Provide your sensitive electronics with clean power using the Equi=Tech 5RQ 50-Amp Desktop or Rackmount Balanced Power System. It features a large, acoustically quiet, specially designed Equi=Tech balanced power step-down transformer and 18 balanced GCFI protected outlets to provide ample power while preventing noise, hums, ground loops, and other unwanted distortions to keep your gear running as efficiently as possible.
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 equalization to remove noise. Rather, balanced power eliminates that noise before you ever hear or notice it.
How It Works
Unlike common power conditioners that use filters to reduce noise, which can affect your sound quality, the 5RQ focuses on preventing those noises in the first place. The 5RQ takes 240V and steps it down to split 120V into one 60V leg and one phase inverted 60V leg. The two legs are reassembled without any artifacts through special outlets on the unit. The results range from better dynamics to improved stereo imaging. 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.
Q = Quiet
Plug your components into the 5RQ and you'll enjoy 100% balanced, cleaner, pure 60 Hz sine wave power. Compared to traditional isolation transformers, the Q series transformer is acoustically quiet, making it possible to situate the unit in critical listening areas, making it ideal for use in recording studios, hi-fi, and A/V setups, as well as medical and research lab applications.
