Hello
There's alot of audio-knowledged people on these forums, and I'm seeking your advice.
I'm starting to get alot of gear plugged into the power-outlet in my little studio, and I'm worried that the power-lines won't take it. Well, I don't know exactly how things work with power, but I'm mainly concerned for my gear being broken due to massive power-usage in this room. These are plugged:
- PC
- External soundcard
- Mixer (small one)
- External DAC
- Headphone amp (tube)
- MIDI-keyboard
- External harddrive
- External usb-hub
- Printer
- Lights
So, I was thinking about getting hold of a power-conditioner, or something. Then I read some threads about power-protection-units, and I must admit I don't know much about either. I had a look at a Furman power conditioner, and I can't seem to figure out how to connect the devices to it? I mean, the Furman only has eurocable-inputs, which requires a power-cord on each device with a eurocable-end (to connect to the Furman) instead of regular Universal 2-pin connector (I live in Norway). Seems weird... Just look at the pictures (top right) on this site --> http://www.belco.no/nor/powerconditi...onditioner_10a
The bottom line is, I'm worried. Maybe I don't need any kind of power-unit at all, and the power-lines will handle it very well. I don't know. Please enlighten me
