AC Power Products



ETA UNINTERRUPTIBLE POWER MANAGER
ETA Systems introduces the Uninterruptible Power Manager (UPM). Each UPM completely conditions AC power. When AC power is lost, a low-distortion sine wave inverter provides up to six minutes of runtime. Digital recording and editing systems cannot function when power goes out and work may be lost. ETA’s UPM family is designed to prevent such an occurrence. Five North American and five more international models are available. An optional management software package is available. Price: $600 to $1,500. NAMM booth: #6928.

ETA POWER CONDITIONERS
ETA Systems introduces a family of high-performance power conditioners. Each conditioner includes an isolation transformer, surge diverter and noise filter. The digital circuitry at the heart of many audio systems requires ultra-pure electrical power. These power conditioners surpass simple filters and surge protectors, and are perfect for use with digital or microprocessor-based mixers, workstations and peripherals. Fifteen models are available for North American applications and nine more models are intended for international use. Price: $126 to $1,831. NAMM booth: #6928.

It also features a laboratory-grade digital voltmeter and Furman’s SMP+ technology, which filters transverse noise and protects equipment from power problems. Price: $1,799. NAMM booth: #6874.
