Audience offers three Adept Response High Resolution Power Conditioners with power factor correction, RF/Noise filtering and surge suppression for audio and video components. The aR12 is a twelve outlet, high resolution power conditioner whose components present a low impedance power path while providing wide bandwidth noise reduction. Also, this unit performs partial power factor correction. This helps restore natural dynamics by bringing the AC voltage and current into a better phase relationship for a more efficient transfer of power. The aR6 is a six outlet version of the aR12. The aR1p is designed for single component applications like mono block amplifiers, receivers, video projectors and video displays. This unit is hand built without the use of circuit boards or clip on connections. The aR6 PDC (power distribution center) is a six receptacle unit using no filtration components designed to present the lowest possible impedance power path. Breaker and surge suppression are optional. This unit is hand-wired with 10 gauge equivalent power wire and no printed circuit boards. Read reviews of the aR6, aR1p, and aR12.

Power conditioners by Balanced Power use a balanced isolation transformer that splits the incoming 120V (hot) /0V (neutral) AC into +60V (hot) / -60V (neutral) components and cancels anything but the pure AC power sine wave. Your equipment sees a summed 120V source with a lowered noise floor.

Belkin offers home theater power consoles with 13 outlet, 11 outlet and 8 outlet configurations. The PF60 model (13 outlet) offers isolated digital, audio, video, and HiCurrent filters. The PF31 and PF30 (11 and 8 outlet) offer isolated audio, video, and HiCurrent filters. Their home theater battery backup maintains constant power delivery to your components ensuring that the memory, settings, and recordings on all of your equipment will be saved in the event of voltage problems. Their UPS model is a 13 outlet programmable battery backup that features backup power and isolated digital, audio, video, and HiCurrent filters. Belkin also offers a variety of surge protectors for home theater use. Read review of the Belkin AVU1500 UPS.

The Music Ring is a balanced power line conditioner and distribution center that addresses the primary problem of AC noise by taking the unbalanced power available at the wall receptacle and converting it to balanced power. All models feature fast MOV's for high voltage surge protection. Units use precision flux control to obtain ultra tight voltage regulation and offer 8 individual filters at the output to eleminate RF and EMI. There are four models to chose from 800w, 1200w, 1800w, 2400w. Read reviews of the Blue Circle Music Rings and BC600 power conditioner.

Brick Wall offers 2 outlet and 8 outlet point of use surge protectors, as well as a 10 outlet rack mount unit. These units are specifically designed to handle high current devices, such as large amplifiers and subwoofers, and other devices one might have in their audio/video systems. These units use a massive reactor that will not fail, be stressed or constrict, and offer power line filtering as well. Read review of Brick Wall 8R15AUD.

The AC120S Power Conditioner/Sequencer is a universal AC distribution control center that features 10 120V AC outlets, a 10 stage microprocessor sequential power-up (1 stage per outlet), each piece of equipment can be powered in the proper sequence to prevent audio pops, dual EMI/RFI filters to trap AC line noise, and 3 power surge absorbers to protect against AC spikes. Read review for the Carvin AC120S power conditioner.

Empower advanced impedance tolerant EMI/RFI filtering removes electro-magnetic and radio-frequency noise caused by the appliance motors, lighting, TVs, radios, computer monitors and other devices in your home. These power conditioners also offer reliable protection from surges and transients. Read review of the Empower EM2100 power conditioner.

ESE offers the Enlil, a 500VA isolation mains transformer created to balance and purify the mains power used by audio equipment. Features include a low loss isolation transformer with very low magnetic flux and current density, a symetrically ballanced floating mains output, no series RLC passive components on line, and two static screens between primary and secondary coils.
