PS AUDIO DIRECTSTREAM POWER PLANT P12

The DirectStream Power Plant 12 is PS Audio’s most powerful compact AC regenerator. It takes the often unstable, noisy, and distorted AC power from your home and fully regenerates it, delivering a perfectly regulated, high-current pure sine wave that drastically improves the performance of both audio and video equipment. By converting the incoming AC power into DC and then regenerating a new AC waveform, the P12 eliminates typical issues found on household power lines, such as voltage drops, waveform distortion, power sags, and electrical noise. The result is clean, safe power for every connected component.

The impact on sound quality is immediately noticeable: significantly improved dynamics—from the subtlest detail to the most intense musical peaks—a wider, more open and natural soundstage, and an almost nonexistent noise floor. Music becomes more immersive, with a level of clarity and realism that is hard to achieve using a basic wall socket or a passive power conditioner. More than just regenerated power, the P12 also protects your gear from potentially harmful events such as surges, voltage spikes, power sags, and other electrical anomalies. With advanced input protection and constant output regulation, the P12 ensures stable, safe power delivery even under extreme voltage variations.

Internally, the P12 is built with active components similar to those found in high-end audio amplifiers, capable of regenerating waveforms with ultra-low output impedance—essential for supplying amplifiers with the full current they need, even during demanding passages. Thanks to this low impedance, the P12 guarantees that your amplifier will never be "power-starved," enabling optimal performance even at high listening volumes and providing better dynamic control than any passive conditioner on the market. The included MultiWave technology extends the peak charging time of the AC sine wave, increasing energy reserves and reducing power supply ripple. The result is a wider and more musically accurate soundstage.

On the front panel, a 4.3-inch full-color touchscreen display provides real-time monitoring of both input and output power distortion, performance improvements, and power consumption. This intuitive interface also allows users to customize settings such as power-up/down sequencing, output voltage, and individual outlet zone control. Advanced power analysis tools like a built-in oscilloscope and THD analyzer are also accessible via the display.

The DirectStream Power Plant 12 is far more than just a filter or conditioner—it’s a personal AC generator that rebuilds and improves your power supply, providing audio and video systems with a solid, safe, and high-performance foundation that delivers superior sound quality and long-term protection.
