PRESS RELEASE
ART Introduces 4x4 Pro Series Of Power Distribution Systems
January 16, 2006
Presenting the 4x4 Pro Series Power Distribution Systems from ART. Built on the foundation of the popular 4x4s, the Pro Series are durably constructed, reliable power conditioners for use in many applications. Wherever a power management system is required, the 4x4 Pro Series will provide the surge protection you need to keep your rack safe from unwanted disruption. All 4x4 Pro Series models have an additional internal discrete module called APF™ (Advanced Power Filtering) which filters out digital and dimmer hash as well as any high frequency noise that is above the audio range. Some off-the-shelf add-on modules saturate and lose their filtering effectiveness as the load increases, but by using a high power discrete design we were able to create a filter that stays effective over the full operating range. By using both Common Mode and Differential Mode topologies in series for the filter design we are able to block virtually all of the unwanted noise that is between the AC line and ground, and also the two sides of the AC line. This has the additional benefit of reducing ground loop problems in your system. High frequency noise currents in particular are highly attenuated in both directions so that any line noise that could be generated by one of your components is not allowed to get back into your main A.C. wiring so if you use a number of Pro Series Power Conditioners in your setup, you can distribute and isolate the noisy components from the sensitive components in your system. Additionally, any signals above 10kHz are filtered from the line with over 40dB of attenuation above 100kHz and beyond. Every 4x4 power conditioner is designed with a power capacity of 1800 Watts, surge/spike protection, APF with EMI & RFI filtering, front-mounted unswitched power outlet and an adjustable rear-mounted gooseneck light source for bright illumination behind the rack. The spacing and alignment of the rear outlets will accommodate various size power plugs and AC adapters. The SP4x4 PRO and PS4x4 PRO are equipped with pull-out light pipe lamps with an "auto-off" microswitch built-in for an automatic shut down. The SP4x4 PRO provides an LED input voltage monitoring display while the PS4x4 PRO provides an additional LED load current monitor display. The 4x4 Pro Series (PB4x4 PRO, SP4x4 PRO, PS4x4 PRO) will be available at music specialty stores Worldwide in February 2006. Recent ART headlines
