[QUOTE="Dick Rees, post: 88444, member: 16"] Re: Using power conditioner with X32 The fact that the board seems to react to the voltage dip when the amps are turned on tells you something......or should tell you something. Corrected the "less/fewer" issue...... The Wiz will tolerate voltage fluctuations better than a digital desk which reads drops/spikes as some kind of rogue command. Do you gain anything/is it better? Not so much. It gives you more outlets for FOH and a modicum of surge protection, but not much more. The meter will give you a gross representation of line voltage but will not show the fluctuations which may effect some digital gear. Surge protection only. What you want is a line regulator such as the Furman AR1215 or 1217 (model #'s from memory, may not be accurate). I have not lost any gear or suffered digital gear performance anomalies since incorporating line regulation @ FOH. UPS units (the more quality/pricey ones) will incorporate voltage regulation as part of their function. But the primary function is probably to prevent console re-boots during a show due to power issues. I myself would include line regulation for any low to mid level digital gear and full UPS/regulation on big show consoles.......as if I'd ever be in that situation..... [/QUOTE]
