UltraLink PGX-500 Ultra Power AC Line Conditioner Reviewed
This more entry level unit is designed to protect your lower to mid-level home theater from power surges and do some basic conditioning. Its also designed to give up its life when a surge hits it unlike other AC power products.
The PGX-500 has 12 rear panel outlets, two of which have programmable delay, four are switched and six are un-switched or always on. The PGX-500 utilizes ASP Microprocessors, with over/under-voltage shut-down circuitry. What this means is, unlike other power products, when the PGX-500 is faced with a surge or a spat of “dirty” power, it will sacrifice itself by placing itself between your gear and the problem. This is more than a simple shut-down feature that many power products say will protect your system, when the fact is that, after shut-down, your products are still vulnerable. When the PGX-500 takes the hit for the betterment of your system, no power, zilch, will travel to your system until you replace the PGX-500 or re-plug your equipment into an outlet or other power product. I know that may seem a bit extreme, but would you rather pay 0 to replace a PGX-500 or ten times that amount if you’re rockin’ even a modest home theater full of gear? Beyond truly protecting your gear, the PGX-500 filters and cleans up noisy AC, ensuring the best audio and video performance from your gear.
