RCP Audio Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 (edited) I was just in Best Buy and was in the section with the good brands and what is the purpose and benefits of a power managment? Is it to filter the power coming in from the wall? Im wanting to build my own so im starting to look into it alot are you talking about in your house? or in a PA/concert use? I use a UPS on all my front of house gear, because i have a digital desk and record everything through protools onto a external HDD so i use it to smooth the power out, aswel as save my ass if some drunk guy manages to trip on the taped down cable wich is known to happen hah. I dont know much about what you would use 'power management' for in your house sorry so i thought i would give my input incase its what you meant haha. edit: it could be used to keep track of consumption? idk just throwing ideas out there Edited February 9, 2012 by pinkoP35 Quote PSN: Rcp_soundz Good rule of thump is go by what fuse size is being used in these amps. The higher the more amperage it pulls, this is what I look at. I'll stick a 300 amp fuse in a potato and sell it to you for $2k. 1991 Mazda 323VERY small build thread here: http://www.stevemead...23-small-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaloosk Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 (edited) It's to pad the pockets of the Best Buy executives. Technically, yes it's to filter the power from the wall, but you really don't need it as the power supply in North America is pretty good.
