Introduction
Owner’s Reference PowerPlay 8500
PowerPlay is a revolutionary power conditioner, which not only offers world class protection and
noise reduction, but also offers unparallel flexibility and control from anywhere in the world.
Advanced Control
Ethernet and RS-232 ports provide two way communication to the PowerPlay. These ports enable
unparalleled control, monitoring, and management of connected devices.
Simple Control
12 volt trigger and Phone communications port provide additional methods controlling the
PowerPlay and connected devices.
Intelligent UPS Control
The UPS communication port enables PS Audio’s Intelligent UPS Management control and
configuration.
Power Monitoring
The PowerPlay monitors and reports detailed power conditions whenever the unit is connected to
PS Audio Global Net.
Noise Reduction
The Power Play contains powerful noise filtration, yet continues to deliver unimpeded current to your
components for optimal performance.
Surge Protection
Sophisticated surge and spike protection is contained in the Power Play. The protection circuitry is
designed to protect your gear from voltage irregularities. Should the protection circuitry become
compromised the PowerPlay will no longer supply power to any of the connected components.
IsoZones
The 8500 features 5 IsoZones. Each IsoZone employs differential mode filtering to isolate
connected equipment from noise which is generated by other components. It is recommended that
components be isolated by device type (digital, analog, video, etc.) and/or by power supply type
(switch mode or linear) wherever possible.
Rack Mountable
The 8500 is rack mountable.
Removable Support Feet
The feet of the Power Play may be removed in order to save rack space.
