Product Description
SX2120 surge eliminators are 20-amp load-capable and have 14 industrial grade grounded AC receptacles (2 switched banks of 6; 2 always on) plus a front-panel courtesy receptacle. The unit features both common mode and normal mode Impedance Tolerant EMI/RFI filtering for a comprehensive power conditioning solution. SurgeX Advanced Series Mode technology is superior to conventional MOV circuitry or MOV-Hybrid designs and is completely non-sacrificial. Our zero let-through technology provides the most reliable protection available. It stops all surges up to 6,000 volts (unlimited surge current) without producing harmful side effects such as ground contamination or common-mode disturbances.SX2120 by SurgeX Review
Picked up this unit to protect an audio rack containing a Pro Tools front end, all the outboard EQ, dynamics, mic pres, converters, clocking etc.The system is dead silent to my ear and measured with a Tektronix DVS 100Mhz oscilloscope.
I can see no ripple or noise in the power and the rig remains stable in an environment with power measured at the outlet that varies from 108 VAC - 132 VAC as measured with a Fluke 8068 digital VTVM.
SurgeX seems to have done a nice job building this unit using high quality resistors, capacitors and diodes.
The solder work is tidy, with no apparent cold joints anywhere.
One item of note for any one considering this unit...
The power cable is hard wired and has a molded dedicated 20 Amp plug.
The lug for the common side of the outlet sits at 90 deg to the lug for the feed side (right side) of the outlet.
You will need an outlet with a 20 Amp receptacle wired in, and this means the outlet must have a 20 amp feed (breaker wired with 12 wire) or you will not be able to plug in and energize the SurgeX SX-2120.
I was not notified of this when I bought the unit, so upon opening the box I learned a trip to the hardware store was in order.
Good thing I have built recording studios for many years and worked for a licenced electrician as well.
The SurgeX SX-2120 gets a thumbs up from me!
