Medical grade power strip with surge protector in metal casing would be more than enough. It will cost you around $50-$100. If you have dedicated line get one without filtering option.
Surge Protectors
Hello Friends,
I recently added a dedicated 20amp circuit just for my Dutch & Dutch 8C's (active speakers). In addition to some vibration control (T podiums) the setup sounds amazing. I couldn't be happier with the 8C's, and the impending firmware upgrade adding BACCH to the system is just a big fat cherry on top. I'm nearly at the end of my journey in terms of buying/upgrading.
At the moment the right speaker doesn't reach the new outlet so both speakers are plugged into a surge protector, which is plugged into the new outlet.
My question is this, is my surge protector ($26 Belkin with 12 plugs from Amazon) a bottleneck, or in any way limiting the benefits of the new circuit?

My audio guru recommended this and I had it professionally installed. https://ep2000.com/products/home-protection-products/premium-surge-protection-filter/?v=e75edac1b83f Something to consider. And no, I've not had it trigger......yet.

I, too, had an EP2000 installed around 15 years ago. I also added a plug-in fixed cord unit, EP2450, in audio rack for additional noise abatement from internal home sources. My area had been experiencing power interruption with new housing and healthcare construction along with seasonal electrical storms. Prior to install, an expensive motherboard for a hot tub had to be replaced, which I believe was due to surge. Fortunately, I have not had any further issues with any of my electronics since. I do shut down and unplug my electronics during local lightning activity or when I have been away for extended period. I would not expect any device to provide sufficient protection from intensity of direct or very close lightning strike. |
