About Power Conditioners
Sweetwater doesn't just carry the best power protection gear in the industry; we use it daily. Without a quality power conditioner or voltage regulator behind your audio equipment, electrical problems can damage your gear or impair its performance. And while Sweetwater's in-house service department can fix just about anything, it's always better to safeguard against power-related damage.
How to Choose a Power Conditioner
Looking for tips on choosing your next power conditioner? First, you need sufficient surge protection to accommodate your total current draw. If you aren't sure how many amps that is, an electrician can help you sort it out. Next, check out the arrangement of the outlets. If you have to plug in several wall-wart power supplies, you'll need to account for the space. Front panel displays can range from basic voltage overload indicators to full LCD readouts, and a set of pull-out lights can be convenient in dark control rooms.
More Than Damage Protection
Unlike standard power strips, even the most budget-friendly power conditioners Sweetwater recommends go far beyond basic power surge protection. Most models include electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI) filtering. This removes noise from the line that can not only degrade your audio and ruin your recordings or live performances. More sophisticated noise filtering, such as Furman's Linear Filtering Technology (LiFT), can reduce or eliminate AC line noise.
Sweetwater has put countless power conditioners into professional studios, and we know firsthand that if you've invested heavily in your music gear, then basic power strips aren't enough. Their basic surge protectors use metal oxide varistor (MOV) circuits that break down over time and can completely fail to cut off high-voltage spikes. Professional power conditioners use designs such as transient voltage suppression (TVS) and advanced series mode (SM) systems to ensure better protection that won't degrade.
Power Conditioners vs. Voltage Regulators
Most power conditioners don't stabilize line voltage, so if you run live sound or use vintage gear with lower voltage-range tolerances, you need a voltage regulator. Voltage regulators use a series of capacitors and detection circuits to correct voltage fluctuations that can damage sensitive electronics. For even more critical studio applications, consider a balanced power system. These systems correct for both irregular voltage and DC offset between the positive and negative voltages. Not only do they provide superb protection, but they also cancel noise the same way balanced audio cables do.
Power Sequencers: Delayed Gratification?
Finally, if you're running a live rig with multiple power amps, you might consider a power sequencer. These devices protect your gear by automatically switching their circuits at delayed intervals. This ensures that there isn't too great a draw on your service current all at once, which is the leading cause of power spikes that result from an overbalance as the current attempts to stabilize. Sweetwater recommends power sequencers to any engineer running multiple power amplifiers, making them a staple of live sound systems. Power sequencers can also be useful in the studio by preventing "pops" into your mains that can occur from turning off all your gear at once.
