expensive

Not as effective - for computer accessories and peripherals

I didn't find it as effective as the Cablemax 5000 Vrms Dongle USB Isolator. . My goal is to eliminate transient power surges. Actually this is not so, although it should be so. All I experience is low power consumption. Cablemax allows more with its USB 2.0 functionality and you would think that this GeekPI would be the best isolator for this purpose. Not so.

Pros
  • Easy to install
Cons
  • Mostly good, but...

Isolated noise from my laptop charger.

From time to time I use my laptop to stream sound through my speaker system. I had a cheap laptop charger and it was making a lot of noise in the audio system. Place this little baby between the laptop and the audio interface I was using and the noise is gone! I gave it a star because direction matters. The interface connects to my laptop with a USB AA cable (same connector on each end) so I tried the isolator on the end of the interface first and nothing worked. Note that you MUST place this…

Pros
  • Only compatible with USB1.0/USB 1.1/USB2.0 Full-Speed
Cons
  • Unreliable

Features an eFuse fuse that mates with computer cable adapters

Unlike many isolators, this one has an eFuse fuse on the 5V output, so if you short the output, your power converter won't burn out. Given that this is used to power weird prototypes and the wires are randomly swapped, this is important (for me, I fried a few insulators this way, anyway). Now if you get one of those other isolators that don't have an eFuse output, it won't damage your computer. It just starts a small stinky fire and we can handle it, but you're out of isolation, which is…

Pros
  • Advantage
Cons
  • Legacy model

This is no ordinary USB digital noise filter

Although it looks the same in the pictures as say Audio Quest Jitterbug or iSilencer3.0 USB Audio Noise Eliminator/Suppressor, it isn't! This is a dedicated 2.5kV full/low speed USB isolator digital protection device from Analog Devices. The build quality is pretty clean, but the feature doesn't meet my needs for USB alarm noise reduction. I'm not sure what this article is for exactly, but neither audio pass-through nor data access via mass storage are part of its functionality. I've…

  • App

  • Expensive
