awinters3 Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 need to hook my ultra 5.1's up to a power strip, no extra outlets. what should my strip be rated to push the 5.1 s as to get the full potential on these beauties... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonfyr Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 A typical strip is rated at 15amps, as is the typical service outlet. And I have a suspicion that the Promedias are designed to operate from a standard outlet! But not being certain of the current rating for the model of which you speak, I would check the label or the manual for the current rating (amperage) and use a strip that is rated the same or greater.

Erukian Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 any powerstrip/surge protector should be able to handle the ultra's fine, even the $5-10 ones. I've never heard of a bad surge protector hurting sound quality, honestly. Thats like the myth that power cords affect sound quality. Also, try to keep promedia questions to the promedia forum, that's what it's there for, so people who actually own the product can help you, not just give you "best guess" like some of us do in these forums. -Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awinters3 Posted July 22, 2005 Author Share Posted July 22, 2005 granted, this is a "technical " question. i also posted on promedia 5.1 because amy,a moderator ,had mentioned the power strip rating as possibly being a problem for another poster. i had not as yet gotten any response for my Q over there though. thanks for your input Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
