Radial Power-1: Clean Power for Your Rack

Noisy, unprotected power can cause hum, buzz, and radio interference, and a single surge can damage expensive gear. The Power-1 protects your equipment with a high-quality MOV surge suppressor and filters RF noise before it reaches your audio, so your rack runs quieter and safer.

Outlets Where You Need Them

Eight rear outlets power the gear in your rack, with four spaced to fit bulky wall-wart adapters without blocking neighboring outlets. Three front outlets and a USB charging port make it easy to plug in a laptop, phone, tablet, or extra device during a session or gig.

Setting Up the Power-1

Mount the Power-1 in any standard 19-inch rack, ideally at the top or bottom for easy access. Plug the power cord into a properly grounded outlet, connect rack gear to the rear outlets, and use the front outlets and USB port for devices you connect at the gig.

What to Pair With the Power-1

Pair the Power-1 with a rack case, rackmount mixers and processors, wireless microphone receivers, short IEC power cables, and cable ties for tidy rack wiring.

Why Power Conditioning Matters

RF interference from radio stations, lighting dimmers, and other equipment can enter audio systems through power lines. Filtering it at the power source reduces noise in your mix, while surge protection guards against spikes that can shorten the life of your gear.

Built Radial Tough

The Power-1’s heavy-duty steel chassis is built for years of rack-mounted use on tour and in permanent installations, just like Radial’s legendary direct boxes.

Rack Planning Tips

Group equipment by power draw, keep wall-wart adapters on the spaced rear outlets, and leave the front outlets free for gear that comes and goes. For large racks, use more than one power conditioner and plug each into a separate circuit where possible.

Power-1 vs. Power-2

Radial’s Power-2 adds a slide-out LED tray that illuminates your rack, which is handy in dark venues and on stage. The Power-1 focuses on clean, protected power with front and rear outlets and USB charging in a straightforward 1U design.

Safety Reminders

Plug the Power-1 into a properly grounded outlet, never defeat the ground pin, and avoid daisy-chaining power strips. If the unit absorbs a major surge, have it inspected, since surge suppressors can wear out after large events.

Radial Power-1 FAQ
