Delivers Pure 60Hz Power
Frustrated by the dirty power in your studio? If so, you need to get an Equitech Model 2R — ASAP. The 2R is unlike standard surge protectors and power conditioners, which rely on transient-choking, blunt-force filtering to reduce noise. Much like balanced audio, the 2R's large, proprietary Equitech transformer leverages common-mode rejection to eliminate unwanted noises, such as hiss, hum, ground loops, and distortion, refining your power down to a pure 60Hz sine wave with zero filter-induced sonic artifacts. In contrast to most power conditioners, which attempt to filter or repair dirty power after the fact, Equitech's Balanced Power system prevents electrical noise from rearing its ugly head in the first place, leaving you with squeaky-clean audio, improved dynamics, and better imaging. If you want to safeguard your studio against noisy power, you'll find few solutions more effective than the Equitech Model 2R.

What's a balanced power conditioner?
Similar to balanced audio, balanced power conditioners like the Equitech Model 2R employ common-mode rejection to eliminate unwanted noise. The 2R houses a large, proprietary Equitech transformer to split 120 volts into one 60-volt leg and one phase-inverted 60-volt leg. The two legs are then reassembled, thereby eliminating any sonic artifacts that aren't part of the pure signal, including hiss, ground loop hum, and distortion. Here at Sweetwater, we've found balanced power conditioning superior to standard, filter-based power conditioning, which often chokes your transients. The 2R not only safeguards against unwanted noise, but it does so without electronic processing, isolating anything that isn't a clean, 60Hz sine wave.
