PerfectWave PowerBase
Once your new PowerBase is unpacked, you’ll need to find a convenient place to set it. We
recommend shelf mounting if at all possible. We do not recommend adding any further isolation
products to the PowerBase as it is designed to work independently.
If you are in the process of evaluating the PowerBase, please keep the protective plastic cover
on the mirror finish top during the entire evaluation process. Any damage to the top cover will
be charged to you if you decide to return the product for credit to PS Audio or your dealer.
The feet on the PowerBase are adjustable. Use this feature to set the height and level the
PowerBase if needed.
The PowerBase can effectively hold up to 100 pounds of equipment. The sweet spot for this
product will be between 15 to 85 pounds. The PowerBase is most effective with just one piece
of equipment on it but is certainly fine with two pieces if needed.
The Power Port AC receptacle on the rear of the PowerBase is a duplex socket sharing a single
IsoZone
TM
filtering system.
Once you have chosen the location for the PowerBase you can use the supplied AC power
cord to connect it to the supported equipment or you can use an aftermarket power cord. We
recommend you use a heavy gauge shielded power cable to connect the PowerBase to the AC
wall receptacle.
We strongly recommend the use of a PS Audio PerfectWave® Power AC cable or any good
aftermarket power cable for best results as it is always preferable to feed your equipment with
the best power cables possible. Choosing any PerfectWave Power cable will make a significant
performance improvement over the stock power cable.
The PowerBase can be fed from a Power Plant™ to improve its effectiveness or you can place
the Power Plant on the PowerBase for improved performance from the Power Plant as well as
keeping the noise generated by that Power Plant from going back onto the AC line. We do not,
however, recommend feeding the PowerBase with anything other than a Power Plant because
you may wind up restricting the dynamics and bass response of the system.
