Adam Hall PCL 10 Pro Power Conditioner

Good quality way to distribute your power

It feels well made, with displays on the front for current draw and the voltage being supplied to the unit In real time. The lights are useful ad it has plenty of slots for IEC's at the rear of the unit.

Good unit for the price.

Introduced more noise, not less

I have had very little luck with this, overall I would say it seems more suitable for maybe a PA system, than for home studio use.

When I had my computer equipment powered through this, instead of reducing emissions, it acted as a rebroadcaster, meaning I had the interference from the computer hitting me from both sides, instead of reducing it.

This seems to be a common issue with power conditioners, not specific to this particular model. The conditioner tries to remove noise from the mains, but if you plug in gear that itself produces noise, it will instead create a common grounds issue, instead of removing anything.

Aside from that, however, the unit itself produces noise hitting everything around it, simply by being powered on with nothing plugged in it produces noise.

Even with balanced cables, it adds a high pitched whine and hiss to the signal, meaning you have to keep all audio gear away from it.

The only way I can see this being useful, is if you keep it completely separate, plugged into a separate power circuit, and physically far away from instruments or audio cables, which defeats the purpose for my intended use.

Too noisy to be good

A while back I built my first rack and off course I was pretty sure I needed a power conditioner (many youtube clips will tell you why). The Adam Hall seemed about right in the quality for money range. At first I did have a few issues with what seemd like a faulty connection (you would here the electricity sparkle) but I could solve that. Today - upon - building an on desk rack, I suddenly realised this conditioner makes a whole lot of noise (even when just plugged in and doing nothing), so I decided to use a basic unconditioned socket (also from Adam Hall). At least it got rid of the noise and to be honest, everything worls like a charm, so I'm still guessing why I thought I needed a conditioner in the fierst place. Looks good, seems of decent build quality. Only buy if you enjoy a 60 cycle hum.

Broke within a few months

on arrival it felt cheap, then one outlet died in a few weeks, and now its dead completely.

So far so good. I was hesitant to take Furman, but decided to try the Adam Hall. I really like the lights, and it comes with 4 cables and an USD LED lamp!

The best for the price.

LED light died within a couple of months of use. But the front lights are fine, even though their light direction is not what you call useful.

I use this in an in ear rack for Power stability and monitoring.

Works great for that purpose, the Voltage and Amp meter on the front is extremely useful.

Does exactly what it says on the tin

I had a ground loop and high frequency noise issues associated with the power supply in my home studio. Between this and a ground loop isolator it's fixed the problem. The rack mount is well thought out and would be good on the road. Only one minor problem. The IEC sockets dont have the greatest grip in the world, something to better secure cables in place might be helpful. A symptom of the standard socket design, not the device...
