Linn Tech (not sure of spelling, try Kens Links) has been making the most heavy duty sequential AC systems for years, as well. Expensive but VERY good. |

You refer to a "sequential AC power system with remote on-off switching". |

Unfortunately, this is one of those church gigs without sufficient funding, so i'm looking to not have to spend a huge amount on it. We're going to have to hire an electrician to do some drops for the amps anyway though.... |

If you move your amps to the stage (where they belong IMHO) and you have a couple of spare snake lines to use for control signals or you can run a control signal cable, you can do this with Furman stuff without an electrician. Everything AC plugs into standard 20A outlets (or can be replugged for 15A), and is roughly equivalent to outlet strips or power conditioners. |

If you would like to go this road AND you can spend $500-$1000 I would be willing to make a more specific recommendation ... |

I'm just collecting information so that I can make useful suggestions should the funding arise..... |

If there trying to do the job ACAP (as cheap as possible) and still do a decent job, theyd probably have a better go at it with the furman stuff. That way the electricians can drop there lines (1 20a per amp IMNSHO) and they can just find the place with the cheapest furman plugin relay(s) and control them with the PWRLINK. |

If they had the money, the "real" installed ac distro by the likes of lyntek/lowell are most likely a nicer option, but the electricians time and cost of installing the whole shot is much more. Besides, the furman stuff has many uses down the road as well. |

I think at this stage it might be best to just get the 4 (or 5) 20 A drops installed at the mix position (or perhaps a distro panel with 4 20A circuits in it). |
