Surge Protected Power Strip for Mobile DJ?
Hi,
I’ve just got myself a DJ controller to use with a laptop for mobile use. I’m looking for a power extension lead to plug in all my devices, such as laptop, controller, usb hub, and powered pa speakers once I have them. I’ve tried to search for any recommended ones and not really getting anywhere? I’ve read that some of them can eliminate hum which can be generated when using multiple power sources. Ideally I want to be able to fit the power lead at the back of my flight case so a power strip would be preferable?
Many thanks!

^^^^ Exactly... I have UPS’s in my sever racks, but no way I’d want to put that much weight in my DJ racks. I have to move those racks by myself, and I’m NOT a young man anymore.😄
It’s posts like these I’d like to give a 👍 Thumbs Up.😃
