Black Lion PG-1 Type F MKII

A 1U Rack Format Designed to Ensure Reliable Power Supply in Studio and On Stage

In an audio environment, failures and unwanted noise often stem from unstable power supply, mains interference, or voltage spikes during startup. This 19-inch 1U rack power conditioner aligns with professional installation logic: centralizing power, protecting equipment, and maintaining clear control over mains status.

Its design prioritizes easy integration into existing racks, with outputs distributed between front and rear panels, and a "multi-profile" approach that differentiates the needs of digital, analog, and high inrush current devices.

Who It's For and When This Power Conditioner Makes a Difference

This model is intended for studios (advanced home studios and professional control rooms), stage rack setups, fixed installations (rehearsal rooms, houses of worship, DJ booths), and any configuration where multiple audio devices need clean and reliable power. It is especially suitable if you use a mix of sensitive equipment (audio interfaces, converters, controllers, computers, processors) and more power-hungry devices (amplifiers, active speakers), which often cause voltage drops or "pops" at power-on.

Thanks to the timed outputs and sequenced power-up, you can structure your startup and shutdown procedures to limit transients and reduce the risk of surges or noise during power-on in the audio chain.

Filtering, Protection, and Sequencing: Better Daily Power Management

8 Filtered Outputs with Front/Rear Distribution Tailored for Rack Use

The power conditioner offers a total of 8 switchable, filtered, and surge-protected outputs. On the front panel, you have 2 filtered outputs for quickly connecting a temporary device (laptop, maintenance tool, occasional peripheral), plus a dedicated lamp connection via 3-pin XLR, useful in dark rack environments. A USB-A charging port completes the setup to power an accessory without occupying a mains outlet.

On the rear, 6 filtered outputs handle the main rack load. Among these, 2 timed outputs are designed for devices with high inrush current, typically amplifiers or active speakers, to better manage startup current peaks.

Outputs Optimized According to Equipment Type

The outputs are individually optimized for digital devices, analog devices, or high inrush current devices. This approach aims to improve compatibility with equipment exhibiting different electrical behaviors while maintaining cleaner and more stable power for sensitive components (conversion, preamps, monitoring), where mains quality can influence perceived noise levels and overall reliability.

Visual Monitoring, Alerts, and Surge Protection

A set of LED indicators allows quick verification of several parameters: input voltage level, grounding, polarity, interference signal filtering, AC voltage, and surge protection status. Additionally, audible and visual warning signals enhance operational safety, especially during live events or shared installations where mains faults might go unnoticed.

The surge protection is rated at 2775 joules, designed to absorb surges and help preserve your connected equipment. The unit operates on a 230 V AC power supply, with a maximum load of 10 A, suitable for common audio rack configurations when total connected power is respected.
