[QUOTE="Silas Pradetto, post: 27447, member: 34"] Re: UPS for ls9 You can get UPSes that can do AVR without using the battery, but they command a price premium. I would not try to get the cheapest/smallest UPS available, because there have been many horror stories of UPSes failing or going dead during a show, causing the console to shut off. I like to go to Newegg and sort by 'Best Rating' to see which product the customers like the best. Since most concerts are loud, you won't hear the beeping of the UPS if it switches to battery. Get one with good visual indicators so you can fix the power problem before the battery dies and the console shuts off. You will probably want a rackmount unit so the indicators can be on the front of a rack, instead of one of the 'brick' units that you'd bury in a rack and never see. Personally, I have a Powerware 5115 1500VA rackmount unit that is like a portable power station, but it's worth about $1000. I got it for $9.99 on eBay :) [/QUOTE]
