Black Lion Audio - PG-1 Type F MKII

In the studio, the power supply is often underestimated... until unwanted noise or a power surge puts valuable equipment at risk. The Black Lion PG-1 Type F MKII is here to remedy the situation. This 1U rack-mount voltage stabiliser is more than just a socket box: it's a true guardian of audio signal quality, combining high-performance filtering, intelligent protection and everyday practicality.

At the heart of this model is PG-99 technology, developed by Black Lion, which reduces line noise by up to 99.7%. This level of filtering is made possible by the use of top-of-the-range components such as Panasonic and Wima capacitors, renowned for their efficiency at high frequencies. The result: connected devices deliver their full sound potential, unaffected by network interference.

The PG-1 Type F MKII doesn't just filter: it also protects. With a surge absorption capacity of 2775 joules, it acts as a shield against voltage peaks. Six switched sockets at the rear are divided into four independent sections (digital audio, analogue audio, high power), two of which are time-delayed to avoid jolts when amplifiers and loudspeakers are switched on or off. Two additional sockets are available on the front for quick connections, as well as a 5V/2A USB port for charging a mobile device, and an XLR connector for a lamp.

On the monitoring side, the PG-1 Type F MKII displays voltage in real time via a digital voltmeter, complemented by a series of LED indicators for ground status, polarity, filtering, overvoltage and abnormal voltages. In the event of a problem, an audible alert sounds to avoid any unpleasant surprises.

This stabiliser combines safety, reliability and ease of use. It's ideal for both professional studios and home studios looking for a clean, stable power supply to preserve the quality of their recordings.
