Product Description
The Equitech 1.5R has a 1500=watt capacity and plugs into any standard 15-amp 120-volt wall outlet, providing world class balanced power isolating your audio from line noise and other problems with dirty power that can effect sound quality and noise floor. The 1.5R has a simple yet elegant appearance. On the front panel there are 2 LED indicator lights, one above the input power switch and one above the output standby switch that monitor power status at the input and at the output of the unit. The input power LED doubles as a TVSS status light that indicates active surge protection when lit.
On the back panel, there are 12 outlets provided. A GFCI outlet is independent from the front standby switch and is constantly left turned on for use with components that require continuous power for a clock or to maintain memory. Of the 10 remaining outlets, 6 (white) are for analog components such as self-powered monitors, amplifiers, pre amps, crossovers etc. and 4 (gray) are specially filtered outlets for digital gear. A circuit breaker on the rear panel protects the system from overload and from potential short circuit fire hazards in electrical power cords and downstream connected equipment.
HOW IT WORKS
With two legs at an equal 180 degree difference, the effect created is Common Mode Rejection and cancels the differences between legs such as noise, hums, ground loops and other unwanted distortions that may affect your work. Plug your components in as before using the 1.5R and you’ll enjoy 100% balanced power of cleaner, pure 60Hz sine wave power.
The 1.5R is a level one performance option that allows you to provide a clean, balanced power infrastructure, at an affordable price.
DISTINCTION BETWEEN 1.5RQ
The model 1.5RQ is a rack mounted balanced power system, delivering virtually 99% quiet, uninterrupted performance. The 1.5RQ simply cleans up incoming power to give your system the purest, most distortion-free result possible. The model 1.5R provides equally unparalleled sound quality and outcome, however, the 1.5R doesn’t include enhanced features and upgraded components such as switches, digital readout, and the patented LoNo technology contained within the 1.5RQ transformer which additionally produces an extraordinarily silent environmental output. Differences aside, both rack systems are maintenance-free, bullet-proof, and well worth the investment.
WHAT IS BALANCED POWER?
In simple terms, balanced power is a process that eliminates noise or distortion from incoming electrical current. Before the initial signal hits your devices and equipment for power, balanced power ensures you have the cleanest, most pure power by affecting the current itself. Balanced power is not conditioning power or adding "EQing" to remove noise. Rather, balanced power eliminates that noise before you ever hear or notice it.
