PS Audio - UPC-200HB Power Center
|
|
|
|
$499

The UPC-200HB Power Center combines the best of passive power cleaning,
surge protection and Humbusting – together in one sweet package.
Inside the UPC-HB is a
single zone Ultimate Power Cell™ for cleaning and isolation, a single zone Humbuster™ (fed by the
Ultimate Power Cell) that will lower or eliminate internal hum for connected equipment, and our exclusive
triple surge and spike protection circuitry.
With the UPC-HB you can clean, protect and lower hum
inside your connected equipment all with one unique dual output power conditioner.
The UPC-HB's internal Humbuster
Hum. Defined in an audio video setup as a constant "buzzing" noise coming from somewhere
in the system, or in a video setup as diagonal lines across the set, it can be one of the more
irritating aspects of system performance.
People have referred to the sound of it as an "angry insect" noise, a "low rumble", perhaps
simply "an irritating sound" describes it just as well. One thing for sure, it's annoying.
There are two places where audible hum makes itself apparent: the loudspeakers and inside
the equipment.
If you have hum coming through the loudspeakers it can usually be resolved by first locating
the source of the hum, either a ground loop or a defective piece of equipment and then fixing it
. We have a helpful tool called Humbusters that you can go to fix hum in your loudspeakers
and there's even a real engineer that will help you as well, if the tool doesn't get you where
you need to go.
Hum coming from the equipment itself is a more difficult problem to solve because it requires
sophisticated electrical circuitry. Typically caused by the gear's internal power transformer, this
mechanical vibration can range from soft to quite loud depending on the quality of your home's
AC power. AC power quality can vary from home to home, even from hour to hour making the
problem even more difficult to track down. This results in some equipment generating irritating
hums and buzzes at different times of the day in some homes while the identical piece doesn't hum in others.
The UPC-HB's internal Humbuster can be placed between any piece of equipment and the AC
wall source to lower and, in many cases, eliminate the irritating mechanical hum or buzz made
by power amplifiers, preamps, digital equipment or anything in your system that is merrily buzzing away.
It's almost like magic
Connect the Humbuster™ and voila! The hum's pretty much gone. How does it work? It
eliminates the DC component on the AC line.
