The features of the new touring racks include automatic phase and rotating field detection and switching, Up and Down master runs with only one switch, illuminated display of all operating conditions (such as faults and run directions), and the possibility of connecting external enabling ('dead-man') switches.

Up to 256 drives can be linked in one network, which represents a considerably more affordable solution than the corresponding number of individual controllers, says the company. The M-Link system is also compatible with the Movecat MPC 4ED8 and 4ID8 controllers and can therefore be integrated with existing controllers from the 'smaller' series.

The P-1800 AR provides consistent 120-V output (±5 V) from input voltages ranging from 97 VAC to 137 VAC. Unlike commercial voltage regulators, the P-1800 AR's new True RMS voltage regulation technology, featuring an ultra-low-noise, microprocessor-controlled eight-tap toroidal autoformer, is engineered for use in any A/V environment.

The benefit of True RMS is the assurance of quiet operation for critical listening and recording applications, with minimal leakage of stray magnetic fields. Additionally, when the autoformer switches voltage taps at the zero cross points of both voltage and current, it doe

The P-1400 AR E accepts input voltages between 188V-270V and converts to a steady, stable output, user selectable to 230V or 240V (±10V). Voltages approximately ±10% beyond that range may be converted to usable levels, depending on the requirements of the equipment. This stable voltage protects equipment and allows optimal performance. The P-1400 AR E's True RMS Voltage Regulation technology is driven by an ultra-low-noise, microprocessor-controlled, eight-tap toroidal autoformer that is engineered for use in any A/V environment.
