 I wanted to confirm that a Surgex SX1115
Is enough horsepower for a profile with mix rack

Hi Marty,

Most folks choose a 1kVA to 1.5kVA UPS for a console plus some outboard gear and a record rig. Surgex has models in this range (although with a different part number than what was listed).

Tips when using a UPS:
1)  If your gear has redundant PSUs, plug one PSU into the UPS, and the other into house power. Never plug both PSUs into the same source.
2) UPS don't always like generator power, and can kick into battery mode even with a normal show load, causing them to drain down without you knowing. This can lead to a big surprise mid-show...

As Sheldon noted, the SX1115 is a simple rack mount surge suppression power strip.  The the SU-1000-Li (1000VA line interactive), SU-1500-DC (1500VA online or double conversion) and SU-2000-Li (2000VA line interactive) are the SurgeX UPS models.

Do remember to use the software package, and make sure that your laptop is connected to the unit, and visible whilst mixing, so that you can see the warning of low battery flashing on the screen.
