Warning
To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not
expose the unit to rain or moisture. To avoid
electrical shock, do not open the enclosure.
Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.
To prevent electric shock, use a 3 prong,
grounded type power cable.
Any change or modifications not expressly
approved in the manual could void your
warranty.
Safety Instructions
Any turntable or equipment with AC
synchronous motors, such as some cooling
fans should not be used with MultiWave II+.
This equipment must be used with 60Hz
SineWave mode.
We recommend the use of the SineWave
[sin] or TubeWave [tub] with any type of
tube based audio products.
Read the operating instructions provided
with the P300.
Retain the operating instructions for later
use and reference
Unplug the P300 from the wall outlet before
changing the fuse or performing any clean-
ing or service.
Do not operate the P300 near water. Avoid
placement near a water reservoir or exces-
sive moisture.
When replacement parts are required, be
sure they are specified by the manufacturer
to have the same characteristics as the
original part. Unauthorized substitutions
may result in fire, electric shock, or other
hazards.
Do not operate with faulty or frayed power
cables.
Do not operate the P300 with the LED load
indicator when illuminated RED or YELLOW
for extended amounts of time.
Overview
The Power Plant P300 is a power
regenerator capable of delivering the highest
level of AC performance to all audio and
video components.
The PS Audio Power Plant P300 is
designed to operate as a stand-alone power
management device, or as part of a larger
power management system. The P300 is
capable of producing, clean and safe power
for a small 2 channel audio system or small
home theater system.
The P300 is capable of delivering up to
300 watts of peak power, depending on
the load.
• Up to 300 watts peak power delivery
• Next generation MultiWave II+ technology
featuring TubeWave.
• Regenerated AC delivered through 4
Power Port outlets.
• Front panel displays waveform setting,
output voltage and wattage.
• Reduction of AC line noise by more than
70dB.
• High voltage surge suppression devices
for surge and spike protection.
• Lowers AC impedance.
My turntable or fan based equipment is
not operating normally
Any turntable or equipment with AC
synchronous fans should not be used with
MultiWave II+. These products must be
used with 60Hz SINE mode.
The P300 shut down, the display is blank
and the fuses are not blown
If airfl ow is inadequate or room temperature
is very warm and the P300 is run near 100%
capacity for very long periods of time this
type of shut-down may occur. If this occurs
the load should be lessened on the P300 or
else improve the airfl ow around the P300.
My P300 is making a strange noise
The cooling fan in the P300 may produce
a slight whirring noise is normal when the
P300 is at operating temperature. The
If the fan is making a ticking noise, then
the fan connection wire may have shifted
in transit and is contacting the blades of the
fan. Remove the bottom plate of the P300
(10 philips type screws) and check to be
sure the wire is not contacting the fan.
My fan is not operating, or the fan is
always operating
The fan of the P300 will turn on when the
unit is at operating temperatures. It takes
about 30 minutes for the P300 to reach full
operating temprature.
If the P300 is placed in a warm environ-
ment or if gear is constantly connected, the
P300 may not drop below normal operating
temerature. In this case the fan will operate
continusly.
How do I reset the settings to factory
default?
To revert to the default factory settings.
Simply switch the P300 off at the back
panel. The default settings are: Sin mode,
60hz, 117v (export - 220v, Japan - 100v).
