PG-1 Type C

Confidence inspiring power

There’s nothing worse than scoring that “must-have” piece of gear, only to find that it’s noisier 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 for modifying the best gear and making it even better, and that’s what it took to create the PG-1 Type C: taking industry-standard designs, and improving them to the point of peak performance. After creating the original PG-1, we knew that other parts of the world felt left out, as most power conditioners are built with only 120v USA style outlets, or require tons of expensive adapters to use with your equipment. The PG-1 Type C was built with this in mind: finally, a high end power conditioner, in a compact 1U design, with a total of eight Type 1 outlets!

High-end filtering

Your gear deserves the best power, and we took great care in making sure the PG-1 Type C delivers just that, thanks to PG-99 Filtering Technology. The PG-1 Type C is built using premium Panasonic and Wima capacitors, due to 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, but it’s protected from the most unsafe of scenarios that can happen! The PG-1 Type C features a bank of six 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 C also features two filtered convenience outlets and an XLR lamp connection on the front panel.

Professional features for professional power

It takes more than a few rack-mounted outlets to inspire true confidence in your power conditioner, and that’s where the PG-1 Type C delivers! The PG-1 Type C features a 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. Even in the worse power scenarios, the PG-1 Type C has your gear’s safety in mind.
