into any standard 15-amp 120-volt wall outlet as does it's smaller sibling, the Son of Q Jr., which has a 1000 Watt AC load capacity.  The largest of the three, the Son of Q Sr. can drive 2000 Watts

appearance.  They feature an anodized aluminum front panel that is available in black or silver.  On the front panel there are 2 LED indicator lights, one above the input power switch and one above the output standby switch that monitor power status at the input and at the output of the unit.  The input power LED doubles as a TVSS status light that indicates active surge protection when lit.  On rare occasion if it stops working and the output light still works, that means that the surge protector has taken a big hit and expired.  In the rare event that this happens, the Son of Q transformer's grounded Faraday shield maintains excellent backup surge protection until the TVSS can be replaced.  On the back panel, there are 12 outlets provided.  A GFCI outlet is independent from the front standby switch and is constantly left turned on for use with components that require continuous power for a clock or to maintain memory.  Of the 10 remaining outlets, 6 (white) are for analog components such as self-powered monitors, amplifiers, pre amps, crossovers etc. and 4 (gray) are specially filtered outlets for digital gear.  A circuit breaker on the rear panel protects the system from overload and from potential short circuit fire hazards in electrical power cords and downstream connected equipment.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOpen the lid on a Son of Q and see for yourself how well made these systems truly are.  There is no skimping on how Son of Qs are designed and built.  All three models use isolation transformers with an enormous mass that rival competitors' products with twice the current rating.  The Son of Q Jr. is modestly rated at 1000 Watts with a transformer that compares to our competitors 20-amp systems.  The Jr.'s heart is massive but the Son of Q Sr. is nearly twice the size.  Son of Q transformers are designed to operate with an extremely low impedance and a very low magnetic flux density.  This means that under load, they operate with a lot of magnetic headroom left in reserve and they can transfer current quickly upon demand to amplifier power supplies when a large transient occurs.  Their magnetic shields allow for use near sensitive equipment such as single-coil pickups and tape machines.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost of today's project recording studios do not require a high level of continuous current to operate efficiently.  The power supplies simply do not have the mass and size that require a constant high current power source but at times they do demand high current in short bursts, especially class AB monitor amps and self-powered speakers.  The Son of Qs like the Model Qs are one of the few power products in the marketplace that routinely maintain a high power factor when used with high current pulse demand loads.  They actually enhance playback quality rather than get in the way and make an amplifier sound compressed.  Son of Qs are designed to be a perfect fit in project studios with small to medium sized boards, an outboard rack or two, a keyboard setup and self-powered monitors (or modestly sized monitor amps.)  Like the Model Q, their performance specifications are rated for top engineers and professionals in the industry but their price is more

of course as a highly effective means of reducing background noise. Typically audio and video hum is greatly reduced or eliminated completely, digital jitter is cut in half and there will be a significantly wider dynamic range. Eight sizes of rack mountable 120-volt balanced power systems are offered with an output capacity range of 1000 to 10,000 VA (8.3 - 83 Amps continuous duty.)\n\nAt the heart of each system is a highly efficient, precision wound toroid isolation transformer with a patented winding design that makes Equi=Tech systems the most accurately balanced systems in the world. Besides voltage, the impedance across the transformer's output is also precisely balanced which insures the broadest band noise cancellation possible -- the absolute state-of-the-art. Equi=Tech transformers are precision wound just for today's most sensitive digital electronics. Standard rack system transformers are equipped with Faraday shields for superior isolation and high common mode noise rejection. Also, a very low magnetic stray field design with additional magnetic shielding makes Equi=Tech rack systems safe for use near sensitive tape machines in racks.","brand":"Equitech","offers":[{"title":"Default

Low-noise in a studio equates to more clarity. Having balanced power helps your gear...no matter how much or little you own.  The Equitech Model Q supports your gear to operate at its fullest capacity. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor example, the material used in the Equitech Model Q transformer core is made of a state-of-the-art magnetic steel alloy and none is spared in fabrication.

It drives amplifiers and other high current pulse type loads without skipping a beat.  Power factor remains virtually stable regardless of the type of demand load.

This is simply the nature of what are termed “non-linear reactive loads.”  When non-linear power supplies are energized, some measure of power is wasted and reflected back out onto the line.  This undesirable and noisy form of energy (harmonics) is then shared by every other component on the system.  Furthermore, voltage and current phases are knocked out of sync too and this is what is referred to as low power factor.  Electricity by its nature requires both current and voltage to be present at the same time or nothing happens.  In AC power, current and voltage must be timed together in sync or to the degree they are not, nothing happens.  As the power factor drops lower and lower, electricity thins out very much like cheaper gasoline and equipment performance suffers.  Generally speaking, the greater the load (e.g. large amplifiers) the lower the resulting power factor. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_1\"\u003eUltra Low Impedance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe ultra-low impedance design of the Model Q transformer provides unrestricted current delivery to its output and virtually busts the “myth” that transformers cannot handle high amplitude current transients demanded by amplifiers and other types of high current pulse loads.  Unlike typical transformers that are often considered to be “too current restricting” (and rightfully so,) Model Q transformers have been engineered with radical modifications made to their core and winding specifications which result in a transformer that has uncommonly low impedance and unrestricted current handling characteristics. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_2\"\u003e100% Passive Circuitry\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThere are no active components used in any Equitech product.  There is nothing that will degrade from heat over time or from years of rugged use.  Similar systems may use semiconductor devices to drive their outputs or soft start relays to compensate for a low quality isolation transformer with high inrush current, but not Equitech's!

This means that very little power is inefficiently wasted when powering electronic components.  Even when driven hard, they generate very little heat and they are barely warm to the touch.  They draw very little power in idle mode and can be left turned on indefinitely, ready to meet extreme power demands in an instant.  In operational mode, they waste almost no power drawing approximately what they put out. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_4\"\u003eMagnetic and Faraday Shielding\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThese indispensable features are included in every Equitech product.

In a recording environment, the most obvious difference is an extremely low noise floor that permits hotter tracking across the board. To a professional, capturing low level detail is essential to create a live environment and add excitement to the mix. (Often they pay for themselves in downtime saved from troubleshooting noise gremlins in the studio.) Because of a substantially lower noise floor, mikes can be tracked much hotter without annoying noise or hiss to mask detail in low level signals. Outboard racks run \"quiet as a clam\" (to quote Mr. Roger Nichols) and musician's racks almost never bring noise into the studio. These systems have been measured to reduce digital jitter by as much as 67% which is unheard of in any digital environment without balanced power. The only thing better for mastering is the Model Q for hearing a full range mix, but compared to mixing without one, the difference in fidelity with a Son of Q is astonishing. The Son of Q is a highly cost effective rack unit used by numerous professional engineers in pro-tools studios. (\"I refuse to work in a studio without one.\" states Mr. Nichols.) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The Son is offered in 3 different sizes.

The largest of the three, the Son of Q Sr. can drive 2000 Watts of load but it requires a full sized 20-amp outlet such as the kind found near most modern kitchen counter tops. They run silently emitting no audible noise. They run luke water warm at the most when loaded up to full capacity. The entire Son of Q line has been thoughtfully designed with many years of balanced power manufacturing experience behind them. They are the new generation of standard systems that we build, refined beyond any product that we have ever offered in their price range. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Son of Qs have a simple yet elegant appearance.

Son of Q Jr. Power Conditioner #S-007213 (Used)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Son of Q is offered in 3 different sizes.  The original Son of Q model has a 1500 Watt capacity and plugs into any standard 15-amp 120-volt wall outlet as does it's smaller sibling, the \u003cstrong\u003eEquitech Son of Q Jr.\u003c\/strong\u003e, which has a 1000 Watt AC load capacity.  The largest of the three, the Son of Q Sr. can drive 2000 Watts of load but it requires a full sized 20-amp outlet such as the kind found near most modern kitchen countertops. \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eSon of Qs have a simple yet elegant appearance.  They feature an anodized aluminum front panel that is available in black or silver.  On the front panel there are 2 LED indicator lights, one above the input power switch and one above the output standby switch that monitor power status at the input and at the output of the unit.  The input power LED doubles as a TVSS status light that indicates active surge protection when lit.  On rare occasion if it stops working and the output light still works, that means that the surge protector has taken a big hit and expired.  In the rare event that this happens, the Son of Q transformer's grounded Faraday shield maintains excellent backup surge protection until the TVSS can be replaced.  On the back panel, there are 12 outlets provided.  A GFCI outlet is independent from the front standby switch and is constantly left turned on for use with components that require continuous power for a clock or to maintain memory.  Of the 10 remaining outlets, 6 (white) are for analog components such as self-powered monitors, amplifiers, pre amps, crossovers etc. and 4 (gray) are specially filtered outlets for digital gear.  A circuit breaker on the rear panel protects the system from overload and from potential short circuit fire hazards in electrical power cords and downstream connected equipment.  \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eOpen the lid on a Son of Q and see for yourself how well made these systems truly are.  There is no skimping on how Son of Qs are designed and built.  All three models use isolation transformers with an enormous mass that rival competitors' products with twice the current rating.  The Son of Q Jr. is modestly rated at 1000 Watts with a transformer that compares to our competitors 20-amp systems.  The Jr.'s heart is massive but the Son of Q Sr. is nearly twice the size.  Son of Q transformers are designed to operate with an extremely low impedance and a very low magnetic flux density.  This means that under load, they operate with a lot of magnetic headroom left in reserve and they can transfer current quickly upon demand to amplifier power supplies when a large transient occurs.  Their magnetic shields allow for use near sensitive equipment such as single-coil pickups and tape machines. \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eMost of today's project recording studios do not require a high level of continuous current to operate efficiently.  The power supplies simply do not have the mass and size that require a constant high current power source but at times they do demand high current in short bursts, especially class AB monitor amps and self-powered speakers.  The Son of Qs like the Model Qs are one of the few power products in the marketplace that routinely maintain a high power factor when used with high current pulse demand loads.  They actually enhance playback quality rather than get in the way and make an amplifier sound compressed.  Son of Qs are designed to be a perfect fit in project studios with small to medium sized boards, an outboard rack or two, a keyboard setup and self-powered monitors (or modestly sized monitor amps.)  Like the Model Q, their performance specifications are rated for top engineers and professionals in the industry but their price is more affordable.\u003c\/p\u003e    \u003ch3 id=\"toc_1\"\u003eSPECIFICATIONS:\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cul\u003e

isolating power transformer and power cables for both 15A and 20A inputs. Just as in balanced audio, interference and noise “ride” on an unbalanced signal. The Equitech idea is to balance your power in a similar fashion as balanced audio to prevent noise from infiltrating your power and decreasing the audio quality. By splitting the signal into two legs and inverting phase of one, the unit can reassemble, isolate and eliminate what is not signal, thereby improving the signal to noise and improving your audio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_0\"\u003eHOW DOES AN EQUI=TECH CONDITIONER WORK?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEquitech uses a very large, specially designed Equitech transformer to split 120 V into one 60 V leg and one phase inverted 60 V leg. These two legs are then reassembled without artifacts on special outlets on the back of the unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis by nature creates Common Mode Rejection (CMMR) and cancels the differences between legs such as noise, hums, ground loops and other unwanted distortions and artifacts. Plug your components in just as before, but now they get 100% of their power from the Equitech, offering a cleaner, pure 60 Hz sine wave power. You will most likely hear a full range of improvements in your audio system, from better dynamics to improved stereo imaging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_1\"\u003eWHAT MAKES EQUI=TECH DIFFERENT?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Equitech process for improving power is different compared to all other power conditioners, surge protectors or filters. Most conditioners use filtering to reduce noise (which chokes and prevents transients), but filtering is the same as EQ in audio, its only reduces some noise, it doesn’t prevent it. And like EQ, filtering itself has artifacts that affect audio quality. Equitech Balanced Power system focuses on prevention rather than repair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_2\"\u003eHOW DO I USE IT?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSimply plug the Equitech unit into a 15A or 20A circuit using the supplied 15A or 20A cord. The Equitech Balanced Power system does its work silently, without any kind of electronic processing, by isolating anything that it isn’t a clean 60 Hz sine wave.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_3\"\u003eCHOOSING THE RIGHT EQUI=TECH\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/vintageking.com\/equitech-2r-2ru-balanced-power-system-120v\"\u003e2R\u003c\/a\u003e version features an entry-level transformer and the 2RQ features an upgraded high performance, low impedance transformer. Also, you'll need to know how many “circuits” you have in your studio (how many dedicated 15A or 20A breakers apply to outlets in that room). You will need one Equitech for each circuit. For example, a Equitech 2RQ with a 15A input cord needs to limit its total suppled power to under 15 amps.

This further extends the effective bandwidth of noise attenuation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Equitech","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44451336716391,"sku":"456741","price":4495.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/equitech-model-q-power-conditioner-black_-20-amp_-120-v-8332-used_456741_1.jpg?v=1787096843"},{"product_id":"equitech-1r-balanced-power-system-demo-deal","title":"Equitech 1R Balanced Power System (Demo Deal)","description":"\u003cp\u003eOver three decades of research in the field of balanced AC power has resulted in the \u003cstrong\u003eEquitech 1R Balanced Power System\u003c\/strong\u003e - the most affordable answer to experiencing the many benefits that Equitech has to offer. Most of today’s project recording studios do not require a high level of continuous current to operate efficiently. The power supplies simply do not have the mass and size that necessitate a constant high current power source, but at times they do demand high current in short bursts, especially class AB monitor amps and self-powered speakers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Equitech Model R series, like the Model O series, is one of the only line of power products in the marketplace that routinely maintains a high power factor when used with high current pulse demand loads. They actually enhance playback quality rather than get in the way and make an amplifier sound compressed. As with all Equitech products, every component specified in its design has been selected from years of research\/testing in professional and consumer high definition A\/V systems in analog and digital formats.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eModel 1R transformers are rated at 1000 Watts (10A) and designed to be a perfect fit in project studios with small to medium sized boards, an outboard rack or two, a keyboard setup, and self-powered monitors (or modestly sized monitor amps.) Like the Model 0, their performance specifications are rated for top engineers and professionals in the industry at a more affordable price. They are designed to operate with an extremely low impedance and very low magnetic flux density. This means that under load, they operate with a lot of magnetic headroom left in reserve and they can transfer current quickly upon demand to amplifier power supplies when a large transient occurs. Their magnetic shields allow for use near sensitive equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Equitech","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44451377512551,"sku":"509383","price":1789.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/equitech-1r_467307_1_938ec69f-8e62-40e9-a06f-19e565443932.jpg?v=1787096998"}],"url":"https:\/\/vintageking1.myshopify.com\/collections\/equitech.oembed","provider":"VINTAGE KING AUDIO","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
