Our second largest and most advanced AC power regenerator, the PerfectWave Power Plant 5 is the ultimate device for perfecting the power to your AV equipment. At the PerfectWave Power Plant 5’s core, an internal high current analog amplifier produces ultra low distortion, ultra low output impedance, and highly regulated new AC power for connected equipment. Sine wave enhancement technologies from the P5 including MultiWave and CleanWave provide unparalleled control of the Power Plants for hands-on control settings for optimum performance, system specific.

The PerfectWave Power Plant 5 delivers up to 1000 watts of continuous power and 50 amps of instantaneous current delivery

Why do you need a Power Plant?
Everything we hear in an audio system is, in one form or another,  modulated AC power. Everything we see in a video system is also built on AC power. We can put one band-aid after another on what the utility company sells us, but ultimately our love of listening to recorded music in the best form possible is limited by the quality of that one source.

It’s the foundation on which an audio/video system is built.

And what we’ve learned as an industry over the 50+ years that high-end audio has been evolving is: that power we buy is none-too-reliable, and unfortunately far more often than not, very poor quality. The PS Audio Power Plant is an affordable reboot of that limitation -  using the supplied power only to run, it provides a stable and near-perfect AC sine wave, freeing up your components to do their best work. It has been called the single most important piece of equipment in an A/V system. With a PS Audio Power Plant as the essential building block, your system will always be able to perform at its best.

Foundations of power
The Power Plant technology was the foundation of our first product - 13 years ago - in the form of the P300 Power Plant. It began our return as a company and our exploration of the value of a new approach to dealing with an old problem.
The PerfectWave 10 Power Plant takes your incoming AC power and converts it to DC, and then with patented PS Audio technology,  regenerates and amplifies new sine-wave-perfect, high current AC power.
New high current, ultra low distortion AC power created by Power Plant technology delivers stunning performance from your audio and video components.

By now of course, many reviewers as well as many thousands of customers around the world have experienced for themselves just how critical a Power Plant is; the term accessory doesn’t begin to describe its value. One of our customers, a long-time reviewer for one of the established audio journals, remarked about the Power Plant Premier that “Its the first component anyone serious about high-quality audio should get.”

Built in Boulder
In the era of the P300, PS Audio was a direct-sales company; that is,  we sold direct to customers. As demand for our designs grew we expanded in size and took on a global dealer network to meet the demand. A variety of pressures in that transition necessitated PS building some of our products overseas - in China, to be specific. This has worked very well in a number of ways, most importantly in being able to meet surging demand while keeping prices stable.

But inevitably we gave something up, and now we’re getting it back: incorporating innovations that are the result of continued research and the experience that comes from having more than 5000 Power Plant Premiers in use around the planet,  with the Perfect Wave series of products we’re happily able to return our labor expenditure to US shores. Both the P5 and P5 are all hand-assembled and tested in our plant in Colorado. With this change comes tighter control and a boost to our local economy over this past year, just in time.

The PerfectWave Power Plant; a major step forward
Besides being domestically built by hand, what else is new in the P5?  The P5 is the second largest, and one of the most remarkable Power Plant ever built.  It will handle even wider voltage fluctuations than any Power Plant yet, up to 280 volts for our overseas models and up to 170 volts for our domestic pieces, enough to deal with even the most unstable supply your utility throws at you. You can throw virtually anything at the Perfect Wave series Power Plants and still expect your A/V system to perform its best.

Compared to our previous state-of-the-art, the Power Plant Premier,  the P5 boasts twice the magnetics, twice the energy storage and four times the number of output devices, which provides a stunning reduction in output impedance.  In fact, the output impedance of the P5 is now 100 times lower than any Power Plant ever built.
