Buying Guide

Confirm outlet count & layout

Match the unit's number and spacing of outlets to your gear—10-outlet models and rack-mount spacing can simplify cable management for racks and studios

Look for sequenced or switched outlets

Sequenced or independently switched outlets help prevent inrush issues and let you control peripherals without unplugging equipment

Check surge protection and rating

Prioritize models that combine surge protection with conditioning to protect sensitive audio and AV components from spikes and noise

Consider USB and Type-C charging needs

Units with USB-A or USB-C outputs add convenience for charging phones or powering accessories without occupying AC outlets

Choose form factor for your setup

Portable tabletop conditioners work for desktop rigs, while 1U/2U rack-mount units integrate better into studio racks and touring rigs
