Eight wall-wart-spaced outlets tally together with a voltage meter for real-time analysis and USB charging ports
Poor-quality power is the bane of many musician’s lives. Let’s face it, poor-quality power knows no bounds — in homes, on stages, and especially rehearsal rooms. Whether working with modern modeling amplifiers or vintage synthesizers, poor-quality power has a nasty habit of adversely affecting signal paths, which is never a good thing. Thankfully, Black Lion Audio has been trusted for years to modify the best gear and make it even better, which is exactly what it took to create its PG-P Plus Portable Power Conditioner — think taking industry-standard designs, and improving them to the point of peak performance.
PG-P Plus might well look like a durable surge protector, but in reality it is a studio-class power conditioner. Indeed, it not only provides more noise filtering than other portable power conditioners but also provides the same noise filtering found in the majority of rack-mount power conditioners! Cue Black Lion Audio applying its proprietary PG-P PORTABLE FILTERING TECHNOLOGY — hitherto integrated into PG-P — to PG-P Plus. Put it this way: by being built using premium Panasonic capacitors carefully selected for their superior execution in eliminating high-frequency noise that robs equipment of its peak performance, this — in testing — provided an average of three times the noise filtering capability of other portable power conditioners at the same price point.
PG-P Plus’ eight wall-wart-spaced outlets provide studio-grade power on the go — not forgetting its inclusion of USB-A and USB-C charging ports by way of an added bonus, but it takes more than a few outlets to inspire true confidence in a power conditioner, which is exactly what Black Lion Audio is intent on delivering here. Having said that, then, PG-P Plus provides a small suite of status and alert capabilities, comprising a voltage meter for real-time analysis backed by confidence-inspiring Ground OK, Protection On, and Clean Power On LED indicators. It clearly has gear safety in mind — even in worst-case power scenarios, so studio-class power conditioning capable of going wherever users might choose to take it quite clearly just got even better.
PG-P Plus should start shipping through Black Lion Audio’s growing global network of dealers/distributors (https://www.blacklionaudio.com/dealers) with a MAP (Minimum Advertised Price) of $119.00 USD and an SSP (Suggested Selling Price) of €159.00 EUR (including 19% VAT) in late-September 2024.
