Owner’s Reference
UPC-HB Power Center
Once your new UPC-HB is unpacked, you’ll need to fi nd a convenient place to set it.
There are several ways to mount the UPC-HB: on a rack shelf, on the fl oor behind the equipment, or
simply on a shelf next to the powered equipment.
If the UPC-HB is to be placed on the fl oor or carpet, make sure the unit is not going to come in contact
with water or cleaning solvents.
The UPC-HB can benefi t from aftermarket isolation devices such as cones, spikes and Sorbothane
pads.
Once you have chosen the location for the UPC-HB 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 to feed the UPC-HB power. 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.
If you are using additional power conditioning equipment, such as a PS Audio Power Plant, it is
recommended that the UPC-HB be placed after the Power Plant and used to isolate equipment
connected and powered by the Power Plant.
