The PL-Plus Power Conditioner and Light Module is the perfect accessory to any equipment rack, providing the basic power protection essential to every audio or video system. Install a PL-8 in the top slot of your rack, and the eight switched AC outlets on the rear panel will power up all your equipment while its two slide-out light fixtures provide discreet illumination of their controls on stages, in studios, or in any dark place. A dimmer control lets you adjust the lamp brightness to just the right level.
The PL-Plus protects your delicate electronic equipment by combining a high voltage surge and transient suppressor with an RFI/EMI interference filter. The fast-acting suppression circuit responds in nanoseconds, clamping spikes and surges to safe levels. The filter works to prevent noise from fluorescent lights, electric motors, radio transmitters and similar sources of “electronic pollution” from leaking from the AC line into sensitive analog or digital circuits.
There are 8 outlets on this unit with 2 adjustable light modules on the front, a voltage meter, and a dedicated power on/off switch.
