UPS or surge protector/power conditioner? And if UPS, recommendations please under 1K

Hello All,

 

Need some expert help/advice here. I currently have my rig plugged into the Furman Elite 20pfi power conditioner. Everything including my subs are plugged into the Furman. I have my 5 channel power amp going straight to the outlet. The outlet is a dedicated 20 amp circuit.

I have been looking into switching to a UPS instead. I have read great things about the CyberPower CP1500PFCLCD. 

I need a minimum of 12 outlets.

 

If a UPS is the way to go any recommendations for a 12 outlet minimum UPS under 1K?

Thanks so much in advance!

I’d be concerned that a UPS isn’t optimized for audio.  No evidence to back that up but would be a concern for me.  Another option, you could get this highly-regarded Audience AR2p and plug two of these Wiremold power strips into it and have 16 outlets at your disposal.

Just another option to ponder FWIW, and best of luck.
