Two QSC K12 powered speakers, one ALLEN&HEATH ZED 10fx mixer, an Ampeg GVT15H, AMPEG V4BH, DigiTech Vocalist Live4, HP Windows7 CORE i7 lap top, and a Yamaha MD4s. @ a rate of 9 cents per KW: 7hrs and 20 min.=1.63 KWH =.14 cents. :)So, I say let her run and enjoy the Best Buy available any where. Also for what is 's worth: a 12 gallon per day humidifier 58 hrs. and 45 min. cost .27 cents, An Eden Pure GEN4 heater, outside temp.@ 20 degrees fare., 98.18 hrs. cost $7.39. I hope someone can put these figures to good use.-----Leon





You would be surprised how much power devices are using even in "stand-by" mode. This is a handy way to save some energy money, and doubles as a line check at gig venues:

After working in two day gigs, one the Phone man and second a Cable TV engineer, I am of the assumption that there is no foolproof surge protection from a lightning hit.

That's why I unplug. I think that's probably the best surge protection I can afford.

There is no way to do it in this fashion.

Each installation must be evaluated on site by a knowledgeable and likely licensed Technician, Engineer or Electrician in order to be able to make any sort of viable recommendation.
