Black Lion PG-XLM 9-Outlet 1U Rackmount Power Conditioner with Lamps

Black Lion PG-XLM: Clean Power, Metering, and Rack Lighting in 1U

The Black Lion Audio PG-XLM is a 1U rackmount studio power conditioner, adding a voltage meter and two pull-out rack lamps to nine filtered outlets. It combines clean power, real-time monitoring, and built-in lighting in a single rack space. Eight switched outlets on the rear serve permanent gear, while one convenience outlet on the front handles chargers and tools. It is the conditioner for engineers who want to see their voltage and light their rack.

What a Power Conditioner Does

A power conditioner filters and protects the AC power your gear runs on rather than just multiplying outlets. It removes EMI and RFI, the electrical and radio interference that adds hiss and buzz to audio, and it absorbs voltage spikes before they reach your equipment. That lowers the noise floor and guards sensitive electronics from damage. The PG-XLM builds monitoring and lighting on top of that core job.

PG-90 Filtering Technology

PG-90 is the filtering stage the PG-XLM uses to remove high-frequency noise from the incoming line. In testing it filters an average of 90 percent of electrical noise, compared with roughly 76 percent for many units in the same class. Premium capacitors target the high-frequency interference that muddies quiet recordings. The result is a cleaner, quieter feed for every device in the rack.

A Digital Voltage Meter You Can Read at a Glance

A front-panel LED voltage meter reports the incoming line voltage in real time. That reading makes a sagging circuit or an overvoltage condition easy to catch before it affects a session. Studios on older wiring benefit most, since their voltage tends to swing the most. Knowing the voltage at a glance turns guesswork about the power into a simple check.

Two Pull-Out LED Lamps for the Rack

The PG-XLM includes two retractable LED lights that pull out from the front panel to illuminate the rack. Three-way switching sets each lamp to off, low, or high depending on how much light the room needs. In a dim control room the lamps make patching cables and reading labels far easier. Tucked back in, they keep the front panel clean when the lights are up.

Nine Outlets, USB Charging, and Surge Protection

Eight switched, filtered, surge-protected outlets on the rear power the gear that stays wired in the rack. One convenience outlet and a USB charging port on the front handle quick tasks and devices. Every outlet passes through filtering and surge protection to shield equipment from spikes and transients. A single switch brings the whole rig up or down at once.

Where the Black Lion PG-XLM Fits

Studios and live rigs use the PG-XLM when they want clean power plus a clear view of the line and built-in rack lighting. Its PG-90 filtering keeps the noise floor low, and the voltage meter flags trouble early. The pull-out lamps earn their keep in dark control rooms and dim stages. It suits engineers who want conditioning, monitoring, and light in one rack space.
