Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

Single-space 15-amp voltage regulator and conditioner. For a moderate rack on unreliable AC where a 20A circuit is not available.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Club and rental rigs on sagging house power
  • Racks that must fit regulation into one space
  • Setups drawing under 15 amps at 120V

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Full racks pulling near or above 15 amps
  • Anyone on solid power who needs only surge protection
  • Users wanting front rack lights included

What matters in use

The specifications, translated

Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.

Detail 01

Regulation from 97 to 137 VAC

Pulls a wandering line back toward nominal, so amps and power supplies stay consistent as venue load changes.

Detail 02

15 amps at 124 volts

Lower ceiling than the 20A models. Add up your rack draw before committing to it.

Detail 03

NEMA 15 plug

Plugs into a standard household 20A or 15A outlet, unlike the 20A Furman units that need a T-slot receptacle.

Detail 04

1.75 inch H, 19 inch W, 12 inch D

One rack space, but 12 inches deep — deeper than a typical conditioner, so check rear clearance.

Detail 05

BNC lamp socket, 12VAC 500mA

Takes a gooseneck rack lamp for reading the rack in the dark. The lamp itself is separate.

Detail 06

5W power consumption

The unit itself draws almost nothing, so essentially all your circuit capacity goes to the gear.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Rack lamp is not included; the BNC socket ships empty
  2. 0215A ceiling — power amps can exceed it on transients
  3. 03Captive 10 ft cord, so no swapping in a longer lead

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01What is the difference between this and the P-2400 AR?

Same 97 to 137 VAC regulation range, but this is 15 amps in one rack space at 15 lb. The P-2400 AR is 20 amps, two spaces, 39 lb, with 14 outlets.

02Does it need a special outlet?

No. The NEMA 15 plug fits a standard wall receptacle, unlike Furman's 20A units.

03Does it come with a rack light?

No. There is a BNC socket with a switch rated 12VAC at 500mA, but you supply the lamp.

04Will it protect against surges too?

Yes. It clamps at 188 VAC peak in one nanosecond, handles 6,500 amps surge current, and shuts down at roughly 140 VAC line to neutral.
