System Features

The Samson PowerStrip PS9, PowerBrite PB9, and PowerBrite Pro7 all utilize state-of-the-art technology in power distribution and are engineered to the finest detail. Here are some of their main features:

•Multiple switched rear-panel AC outlets (eight in the PowerStrip PS9 and PowerBrite PB9; six in the PowerBrite Pro7) that allow you to power an entire rack’s worth of gear from one source. In addition, an unswitched front-panel convenience outlet is provided for temporary power needs (such as plugging in a guitar amplifier, soldering iron, etc.).

•Rear-panel switched outlets are mounted both vertically and horizontally to accommodate standard 3-pin plugs as well as external transformer AC power adapters.

•3-point surge protection, peak clamping protection and RF filtering enables all connected equipment to operate with maximum efficiency and minimal noise.

•Front-panel resettable 15 amp circuit breaker protects all connected gear.

•An independent dedicated switch with status light for powering the rear-panel switched outlets.

•In the PowerBrite PB9 and PowerBrite Pro7, a lockable slide-out drawer contains a standard 4 watt fluorescent bulb (similar to that used in many desktop lamps and readily available at most hardware stores and electrical suppliers) that fully illuminates all gear underneath with cool, clear light. In addition, there is a dedicated switch (with status light) for turning on the bulb. The front-panel light features a backlit customizable inlay with a Samson logo—and our unique “Neo-Rack” service (see the back cover of this manual) allows you to substitute your own custom facility or band logo design.

•In the PowerBrite Pro7, a rear-panel 12-volt XLR connector (for Littlite®-compatible lamps), and a front-panel voltmeter and ammeter that allow you to monitor changes in the current drawn from both switched and unswitched outlets.

•All units are designed to be mounted in the top slot of any standard 19" rack, taking only a single rack space.

•Rugged construction that makes the Samson PowerStrip PS9, PowerBrite PB9, and PowerBrite Pro7 eminently roadworthy.
