Furman Merit Series - the power of protection
If it plugs in to power, make sure it's protected. Of course, it seems like a no-brainer, but it's amazing how many bits of gear get powered straight from the GPO.
For your studio lavalamp or a variety of kitchen appliances, there is really no problem with that - but for the many bits of gear that are right in the thick of the sound chain, there is more than one area of concern. The first has to do directly with your gear fund.
Spike and surge protection is the smart way to ensure no nasties get past your power conditioner, and adversely affect your prized equipment. Bolt one of these into each rack for your live shows, and make sure all your studio gear is plugged into the appropriate number of conditioners also. That's the easy way to avoid the horrible sinking feeling when you get a spike and something doesn't make it through the ordeal.
Since we're in the sound game, the second reason to make sure you condition your power has got to do with the quality of your sound chain. Noise filtering of the incoming power reduces radio frequencies and electromagnetic interference.
These 'Merit Series' conditioners by Furman are a simple way to make sure your gear performs as it should. 10Amp rating, with circuit breaker, 10 rear panel IEC outlets (plus one on the front panel), and also the option of pull-out rack lights. The incoming power lead will stay put, unless you have a crack at the locking mechanism with a screwdriver.

Battle Royale - Reflexion Filter Slashed
It's not often that we get a chance to satisfy three cravings at once...but today was one of those days. First of all, we opened the shop this morning to find the elves had created a stack of sE Reflexion* filters up to the ceiling. To cut a long (and boring) story into a manageable chunk...the distribution of sE has recently changed in Australia, and we won't be dealing with the new distributor. Nevertheless, Reflexion Filter was a great product when it was first released, and it' still a very simple and effective way to deal with the sound of your recording environment. So, we've purchased ALL of the remaining stock from the old importer, and we're going to slash the price until they're gone. $249 is all you'll pay. Bear in mind the RRP is $565, so this really is a great deal. Very strictly no rainchecks.
Now, other than the craving to move all our Reflexion Filters to better homes asap, Ollie was keen for someone to get a photo of his shiny red Vespa before he sold it. Seems the time has come for him to travel with four wheels again. Know anyone who wants a candy apple red chick-pulling machine?
The third craving? Dean wanted to cut up a beer carton and wear it as a helmet. I don't believe we'll ever know how his mind works.
*this link will cease to show the Reflexion Filter once we've depleted our stock
