Black Lion Audio PG-1 Type F MK2
Power conditioner and surge protection
The Black Lion Audio PG1 is a rack-mountable power conditioner with that “special sauce” from Black Lion Audio. Most would cringe at the thought of plugging in their hard-earned music gear or an unprotected power strip if they knew the truth about “dirty power.” The wildly unpredictable nature of an untamed powerplant is quite a jungle. The danger comes in the form of a tone that devours high-frequency line noise and a device that kills power surges. Now you can protect your precious electronics with the power and strength of a lion – the Black Lion Audio PG1 ! Black Lion Audio took an industry standard design and leveraged our expertise developed over the years by adapting and improving recording equipment. Sound quality is always the top priority in a BLA design. We took extra care in the design of the power filter circuit in the PG-1. Premium Panasonic and Wima capacitors were chosen for their superior performance in eliminating high-frequency noise that robs equipment of its peak performance. Combined with an excellent power absorption of 2775 Joules for protection against peaks, the Black Lion Audio PG-1 is truly the king of the jungle. The Black Lion Audio PG1 is a rack-mountable power conditioner. It features an array of eight switched, filtered and surge-protected outlets on the rear panel. Two filtered convenience outputs and a 3-pin XLR lamp connector adorn the front panel. A convenient front panel LED display provides a constant reading of the AC voltage from the power source, as well as five LED lights to indicate whether grounding, polarity, noise filtering, AC voltage and surge protection are all in good working order. The sockets are individually optimized for digital, analog and power devices, as indicated on the rear panel. A two-stage on/off system is also implemented in the PG-1. The outputs labeled “High Power” are time-delayed and designed for your speakers or power amp to make sure they turn on and off for the last time. Confidence inspiring power. There’s nothing worse than scoring that “must-have” piece of gear, only to find it’s noisier than expected, missing high-frequency detail, or worse – letting it fry through power surges! Black Lion Audio has been trusted for years for customizing the best gear and making it even better, and that’s what it took to create the PG-1: designs that meet the industry standard and improve them to the point of peak performance. High-quality filtering. Your gear deserves the best power, and we took great care to ensure that the Black Lion Audio PG1 delivers just that, thanks to PG-99 filter technology. The PG-1 is built using premium Panasonic and Wima capacitors, for their superior performance in eliminating high-frequency noise that robs equipment of its peak performance. During testing, this yielded an average of 99.7% noise filtering, as opposed to the typical 85% average found in other power conditioners at the same price. Combine that superior power filtration with an impressive 2775 joules of power absorption, and your gear not only gets quality power, but it’s also protected against the most unsafe scenarios that can happen! The PG-1 has an array of eight switched, filtered and surge protected outputs on the rear panel – combined in four groups (digital audio x2, analog audio and high current). The High Current outputs are time-delayed, so you can always be sure that your speakers and power amps are turned on last and off first – this avoids the dreaded “pop” that can occur when speakers are fed at the same time as your power. sound sources. The PG-1 also has two filtered convenience outputs and an XLR lamp jack on the front panel. Professional features for professional power. It takes more than a few rack-mounted outlets to instill true confidence in your power conditioner, and that’s what the PG-1 takes care of! The PG-1 features a range of status and warning capabilities: a voltage meter for real-time analysis, LED status for grounding / polarity / noise filtering / abnormal voltage / surge protection, and an audio alarm for unsafe voltage. Even in the worse power scenarios, the Black Lion Audio PG1 considers the safety of your equipment.
