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.

    I use an APC and have had no problems. The only thing I don't like about the APC is the loud beeping during a power failure. Maybe all UPSs are like this? Does anyone know of any UPS that doesnt beep in power failure?

    I realize the purpose of the beeping during power failure but the only reason I use the UPS is in event the power was to drop for only a second or so. It would take the IPC a few minutes to boot back up even though the power was off for only a few seconds.
