Confidence inspiring power. There’s nothing worse than scoring that “must-have” piece of gear, only to find that it’s noiser than should be expected. Black Lion Audio has been trusted for years for modifying the best gear and making it even better, and that’s what it took to create the PG-1 MKII. High-end filtering. Your gear deserves the best power, and we took great care in making sure the PG-Your gear deserves the best power, and we took great care in making sure the PG-1 mkII delivers just that, thanks to PG-99 Filtering Technology. The PG-1 mkII is built using premium Panasonic and Wima capacitors, due to their superior ability in eliminating high frequency noise that robs equipment of its peak performance. In testing, this has provided an average of 99.7% of noise filtering, as opposed to the typical average of 85% found in other power conditioners. Combine that superior power filtration with an impressive power absorption rating of 2775 joules, and your gear isn’t just getting quality power, but it’s protected from the most unsafe of scenarios that can happen! The PG-1 mkII features a bank of eight switched, filtered and surge protected outlets on the back panel — combined into four groups (Digital Audio x2, Analog Audio, and High Current). The High Current outlets are time delayed, always ensuring that your speakers and power amplifiers are the last to turn on, and the first to turn off — this prevents the dreaded “pop” that can occur if speakers receive power at the same time as your sound sources. The PG-1 mkII also features two filtered convenience outlets, a USB port for device charging, and an XLR lamp connection on the front panel. Professional features for professional power. The PG-1 MKII features a suite of status and alert capabilities: a voltage meter for real-time analysis, LED status for grounding/polarity/noise filtering/abnormal voltage/surge protection and an audio alarm for unsafe voltage. Even in the worse power scenarios the PG-1 mkII has gear safety in mind.
