PG-1 Type UK mkII
Studio-grade power conditioner and surge protector
UK PRICE: £349
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, missing high frequency detail, or even worse — having it fried by power surges!
Black Lion Audio has been trusted for years to modify the best gear and make it even better, and that’s what it took to create the PG-1 Type UK mkII; we start with industry-standard designs and improve them to the point of peak performance.
The PG-1 Type UK mkII features a bank of eight switched, filtered and surge protected outlets on the back panel — combined into three groups (Digital Audio, 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 Type UK mkII also features one filtered convenience outlet, a USB port for device charging, and an XLR lamp connection on the front panel.
Even in the worse power scenarios, the PG-1 Type UK mkII has your gear’s safety in mind with it’s 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. And if that wasn't enough, Black Lion Audio made sure to include an XLR lamp connection on the front panel.
High-end filtering.
Your gear deserves the best power, and we took great care in making sure the PG-1 Type UK mkII delivers just that, thanks to PG-99 Filtering Technology. The PG-1 Type UK mkII is built using premium Panasonic and Wima capacitors, chosen for their superior execution 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 at the same price point. Combine that superior power filtration with an impressive power absorption rating of 2775 joules, and your gear isn’t just getting quality power — it’s also protected from the most unsafe of scenarios that can happen!
