A UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) is a battery-backed device that keeps connected equipment running for a period of time after mains power is lost, giving you time to save work and shut down safely. Furman's UPS units combine battery backup with the same surge protection and filtration found in its power conditioner line.

This is essential for recording sessions, live broadcasts, and any studio environment where a sudden outage could mean losing unsaved work or cutting a live feed.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a UPS keep equipment running during an outage?

Runtime depends on the connected load and the specific unit's battery capacity — lighter loads (a single audio interface and laptop) run longer than heavier loads (a full mixing console). Check the specific model's runtime rating at your expected load.

Do I need a UPS if I already have a power conditioner?

A power conditioner protects against surges and noise but does nothing during a power outage. A UPS is the only solution that keeps gear powered when the mains supply cuts out entirely.
