Equitech 1R Balanced Power System

The Equitech 1R delivers the benefits of balanced AC power in an affordable, rackmountable format designed for project studios, small to medium control rooms, and high-fidelity audio setups. Built on over three decades of research, the 1R employs a bifilar wound isolation transformer with magnetic and Faraday shielding to provide pure, noise-free power to your gear. With 12 balanced outlets and a 1000-watt (1 kVA) capacity, the 1R ensures clean, efficient energy transfer that enhances playback quality and prevents compression artifacts in amplifiers and self-powered monitors.

Key Features

• Bifilar Wound Isolation Transformer — ensures maximum noise rejection and clean current delivery.
• Magnetic and Faraday Shielding — prevents interference when installed near sensitive studio equipment.
• 12 Rear Balanced Outlets — including 2 unswitched and 4 digitally filtered outlets, all GFCI protected.
• 100% Passive Circuitry — high efficiency design without active components that can color or compress sound.
• 1 kVA Capacity — rated at 1000 W (10 A) with 8.4 A continuous output for small to medium studios.
• High Power Factor — supplies quick current bursts for class AB monitor amps and powered speakers without strain.
• Rackmount or Desktop Format — flexible installation in any studio environment.
• Pure Balanced Power — eliminates electrical noise at the source, delivering the cleanest power before it ever reaches your gear.

Why Balanced Power?

Balanced power eliminates noise and distortion from incoming AC before it ever reaches your equipment. Unlike conditioners that filter or “EQ” noisy current after the fact, balanced power addresses the current itself, ensuring your audio and video gear receives the cleanest, most stable power possible. The result is a lower noise floor, improved clarity, and enhanced dynamics across your entire system.
