Power Line Conditioning

[MaximumDB]

I don't really have any problems with RF or noise spikes in my project studio so are there any other benefits from a Power Line conditioner such as a Furman?

I already use power strips with spike protectors.

Power strips do NOT give surge protection, whatever they say. You spend a lot of money on your system, and a good power conditioner will keep all of the power consistent, and this is a good thing. They are one of the best investments most people could make (unless they already have one).

Power conditioning will lower your noise floor. You wind up with line noise from your reefer/furnace/gear/whatever.

And conditioned power will eliminate most if not all common spikes and other line noise.

Furman claims their high-end stuff can reduce noise floor up to 13dB. That seems like an awful lot. But even if you only got HALF that it would be a big step in the right direction.

I agree with C7sus. I bought a cheap rack rider with no frills. It definitely lowered the nopise floor in my studio. How many DB? I don't know, but it was quite appearent.
