The Black Lion Audio PG-P Type F is a compact power conditioner for professional-level mobile applications and features six filtered outputs with surge protection. It is additionally equipped with Panasonic capacitors that provide noise filtering that is on a par with that of most rackmount power conditioners, while the 3m mains cable ensures flexible connectivity. The user can see from the LED indicators whether the PG-P Type F is connected to the power grid in phase before it is switched on, which is essential for it to function correctly. All of these features together make the Black Lion Audio PG-P Type F a safe and reliable power conditioner for every application, from live performance to studio production.
The Black Lion Audio PG-P Type F features three LED indicators that warn the user of any operational problems. "Ground OK" indicates whether the unit has been connected to a properly grounded power supply: If this LED does not light up, the PG-P Type F must be disconnected from the power source and the fault rectified. The "Protection On" LED indicates that the surge protection circuits are working properly: If this LED remains off, there is a malfunction and the unit must be unplugged immediately. Finally, the "Clean Power On" LED indicates that all connected devices are being supplied with clean AC power.
Black Lion Audio has designed the PG-P Type F for studio professionals who know how indispensable a safe and reliable power supply is when it comes to achieving excellent production results - after all, the performance level of professional studio equipment and synthesizers is determined not only by the components used but also by the quality of the power with which they are supplied. As mentioned above, this power conditioner is equipped with premium-grade Panasonic capacitors to reduce high-frequency noise which prevents equipment from achieving peak performance. What is more, the Black Lion Audio PG-P Type F features a rugged aliminium housing that will easily stand up to life on the road and in the live production environment, and its recessed feet will ensure that it doesn't slip on any surface. Suitable screws (sold separately) can also be used to fix the unit in place.
Black Lion Audio is a US company from Chicago that has become known for the modification of industry-renowned microphone preamplifiers, digital-to-analogue converters, and signal processors. However, the manufacturer's portfolio also includes innovations such as the PG-1 Type F Power Conditioner, which was developed completely in-house. The Black Lion Audio team has always taken great care to only produce devices with a high standard of sound and workmanship, which has earned the manufacturer an international reputation within the audio industry. With the 2021 release of the Revolution 2x2, Black Lion Audio also expanded its existing product range with a compact audio interface, which brought to bear all of the manufacturer’s accumulated experience and expertise.
As previously mentioned, it is essential for the Black Lion Audio PG-P Type F to be connected to the mains supply in phase, which means that the plug must be connected to the wall socket the correct way round before the PG-P Type F is switched on. If the "Ground OK" LED lights up before the unit is switched on, the mains plug must be disconnected, rotated by 180 degrees, and plugged in again. If no LEDs light up while the unit is switched off, the PG-P Type F is already connected in phase. After switch-on, the three LEDs will then provide the intended information as to the status of the noise filtering, surge protection, and grounding functions.
