PowerPlant 12

PowerPlant 12

Our most powerful compact AC regenerator, the P12 regenerates new, safe, and pure AC from your home's power outlets for breathtaking improvement.
The DirectStream Power Plant 12 takes your incoming AC power and regenerate new sine-wave-perfect, regulated high current AC power. In the process of regeneration any problems on your power line such as low voltage, distorted waveforms, sagging power and noise are eliminated. The results are both audibly and visually stunning when powering either audio or video products. Further, the level of protection afforded connected equipment is extraordinary. Feel 100% confident that a P12 will provide pure and safe power under any condition. Don’t starve your music or risk damaging your equipment. A P12 gives you greatly improved performance and safety from just plugging into the wall socket and far better dynamics, bass and a much bigger, open soundstage than any passive power conditioner on the market.

This product is only available through a dealer in your area.

  • Design

    The P12 takes your incoming AC power, converts it to DC, and then regenerates it, producing new sine-wave-perfect, regulated high current AC power. The input voltage to the P12 is fully protected by state-of-the-art clamping devices and the output is fully regulated, so even large voltage swings that would normally damage connected equipment are made safe by either clamping or regulating. The P12 PowerPlant features 8 outlets (US version) across 4 separate zones and delivers 1250 watts of pure, regenerated power to each receptacle through thick, copper busbars.

  • Application

    In the process of regeneration, any problems on your power line, such as low voltage, distorted waveforms, and sagging power, are eliminated. With your system powered directly from the output of the P12, you can expect far better micro and macro dynamics, as well as cleaner, lower background noise. This is one of the most important pieces of audio equipment you can own, building a firm and reliable foundation for your system that will serve you for years to come.

    Technology

    PowerPlants are personal AC generators that provide hard-working, perfected results from the AC power line. Power regeneration uses active components, like those found in large, powerful audio amplifiers, to rebuild the AC power and produce clean, clear, distortion-free, regulated AC to the equipment. The results of feeding your equipment with low output impedance are dramatic: unrestrained dynamics even under the loudest passages, an open, wide soundstage that does not collapse with volume and a naturalness to the music that is remarkable. The 4.3-inch, full color display on the front panel of the P12 allows you to measure distortion, both incoming and outgoing, improvement levels, and power consumption. You can also adjust your settings, such as the turn on/off sequence and the output voltage, as well as turn individual zones on or off, and measure the power quality with either the built-in oscilloscope or the THD analyzer.
