[QUOTE="LAV, post: 76511, member: 1123"] Would you want the UPS to protect the equipment against power anomalies or for standby / backup? (I suspect is is the former?) If 350 W is the rating of the amp's power supply, you might want to have a UPS with quite a bit of reserve capacity, as the amp will draw large peaks that coincide with the transients in the music. You're probably looking at a UPS with a rating of at least 1000 VA or even more. There's also the issue of line interactive vs. online UPS units, but I won't go into that now until I have a better idea of your requirement. If it is only for basic protection, a UPS might not be ideal - there are other mains protection and conditioning devices you could consider, even a decent spike / surge protection unit. If a UPS is what you want, stick with one of the well-known and reputable brands like APC (see http://www.apc.com) [/QUOTE]
