Tripp Lite 2400W 3U Rack Mount Power Conditioner, AVR, AC Surge Protection, 14 Outlets (LCR2400)

Tripp-Lite LCR2400, 2400 Watt 3U rack-Mount Power Conditioner works as advertised. It provides protection and very stable voltage to my expensive stereo equipment. But Tripp-Lite seems to be missing the boat, by not building this unit in a more attractive case for the Audio File and Home Theater community which could be a gold mine for Tripp-Lite. Example; Remove the duplex outlet on the front panel, remove the circuit breaker from the front and put it on the back side. Redo the readout lights on the front panel replacing some with a LED digital voltage meter plus install a 12 volt output trigger to power on attached equipment on the LCR2400. The Trip-Lite logo should be reduced in size and placed off to the side. The price would naturally need to be increased by at least $100 but well worth the extra money.

My band bought one unit (and a 4u rack case to put it in) to try out. Our first job using it was at a large hotel in one of their many ballrooms. The 12' power cord wasn't long enough and so I had to add an extension cord to reach the wall outlet. Other than that, the unit ran fine all night and showed us that the hotel was providing good power. We now plan to buy a second unit to cover the rest of the band. The unit feels solid and should last many years.
