| Lab Test Results from Cal Tech's Ligo Observatory
-- As Balanced Power moves beyond the realm of professional audio and
video applications, many different types of industries where power
quality is of extreme importance have reported to us their findings in
clinical testing of our balanced AC products. Here is one of
those reports from one of the top scientific research facilities in the
country. Here's a link to their site for those interested in
physics and deep space exploration. Cal Tech Ligo Observatory Equi=Tech Model 2Q and Model Q650 Product Review -- An product review of the 2Q and Q650 that appeared in the June, 2003 issue of Stereophile magazine. (The review begins about 1/2 way down the page.) . "Balanced Power from Equi=Tech" -- A Revolutionary Concept and Newly Adopted Standard in Power. Here's the latest article published on the subject of balanced power. This one is written for the layman who may not be familiar with much engineering. Published in the August, 2001 issue of Wide Screen Review magazine, this paper provides the reader with the simplest explanation of balanced power technology ever written. "Lifting the Grounding Enigma" -- A popular reprint article from the November, 1994 edition of Mix Magazine. This writing offers a simple explanation for grounding noise and interference in sensitive electronic circuits. The article describes from a historical perspective how electrical industry standards have led to a "noise crisis" and offers an elegant, common sense solution to the problem. (en Español) "Balanced Power (6 Years Later): The Next Generation" -- A technially in depth writing about balanced AC power in theory and application by Martin Glasband that appeared in the October, 1998 issue of Live Sound! International Magazine. Is balanced power just patch or is it better understood as a foundation for sensitive electronics systems? The article provides clear description of AC power issues as they relate to sensitive equipment performance in both digital and analog systems.. "The Origin of Balanced Power" -- Here's another fairly recent paper written by Martin Glasband on the subject of balanced AC. This article, published in the September 1997 issue of S&VC Magazine, is both anecdotal and informative, giving the reader some interesting background on the discovery of balanced AC, also going into some depth and detail on how "dirty power" affects both digital and analog signal processing. . "An Overview of AC Power and Noise" -- A condensed introductory piece about electrical interference and power. This article briefly covers power quality, non-linear loads, objectionable grounding currents and how noise manifests -- basic balanced power theory in general. . "Equi=Tech Symmetrical Power System" -- A product review of Equi=Tech Model ET1.5R by Roger Nichols that appeared in the July 1996 issue of EQ Magazine. . "Equi=Tech ET2R Symmetrical Power System" -- A field test of Equi=Tech Model ET2R by Mark Frink that appeared in the June 1997 Issue of MIX Magazine. . "Power Management in the Studio" -- Roger Nichols' background in Electrical Engineering is demonstrated here in this popular reprint article from the July 1996 issue of EQ Magazine. Roger discusses power quality issues, ac power distortion and how these factors affect electronics, particularly in recording studios. . "Audio Noise and AC Systems" -- The first of two articles published in Recording Engineering and Production Magazine (REP) in the early '90s written by Martin Glasband, the President of Equi=Tech Corporation. These articles were among the first on the subject of balanced AC power ever to appear in a professional audio publication. . "Audio Noise and AC Systems Revisited" -- Here's the second of the REP articles written by Martin Glasband which launched balanced AC into the world of professional audio and video. |
