- Today we make a review and give an honest opinion about two devices that create a lot of polemic in the audio community, Power Conditioners And UPS units. We highlight the benefits of both to the studio, and why in my opinion, these two devices are a must in the studio!

Thanks 🙏 a lot for your comment, very happy to hear that the video is useful for you :) I guess you find the content useful because actually I am not a UA-camr, I’m a mastering engineer and I starting to recording this videos because I constantly receive from our clients and people who ask us for a free evaluation of their tracks comments like “I’m happy with our sound quality in general but not totally convinced about the drums, how you think we can have a better drums sound ?” Or “We are thinking in buy analog gear to our recording studio in order to achieve better results, what kind of gear you recommend us to buy?” Or people with a lot of doubts about the mastering process or with doubts about the acoustic treatment for the room and I think from the perspective of a “studio guy” How I can help all this amazing people with their doubts trough my experience and personal opinion and I think well what If I create a UA-cam channel for the studio where I can make videos about the things that they asked me more frequently but also about things I know from my own experience that are much more important than what the ultimate gear for this or that, such how important are power conditioners and UPS units to reduce electrical noise in our recordings, specially in home studios, or even basic things like how much better our tracks sounds keeping our music instruments well tune and intonate and also recommending gear that I personally tried on the studio and I think it is useful and sounds amazing…I mean I starting the channel with zero intention to be a UA-camr but all the intention to help and learn from you guys too and create a healthy community around the studio with creative and talented people, so I’m very happy you find useful the videos and thanks 🙏 a lot for your feedback and support this motivates me to create more and better content….:)
So this unit is outside of your studio and has multiple studio outlets connected to a single UPS output? Or you run one studio outlet to one UPS output?
Hi Gregory thanks 🙏 a lot for your comments. Not in my studio inside the studio I have the UPS unit where I plug all the electronic devices such video monitors, computer, small lights etc and in the other side of the studio inside the studio in a Furman conditioning power unit I have connected all the audio gear, speakers, guitar amps, to protect them from spikes electrical noise (it’s not the ultimate solution because the ideal is to install outside the studio between the electricity that comes from the outside of the property and the studio a proper electrical purifying and conditioning unit to supply clean and stable electricity, but in addition to the high cost of that which is several thousands, you have to be the owner of the property because it requires the approval of the installation, permissions etc etc etc) The most realistic and low cost effective options are smart UPS for the electronic equipment and power conditioners for the rest of the audio gear, I did this because I don’t own the property where my studio is located and as you can guess London is one of the most expensive cities in the world so to own the property we are talking about 2 to 3 millions pounds and yep If I have it to expend it in a property I don’t purchase it in London for sure, not worth to pay that amount of money for a 200 years old or even more Victorian house ( I love it for rent but I surely invest it in a place like Cornwall and build my studio with views to the sea :) for this price)
Hello mate! Can I use the UPS for my Focusrite Clarett interface? I'm curious cause I just bought a new UPS device, but I'm not sure if I can use it for interfaces as well. Thanks!
Hi man, thanks 🙏 for your comment. The UPS are recommended for everything that is not audio gear, meaning Video Monitors, computers, external hard drive units, but if you have an audio Interface definitely a power conditioning device such as Furman is the right choice, for everything that is audio devices choose a power conditioning instead an UPS. The UPS in addition to keeping the spikes and tension changes in electronic equipments under control, the main feature they had is that when you have a electric power cut in your home or studio due the battery that this devices have keep your computer and video monitors on for few minutes (3-5 min aprox) to gives you extra time to save the session and safe your work. But the power conditioning devices such Furman not do that, what they do is protect your audio gear units, speakers, audio interface etc and if you have a cut the Furman blows taking the impact and shutting down your gear safety way and due most of them have filters eliminate a lot of the electrical noise that the internal cables of the building where the studio is located introducing in the audio signal…that’s the difference so remember UPS for computers, Video Monitors and electronic devices and Furman or any power conditioning for audio devices to connect your gear :) I hope this helps you my friend, happy to help… be around because I soon I starting the new season of the Channel with tons of new useful videos Thanks 🙏 for writing have a great weekend
Thanks for taking your time to give me an answer! It was helpful for sure! I'm subbed amigo mio.@@solarvoxstudioofficialchan3252
Hello. When your components (computer, speakers, monitors, etc.) are turned off, is it safe to turn off an ONLINE UPS, so the fan does not have to be on 24/7? Will the online UPS recall my numeric settings on the unit when I turn it back on? Thanks in advance, and thanks for this video
Hey there, thanks for your feedback and support. For this specific type of question the best is check the manual of users because each UPS unit is different. In my case and for the model I have here in the studio, the components turned off when the unit switch off and when I turn on again the UPS unit I’m able to start to put on the computer and rest of the devices plugged to the unit, and the unit makes all the job but it is because this specific UPS works this way, in your case I think you should check on the user’s manual or contact someone in the tech support of the brand you use because every unit and every manufacturer has their own protocols and specific way to use it. I’m sorry I can’t not answer your question because I’m not a technician I’m just an user , but I’m pretty sure if you contact the manufacturers of your unit they can help you better than me
Do you use both,, I got furman power conditioner but the dynamic of the sound still move diffrnt im not happy wth my sound.,Maybe i should get ups!!? Whats your opinion on that!.Thanks🙏🏾
Thanks for your comment and your feedback, in the simplest way to explain to is that the current of an electronic device is differentbto the current of the audio gear, the circuitry but also the waves when you see it in an oscilloscope are different, that's why the UPS handle better than the furman that specific type of current. The ideal set up is to have both of the de devices, and keep it in separate sockets.
@@solarvoxstudioofficialchan3252 ok thank u i will try that🙏🏾

✌🎶🔥
Thanks for your feedback! Gracias 🙏, I hope is useful for you..
Can I connect my furman into the ups?
No Furman deal with the current of audio gear devices such EQ, Speakers, Mic-Pre amps and if you read the manual they recommended to connect the unit straight to the wall socket without anything in between, and the UPS unit deal with other type of current, PC, video monitor, external hard drive units, etc and make that the electricity flows from the wall socket trough the electronic devices more clean way without spikes and y if you get an electrical cut the ups aloud you to get 2-3 minutes or more depending of the model extra of energy to get time to save your sessions on the computer hard drive or external hard drive before the computer switch off. They are totally different devices and never should be connect the way you ask, that can cause an electric cut or in the worst scenario starting a fire on your house, is a very dangerous thing to connect a Furman In to an UPS so don’t do it! If you get any doubt about your electrical connections in the studio ask a professional to guide you trough they know how to help you
@@solarvoxstudioofficialchan3252 I was wondering the same, and this is a great answer. Thank you!
clicking off because your background music is totally distracting from the information you're trying to convey
That’s absolutely fine, maybe are out there another type of videos that are better for you, it’s totally fine my friend thanks 🙏 for your feedback
