Ps audio directstream power plant p15 power regenerator - black

The P15 from Ps Audio is the second most powerful AC power regenerator, purifying, protecting, regulating, and regenerating new, unlimited energy from old power.

The DirectStream P15 Power Plant sets the benchmark for safety, reliability, and high-performance AC power regeneration. The P15 improves micro and macro dynamics, audio clarity, instrument separation, soundstage width and depth, and reduces background noise for any connected equipment. From medium and large power amplifiers to the smallest audio sources, the P15 will work its magic on your system's performance. Don't rob your music of its power, or risk damaging your equipment. A P15 gives you dramatically improved performance and safety simply by plugging it into a power outlet, as well as much wider, more open dynamics, bass, and a soundstage than any other power conditioner on the market.

Design

The P15 features an ultra-low impedance analog power amplifier, an FPGA-based sine wave generator running pure, clean analog DSD (PCM), 10 outlets (US version) distributed across 5 separate regeneration zones, and 1/4" thick copper bus bars that deliver regenerated power to each outlet. Through regeneration, the P15 creates an entirely new AC waveform that adds missing energy to the power line to correct serious problems.

Application

With a maximum power output of 1500 watts, the P15 regenerates stable, regulated, and pure AC power that is unaffected by the power demands of your equipment. By powering your system through the P15's power outlets, you'll discover new nuances, new harmonics, and renewed musicality. The benchmark for safety, reliability, and high-performance AC regeneration, the P15 will always provide an excellent listening experience and a solid foundation for your system.

Overview

The DirectStream Power Plant 15 represents the next generation of AC regeneration. It features 5 separate regeneration zones, a busbar distribution system, and 1500 watts of pure regenerated power. From medium and large power amplifiers to the smallest audio sources, the P15 will dramatically improve your system's performance. Expect dramatically improved micro and macro dynamics, as well as a cleaner, lower noise floor. Power regeneration uses active components, similar to those found in large, powerful audio amplifiers, to reconstruct AC power and produce clean, clear, distortion-free AC power. tuned for your equipment. The results are extraordinary: uncompromising dynamics even in the most intense passages, a wide and open soundstage that doesn't contract as the volume increases, and a truly remarkable naturalness of the music. The P15's 7-inch color display on the front panel allows you to measure distortion, both input and output, enhancement levels, and power consumption. You can also adjust settings, such as the on/off sequence and output voltage, as well as activate or deactivate individual zones and measure power quality with the built-in oscilloscope or THD analyzer.

Output

The P15 takes the noisy, distorted, and unregulated AC power in your home and transforms it into pure, flawless power that dramatically improves sound quality. This is done by reconstructing the AC power, reducing the output impedance, and adjusting the voltage. A low output impedance is essential for maintaining dynamic reproduction. Power your equipment through a power conditioner. Passive only makes the problem worse and should be avoided. The Power Plant, by contrast, has such a low output impedance (0.008Ω versus the typical 0.4Ω) that even the most demanding amplifiers will have no problem supplying clean AC power. When your amplifier must reproduce high orchestral sound levels, it is crucial that it has all the power it needs, and only a Power Plant provides consistent output regardless of the dynamic demands of your equipment or noise from neighbors. Power Plants also generate new waveforms that improve the capabilities of your equipment. MultiWave technology extends the peak charge time of the sine wave, so that connected equipment has greater energy storage capacity and less ripple in the mains. The results are astonishing: a wider and more musically accurate soundstage than a simple sine wave.

Protection

A surge wave, or transient spike, is a sharp, short-lived voltage surge that occurs when a sine wave is connected to a power source. propagates through the electrical wiring in our homes. It can severely damage connected equipment. Protecting devices from these potential electrical problems is crucial to safeguarding our investment and ensuring the safety of our homes. These electrical transients aren't the only problems that can potentially damage our sensitive audio systems. There are also prolonged overvoltage conditions that many surge suppression devices cannot protect equipment from. Homeowners who have invested in a Power Plant can rest assured that their connected equipment will be safe from any electrical grid event, such as overvoltage, undervoltage, spikes, surges, and potentially dangerous problems. The input voltage to the Power Plant is fully protected by state-of-the-art limiting devices, and the Power Plant's output is fully regulated, so even large voltage swings that would normally damage connected equipment are made safe through limiting or regulation. In most cases, connected equipment benefits from the protection and performance of a fully regulated power supply, even in extreme circumstances.
