What is the Juice Goose CQ 1520 and why would I need a power sequencer?

The Juice Goose CQ 1520 is a 7-outlet power sequencer designed to power up and down your audio equipment in a specific order. This prevents damaging inrush current by sequencing power, and also includes built-in surge and spike protection to shield sensitive gear like amplifiers, mixers, and digital processors from electrical abnormalities. It's ideal for protecting complex rack setups in studios, venues, or home theaters, ensuring a smooth and safe power cycle every time.

How many outlets does the CQ 1520 have and how are they controlled?

The CQ 1520 features seven outlets. Six outlets on the rear panel are switched and controlled by the sequencing function, allowing you to power devices on and off in a timed order. There is also one unswitched rear outlet that provides constant power, perfect for devices that need to remain on, like a clock or a network router.

How does the sequencing feature work and can I adjust the delay?

The CQ 1520 powers up and down its switched outlets in three distinct sequence groups, preventing sudden power draws that can harm your equipment and reducing the immediate load on your electrical network. This ensures your specific gear powers on and off safely and efficiently.

What are the RJ-45 ports for on the CQ 1520?

The CQ 1520 offers remote activation, which adds extra convenience for controlling the power sequence. This allows you to trigger the power sequence from a remote switch.

What kind of protection does the CQ 1520 offer for my gear?

The CQ 1520 offers robust protection for your gear. It includes built-in surge and spike protection to shield your equipment from damaging electrical abnormalities. Additionally, by managing power-up and power-down cycles, it prevents damaging inrush current that occurs when multiple devices power on simultaneously. Its robust 20A capacity ensures stable power delivery for demanding setups, contributing to the longevity and reliability of your valuable equipment.
