Black Lion PG-X: Clean Studio Power in a Single Rack Space

The Black Lion Audio PG-X is a 1U rackmount studio power conditioner, wired with nine outlets and a 15-amp maximum load. It sits in one rack space and feeds an entire rig from a single filtered, surge-protected source. Eight switched outlets on the rear handle permanent gear, while one convenience outlet on the front stays ready for a charger or tool. It delivers straightforward, dependable power management without extra bulk.

What a Power Conditioner Does for Your Gear

A power conditioner cleans and protects the AC power your equipment runs on rather than simply splitting one outlet into many. It filters EMI and RFI, the electrical and radio interference that adds hiss and buzz to audio, and it absorbs voltage spikes before they reach your gear. That combination lowers the noise floor and shields sensitive electronics from damage. The PG-X packs both jobs into one rack space.

PG-90 Filtering Technology Explained

PG-90 is the filtering stage the PG-X 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 handle the high-frequency interference that muddies quiet recordings. The result is a cleaner, quieter power feed for the whole rack.

Nine Outlets and a 15-Amp Supply

Eight switched, filtered, surge-protected outlets on the rear power the gear that stays wired in the rack. One convenience outlet on the front adds quick access for a laptop charger or a soldering iron. The unit supplies up to 15 amps of current, enough headroom for a busy studio rack. A single power switch brings the whole rig up or down at once.

Surge Protection Rated at 2775 Joules

Joules measure how much surge energy a protector can absorb before it stops shielding your gear, so a bigger number means more headroom. The PG-X carries a 2775-joule absorption rating built for studio-grade equipment. That protects converters, preamps, and monitors from lightning-induced spikes and sudden voltage jumps. A front USB port rounds out the panel by charging a device without a wall outlet.

One-Switch Operation in a Single Rack Space

The PG-X keeps its controls simple, bringing the whole rack up or down with a single power switch. Housed in one rack unit, it leaves the rest of the rails free for the processors it feeds. Its uncluttered panel suits engineers who want protection and filtering without meters or lamps to manage. Setup is as easy as mounting it, plugging in the rack, and switching on.

Where the Black Lion PG-X Fits

Project studios and live rigs use the PG-X as a clean, no-frills power foundation for a rack of outboard gear. Its PG-90 filtering keeps the noise floor low, and its surge rating guards against spikes. A single rack space leaves room for the processors it protects. It suits anyone who wants solid conditioning and protection without metering or extras.
