The Equitech 1.5RQ Balanced Power System delivers the same trusted noise-reducing performance of Equitech’s balanced power technology with the added benefit of ultra-quiet operation - making it an ideal solution for studios where both electrical and mechanical noise must be kept to an absolute minimum.
Designed for professional audio environments, the 1.5RQ provides clean, stable power while operating with reduced transformer hum, ensuring a distraction-free recording and monitoring experience. At the core of the 1.5RQ is Equitech’s symmetrical balanced power design, which splits incoming AC voltage into equal and opposite phases to cancel common-mode noise and minimize ground loop issues. This results in a lower noise floor, improved clarity, and enhanced dynamic range across your entire system. The “Q” designation indicates a quieter transformer assembly, engineered to reduce mechanical noise - perfect for control rooms, tracking spaces, or any environment where silence is critical. With a 1.5 kVA power capacity, the 1.5RQ supports a wide range of studio equipment without compromising performance. In real-world use, the 1.5RQ is a powerful upgrade for studios seeking both pristine power and quiet operation. Its rackmount design allows for seamless integration, while its balanced output ensures consistent, interference-free performance across all connected gear. Whether you're recording delicate acoustic performances or mixing in a critical listening environment, the 1.5RQ provides the clean, stable foundation your system demands.
HOW IT WORKS
The 1.5RQ improves power in a much different way than other “conditioners” that merely use filters to reduce noises…and chokes/prevents transients. Those conditioners are more of an EQ filter for noise than anything else and affects your sound quality. The EquiTech 1.5RQ focuses on preventing those noises in the first place, meaning there is nothing to filter or clean up. Our balanced power systems focus on prevention, rather than the cure.
PREMIUM COMPONENTS
Our 1.5RQ is made with high quality switches, a digital readout and patented LoNo technology contained within the transformer. This transformer technology produces an extraordinary silent environmental output.
