Power Plant Premier
Once your new Power Plant Premier is unpacked, you’ll need to fi nd a convenient place to set it.
There are several ways to mount the Power Plant Premier: on a shelf, or in a rack. If you mount the
Premier on a shelf, make sure there is adequate clearance below the unit so airfl ow is not a problem.
Same for the top. If you are planning on driving a lot of equipment that may generate heat in the
Power Plant, consider not placing another piece of
equipment on top of the Premier. If you are placing
the Premier in a rack, you can use the supplied rack
ears or you can use a rack shelf. Make sure there
is adequate ventilation both top and bottom of the
Premier as the unit needs to have good airfl ow for
cooling.
If you are rack mounting the Premier is supplied
with a set of rack ears that can be mounted to the
Premier.
If your equipment is located a long distance from the
Power Plant Premier, it is preferable to use a long,
heavy gauge shielded power cable between the wall AC receptacle and the Power Plant Premier,
rather than long individual power cables between the equipment and the Power Plant Premier.
The Power Plant Premier can benefi t from aftermarket isolation devices such as cones, spikes and
Sorbothane pads.
Once you have chosen the location for the Power Plant Premier you can use the supplied AC
power cord to connect it to the AC wall receptacle or you can use an aftermarket power cord and
receptacle.
We strongly recommend the use of a PS Audio
xStream Power™ AC cable and a PS Power
Port™ AC receptacle, or Soloist AC receptacle
to feed the Power Plant Premier electricity.
While the supplied power cable is adequate
for the task, it is not going to provide the best
performance. Choosing any xStream Power
cable will make a signifi cant performance
improvement over the stock power cable.
We recommend the use of the Soloist in-wall
AC receptacle to feed power to the Premier.
We, however, discourage the use of any other
power conditioning equipment before or after the
Premier without considerable evaluation to determine if there are any sonic or visual shortcomings
of doing so. The Premier has a signifi cant input and output passive fi lter design and adding extra
power cables to its input or additional fi ltering to its output may, in fact, be less than desirable.
