Know before you buy
The four high-current outlets provide a current reservoir that acts as a buffer for power-hungry amplifiers. This ensures your equipment has immediate access to power during dynamic musical peaks or intense movie scenes, preventing performance degradation.
The unit uses Linear Filtering Technology to reduce EMI/RFI noise across your power lines. By dividing the 13 outlets into three isolated banks, it prevents noise generated by one component from contaminating the signal of others in your system.
Yes, it features Series Multi-Stage Surge Suppression and Extreme Voltage Shutdown circuitry. If the unit detects a dangerous voltage level, it automatically shuts down power to your connected devices to prevent permanent damage.
Yes, the Elite-15 PFi includes a 12-volt trigger input. This allows you to turn the switched outlets on or off automatically when you power on your primary receiver or processor.
No, the rear panel utilizes hospital-grade connectors. These are designed to provide a much tighter, more secure grip on your power cables than standard residential outlets, preventing accidental disconnections.
Yes, the Elite-15 PFi includes protection circuitry for coaxial and phone lines. This ensures that surges traveling through your cable or internet lines do not reach your sensitive A/V equipment.
