ProX X-PC10ASTRO — 10-Way 1U Rear-Panel Power Distribution with A&V Meter, Surge Protection, USB & Powerkon
System Summary: The ProX X-PC10ASTRO is a 1U rack-mount, rear-panel 10-channel power center designed for professional A/V, studios, rental racks, and Chicago DJ rigs. It consolidates power to the back of your rack for clean cable management while providing metering, protection, and convenience features to keep shows running smoothly.
Feature Narrative: Ten rear outlets (10-way distribution) are supported by an integrated A&V meter (voltage & current LED display), surge protection, a 20A breaker switch/UL breaker, and a front LED lamp. A 5V USB port handles device charging or a USB lamp, and Powerkon in/out connectors support secure power linking. Rugged aluminum/steel construction delivers touring-grade durability.
Integration & Use-Case Wrap: Drop it at the top or bottom of a 19" rack to simplify power for mixers, DSP, wireless, playback, and lighting control. Rear-panel outlets reduce front-of-rack clutter; the meter helps avoid overloads; surge protection safeguards mission-critical gear. Ideal for live events, install racks, mobile DJ systems, and corporate AV.
- Real-World Applications: DJ racks, FOH control racks, lighting control racks, broadcast/recording equipment bays, corporate AV fly-packs.
Where This Power Center Excels
- Clean rear-panel power routing: Ten outlets on the back keep the front tidy for controls and patching.
- Live-safe monitoring: A&V meter with LED voltage/current lets you watch headroom and avoid trips.
- Built-in protection: Surge protection plus 20A breaker/UL breaker for peace of mind.
- Operator convenience: LED lamp and 5V USB for quick lighting/charging in dark booths.
- Secure linking: Powerkon in/out connectors for robust power chaining.
Control Modes for the ProX X-PC10ASTRO
Power & Protection: Engage the 20A breaker (UL breaker) and verify the surge-protection status before powering connected devices. Observe the integrated A&V (voltage/current) LED display during operation to monitor load.
Convenience I/O: Use the 5V USB port to charge devices or power a USB lamp. Utilize the front LED lamp to illuminate the rack in low-light conditions.
Linking: Use Powerkon in/out connectors for secure power linking within the rack chain. WARNING: Do not exceed 15A total amps. For indoor, dry use only.
Rear-Panel Layout & Cable Management
All outlets are on the rear panel to streamline front-of-rack ergonomics. This minimizes cable loops around control surfaces and keeps signal paths clear, especially in tight DJ booths or FOH positions.
Metering, Surge & Breaker Strategy
The integrated A&V meter gives real-time voltage and current information so you can balance loads across outlets. Surge protection helps shield sensitive electronics from spikes, and the 20A breaker/UL breaker adds a final safety backstop.
