UPS Backup supply

Lately, I've been seeing more and more guys running a UPS on the consoles. Any specific reason? Other then maybe surge protection. I mean if Power drops out then the rig dies aswell. Or is this more incase FOH power goes out and the show can continue?


I think I saw on the forum that the IPC had a built in Battery Backup?? Was i just dreaming or is this a true fact indeed.

Just trying to catch up as We have just ordered out first "Real" Console, The IPC and it will be here this week. Everything else we have run has always been laptop based.

    For exactly this reason. It also allows your dimmer tech to power down right after the show while you turn disks out @ FoH before packing up.

    There is no UPS backup on any of the Hog consoles. The only one that has a battery is the full Hog-3 console, and this only allows for a very brief run-time so the console can protect the showfile and auto power down in case of a power failure.

    Hope this helps. :)
