Power to the people

One 540W/800VA UPS for the PC and one display, and two 405W/700VA UPS’ for the rest of the equipment should ensure that when surges and momentary dips in the supply occur (it does happen regularly here), the studio should be unaffected.

A complete power cut during operation would allow around 3.5 minutes to automatically shut the PC down at full load.

The APC UPS’ look quite sturdy, and all of them have easily replaceable batteries.

The cabling seen here is for power, audio, video and data.
