Detail 01
20 amp current rating
Handles a heavier load than 15-amp conditioners, but the wall circuit and breaker have to supply it too.

1/8
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 20-amp, single-rack-space conditioner with heavy surge clamping, over-voltage shutdown and a voltmeter. For racks where a power failure costs real money.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Touring racks plugged into unknown, unreliable venue power
- Studios with power amps and outboard approaching a 20-amp draw
- Engineers who want to read line voltage before plugging in
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Small home rigs where a basic surge strip already covers the load
- Shallow racks — it needs 10.5 inches of depth
- 230V regions, unless you get the E version built for it
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 02
6,500 amp maximum surge current
Large clamping capacity, so it absorbs far bigger spikes than entry-level units before it degrades.
Detail 03
Over-voltage shutdown near 140 VAC
If the line climbs dangerously high, it disconnects your gear instead of passing the fault downstream.
Detail 04
90 to 140 VAC operating range
Keeps working through sagging or hot venue power, only dropping out past its shutdown threshold.
Detail 05
Zero ground leakage protection
Diverts surges without dumping current into the ground wire, which keeps that path quiet for audio.
Detail 06
Voltmeter accurate to ±1.5 VAC
Tight enough to trust a venue reading and spot a bad or overloaded circuit before amps go on it.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Needs a 20-amp circuit to actually deliver 20 amps — check the breaker
- 021U tall but 10.5 inches deep and 11 pounds; measure first
- 03It protects and filters, but does not boost or regulate low voltage
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01How is this different from a power strip?
Surge capacity and behavior. It clamps 6,500-amp spikes in a nanosecond, filters line noise across a wide band, shuts down on over-voltage, and meters the line.
02Does it need a 20-amp outlet?
For the full rating, yes. On a 15-amp circuit the breaker limits you first, though the conditioner still filters and protects normally.
03Will it fix hum in my rig?
Sometimes. It filters incoming noise and avoids ground leakage, which helps. Hum from a ground loop between devices needs an isolator instead.
04Does it work on 230V power?
Only the E version, which runs 180 to 280 VAC at a 16-amp rating. The standard unit operates from 90 to 140 VAC.
