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.

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.
