Power Conditioning & Surge Protection

Yes, our power conditioning and UPS products are engineered for professional AV installations. Most units feature standard 1U or 2U rack-mount form factors. We also include practical design elements, such as the rotated rear outlets on the JG 11-15A, which accommodate bulky wall-wart power supplies without blocking adjacent receptacles. Some models, like the SRA Series UPS, offer versatile mounting for rack, tower, or wall installations to fit any project requirement.

Yes. Our panel-based and distributed systems are engineered with integrated voltage protection. The RPC and XPC series feature automatic brownout protection that safely shuts down circuits during an under-voltage event. This critical feature protects sensitive downstream electronics from potential damage caused by unstable power, adding a layer of reliability to your entire installation.

Yes. Beyond providing backup power, the KIN series is an effective power conditioner. It offers 320 Joules of surge protection to safeguard equipment from damaging power spikes. It also provides up to 50dB of AC line filtration to clean up electrical noise that can interfere with the performance of sensitive audio and video gear, ensuring a more stable operational environment for all connected devices.

First, sum the total power consumption in watts for all critical devices that must remain operational during an outage. This information is typically on the device spec sheets. Select a UPS with a watt rating that exceeds this total by at least 20% to ensure reliability and allow for future expansion. For example, our KIN 1000 provides 600 watts of capacity. Also consider the required runtime, as a higher VA rating generally provides longer backup time for the same load.

Selecting the correct SPD depends on your system’s electrical service, including the voltage and phase configuration (e.g., 120V single-phase, 208V three-phase). It is critical to match the SPD’s specifications to the panel it will protect.

Our team can help you analyze your power infrastructure and specify the appropriate SPD model to ensure optimal protection for your sensitive downstream audio, video, and lighting equipment.

LynTec portable power distribution units are engineered with integrated protection to shield sensitive electronics. Onboard surge protection defends against voltage spikes, while properly isolated circuits help prevent ground faults and other issues common in temporary power environments.

This ensures that your audio, video, and lighting equipment receives clean, stable power, protecting your investment and ensuring reliable performance, regardless of the venue’s electrical infrastructure.

Standard surge protectors primarily address high-energy events on the hot and neutral lines. The RX series provides a more comprehensive solution with its patented Hybrid Filter Technology, which protects all three power lines: hot, neutral, and ground.

This system filters both high-energy surges and low-level line noise in both normal mode (line-to-neutral) and common mode (ground line). Cleaning the ground path is critical for protecting sensitive digital processors and preventing performance issues that other conditioners can miss.

A line-interactive UPS, like our KIN and SRA series, includes an internal transformer that provides automatic voltage regulation (AVR). This allows the UPS to correct common under-voltage (sags) and over-voltage (swells) conditions without switching to its battery. This preserves battery runtime for a complete power failure, reduces wear on internal components, and provides more stable, consistent power to your connected equipment.

A line-interactive Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) includes an autotransformer that actively regulates voltage. For an AVL system, this means the SRA can correct common under-voltage conditions like brownouts without switching to battery power.

This design preserves battery capacity for a complete outage, extends the overall service life of the batteries, and provides a more stable power source for sensitive electronics, improving system reliability.

Automatic Voltage Regulation, or AVR, is a key feature in our line-interactive UPS products. It constantly monitors incoming utility power and automatically corrects minor voltage fluctuations, such as brownouts or swells, without switching to the battery.

This protects sensitive electronics from potentially damaging voltage levels and preserves the battery’s full runtime capacity for a complete power failure. It is a critical function for maintaining system stability and reliability.

Beyond providing battery backup during a complete outage, the SRA Series offers two additional layers of protection. Its line-interactive design includes Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR), which corrects for chronic under-voltage (brownouts) and over-voltage conditions without depleting the battery.

Additionally, every SRA unit has 960 Joules of built-in surge protection to safeguard connected equipment from damage caused by electrical surges and spikes.

A line-interactive UPS with Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) actively corrects common voltage sags and swells without switching to battery power. This is a significant advantage in professional AV systems.

By handling minor power fluctuations internally, the UPS preserves its battery capacity for a complete power outage. This extends the service life of the battery and ensures maximum runtime is available when it is truly needed to protect critical control processors, servers, and network hardware.

The RX Series option provides a significant upgrade in equipment protection. It features a hybrid filter circuit that is much more effective than standard MOV-based protection. It limits potentially damaging ground line surges to a maximum of 0.50 volts, safeguarding sensitive digital components.

In addition to surge protection, the RX circuit also includes a bi-directional filter that reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI). This helps ensure cleaner power for improved audio and video performance.

Our PDUs provide an essential layer of protection for sensitive electronics. They include an internal metal oxide varistor (MOV) for basic surge and voltage spike suppression to guard against common power anomalies. Additionally, they feature AC line noise filtration, which helps reduce interference on the power line for cleaner, more stable power to your connected AV and IT equipment.

JG Series units provide an essential layer of commercial-grade protection for connected equipment. An internal metal oxide varistor (MOV) offers surge and spike suppression to guard against damaging voltage transients. The design also includes a capacitor that filters AC line noise, delivering cleaner and more stable power to sensitive AV and IT electronics. This provides a solid foundation of protection for everyday applications.

Our rack-mount PDUs provide essential protection for connected equipment. They feature an internal Metal Oxide Varistor (MOV) for basic spike and surge suppression against common voltage transients. Additionally, an onboard capacitor provides AC line noise filtration, delivering cleaner power to sensitive electronics. This provides a reliable layer of protection for commercial AV and IT gear in a simple, integrated package.

These rack PDUs provide essential protection for connected equipment. They feature an integrated Metal Oxide Varistor (MOV) for reliable spike and surge suppression against common voltage transients. Additionally, an onboard capacitor provides basic AC line noise filtration for cleaner power delivery.

This level of protection is ideal for general-use applications. For systems requiring more advanced protection or remote monitoring, consider our dedicated Power Conditioning & Surge Protection solutions.

Standard surge protectors often only guard the hot and neutral lines. Our products, like the RX series, use a hybrid filter to protect all three paths: hot, neutral, and ground. This comprehensive approach prevents ground contamination, a common source of audio hum and video noise that can degrade system performance even without a major surge event.

LynTec panels provide multiple layers of protection for sensitive equipment. Standard features include automated power sequencing to prevent dangerous inrush currents at startup and brownout protection, which automatically shuts down circuits during under-voltage events. For complete protection, optional SurgeX or SPD modules can be integrated directly into the panels.

Each SGX sidecar houses genuine 20A SurgeX power conditioning modules. This multi-stage technology is proven to absorb and dissipate high-voltage transient events without degradation, providing reliable, long-term protection for sensitive downstream equipment.

These components offer increasing levels of protection. A surge protector primarily defends against large voltage spikes. A power conditioner, such as an RX series unit, adds advanced filtration to remove AC line noise that can degrade audio and video performance. An uninterruptible power supply (UPS) includes both, but also adds a battery to maintain power during an outage. Our line-interactive UPS models also provide automatic voltage regulation to correct sags and swells without using the battery.

A line-interactive UPS is the ideal choice for most commercial AV and IT equipment. It provides excellent protection from common power problems like sags, swells, and outages, using an internal transformer to regulate voltage without constantly draining the battery.

An on-line (or double-conversion) UPS provides the highest level of protection. It constantly regenerates power to create a perfect sine wave, completely isolating equipment from the utility source. Specify an on-line UPS for mission-critical applications with extremely sensitive electronics, such as in broadcast facilities or scientific labs.

Integrated brownout (under-voltage) protection is a standard feature in our RPC Remote Control Breaker Panel and XPC Xtend Power Control systems. This protective feature constantly monitors incoming voltage.

If the voltage drops below a safe operating threshold, the system automatically turns off the protected circuits in a controlled sequence to prevent damage to sensitive downstream electronics. Once stable power is restored, the system can be programmed to automatically re-sequence and bring the equipment back online safely.

AC power protection only handles surges on main electrical lines. It does not protect low-voltage signal paths. Long or outdoor cable runs for speakers and network devices act like antennas, picking up powerful surges from nearby lightning strikes. The L Series is specifically engineered to intercept these induced surges on signal lines before they can damage sensitive electronics like amplifiers, DSPs, and network switches.

Many basic surge protectors only clamp surges between the hot and neutral lines. However, the ground line is a common path for high-frequency noise that can introduce audible hum, video artifacts, and data errors in sensitive AV equipment. Our RX series conditioners use Hybrid Filter Technology to provide robust protection and filtration on all three power lines (hot, neutral, and ground), ensuring a cleaner power foundation and more reliable system performance.

In modern digital AV systems, the ground line is used as a voltage reference for low-voltage logic circuits. Contamination or noise on the ground path, known as common mode interference, can disrupt data transmission, cause audio hum, and lead to intermittent system lockups or premature component failure.

The RX series Hybrid Filter Technology is specifically designed to filter the ground line, allowing a maximum of only 0.5 volts of let-through during a major surge. This ensures a clean reference for sensitive electronics, leading to more stable and reliable system operation.

Many basic surge protectors only address the hot line, leaving neutral and ground paths vulnerable. For sensitive AV equipment, electrical noise or surge energy on the ground line can directly contaminate audio and video signals, causing hum, visual artifacts, and component damage.

LynTec surge protectors use a hybrid filter to defend all three pathways. This comprehensive approach ensures that connected equipment is fully isolated from power disturbances, preserving signal integrity and system reliability.
