Re: Hey digital console users don't forget your UPSGreat observation. AVR is a minimal requirement - otherwise most UPS's are "Stand By" - if they don't like the incoming power they switch to battery until it dies and then your dead!Even better than AVR are "online" or "double conversion" UPS's - where the gear is powered off the batteries at all times by one inverter, and then a second inverter is constantly charging the batteries. I haven't tested some of the newer double conversion unites like the CyberPower units I currently use to see when the charging inverters cut out - but if they were conservative even with a double conversion unit you could end up with the same result as a cheap standby unit - in the dark even though you have "power" coming in. Hmm....
