Description
PS Audio Directstream PowerPlant 15
The new PS Audio P15 improves micro and macro dynamics, audio purity, instrumental separation, soundstage width and depth, and lowers background noise for any connected equipment. From medium to large power amplifiers to the smallest pieces of source equipment, the P15 will work magic on your system’s performance. Don’t starve your music or risk damaging your equipment. A P15 gives you greatly improved performance and safety from just plugging into the wall socket and far better dynamics, bass and a much bigger, open soundstage than any power conditioner on the market.
The P15 features an ultra-low impedance analog power amplifier, FPGA based sine wave generator based on pure, clean, analog DSD (PCM), 10 outlets (US version) across 5 separate regenerated zones, and 1/4″ thick copper busbars that deliver regenerated power to each receptacle. Through regeneration, the P15 creates a completely new AC waveform that adds missing energy back onto the power line to correct for serious issues.
The P15 regenerates steady, regulated, pure AC that is unaffected by your equipment’s demands for power. Powering your system from the outlets of the P15 will reveal new voices, new harmonics, and a renewed sense of musicality. As the gold standard for safety, reliability, and high-performace AC power regeneration, the P15 will ensure you receive the same great performance every time you listen and provide a firm foundation for your system.
