Owner’s Reference
Quintet and Duet Power Center
®
Once your new Power Center is
unpacked, you’ll need to fi nd a
convenient place to set it.
There are several ways to mount
the Power Center: on the fl oor, on
a shelf, or in a rack. If you mount it
on the fl oor, it can either lay fl at on
its bottom, or be placed at an angle
between the fl oor and the wall.
Note the Power Center is shaped in
a truncated triangle on the bottom
to facilitate placing it in an angled
position.
If your equipment is located a long
distance from the Power Center, it
is preferable to use a long, heavy
gauge shielded power cable between the wall AC receptacle and the Power Center, rather than long
individual power cables between the equipment and the Power Center.
The Power Center can benefi t from aftermarket isolation devices such as cones, spikes and
Sorbothane pads.
Once you have chosen the location for the Power Center 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 Center 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 a PS Soloist in-wall conditioner to feed this device. We do not
recommend connecting any other power conditioning product before the Quintet or Duet.
