Tripp LiteISOBAR8ULTRA Isobar 8 Outlet Heavy Duty Power Strip Surge Protector, 3840 Joules, 12ft Cord, Flat Plug, Metal Power Strip, Industrial Garage Work Shop Bench, Under Desk and Wall Mountable

This is the best surge protector there is. Get this one! You can research it if you like, but this is where the internet will point you. And you'll likely think it pricey, but if you have any sensitive musical or computer equipment, this protection is the best out there and it's actually cheaper than some other professional grade surge protectors. The ISOBAR is built of solid metal, I mean solid, so the box itself will last forever. This is a professional grade surge strip.Now there are some plastic trip-lite protectors meant for your TV stuff. They're cheaper and work fine, at least I've never had any problem. But I definitely want the ISOBAR for all my musical plugging in. I bought my first ISOBAR over 20 years ago, and it still works like a charm. I've bought 5 more since. I have a project recording studio that I use these in for pretty much everything I plug in there, and other than making the move to installing an overall surge protector at the studio's breaker box, in which if I did, I'd pop some big bucks for, these are all I will ever use.Now, as great as these are at protecting your equipment against the all too frequent and city common city power voltage surges, particularly in areas with hydroelectric power, all surge protectors have their limitations. While they protect against surges, most surge protectors don't deal with sudden drops of voltage. And I've been told by my amp guy, it's the drops that you should worry the most about. The ISOBAR is designed to recognize a sudden voltage drop and let the power latch down a bit slower to protect the equipment. Now there are some power conditioners out there, quite a bit more expensive to be sure, that are actually designed to deal specifically with sudden drops in voltage. Of course the main culprit here is city power going out altogether while you have your equipment running. And the best protection for that is a battery backup that will keep all your equipment running at a steady voltage level even without power. This is your best protection by all means. But the grade of battery backup you will need in a music project studio is going to cost you a big old wad of cash. And, you are going to have to run some power strips out of it anyway, so they might as well be ISOBARS.And one last disclaimer. Despite everything you do. There's one equipment killing culprit you just can't do anything about. And this one has gotten a few of my machines. Static electricity! In particular, the static caused by nearby lightning strikes. It travels through the air, so there's just no way to block it. But you can try to keep the studio as centrally located in your dwelling as possible and that will really help.One way or the other, you want some surge protection at the power source, and this is the surge protection strip you want.

I've been using these for years and they never disappoint. Built well and I've yet to have one fail on me. Don't cheap out on your power strips. Clean power delivery is important.

I bought this to solve an intermittent popping sound coming through the speakers in my stereo sys. I had isolated and substituted every component, but the popping continued, scary loud at times. Did a little searching, suggesting were that the noise was coming from the ac power lines, inside or outside house I can not say. So I did more research and decided I didn't want to spend a fortune on isolated power supplies or conditioners. The Tripp Lite Ultra Isobar 6 was recommended from various sources got it next day haven't heard a pop since. Absolutely solved the problem no bs no snake oil. I you can only pull so much power through this. I have 2 150w ab monos and 1 25w class a amp but when I add a linear power supply the monos won't power up. It works and it works well. Recomended.

Very solid with a long cable and right-angle plug. I bought two at the suggestion of my electrician, one for my office and another for my home theater. The diagnostic light works and correctly told me that my outlets are not grounded.

Tripp Lite manufactures the best power surge power strip protection devices. Built with high quality components.I have been using their products for over 30 years with no issues.

Works like expected. Tripp Lite products never disappoint. Very pleased.

I bought this Tripp Lite surge protector for lower end gear like my Ambient Weather station display, my laptop charging cord, my cell phone and Apple Watch chargers.The issue with Tripp Lite is that they use MOV technology. That means Metal Oxide Varistors that are sacrificial components in the Tripp lite protectors.One good power spike and this Tripp Lite is toast. Higher end audiophile surge protectors like Brick Wall don’t use MOV’s and have a far longer life cycle. I have all my audio gear on Brick Wall surge protectors. The difference is price.This Tripp Lite is about $70 and a Brick Wall audio 8 outlet version is about $350. You can spend a LOT more on audio surge protectors and power conditioners, well into 4 figures for brands like AudioQuest.The Tripp Lite is inexpensive, very well made, has 8 outlets, the receptacles have a solid grip on outlet plugs, it includes and on/off switch and it has a generous, 12 foot heavy duty grounded cord.For the price, the Tripp Lite gear is ok for lower end applications. For my high end audio electronics, I use better quality surge protectors and power conditioners.But for the money and the build quality, it’s hard to beat Tripp Lite. Hope that helps!

Provides excellent surge protection and is ruggedly built. Has 8 wide spaced outlets for your needs.I use it for my Amateur Radio Station powering 12.8v power supplies for various radios, laptop, etc.
