PS AUDIO STELLAR POWERPLANT 3

Ex-demo from distributor. Comes with original packaging and manual.

The Stellar PowerPlant 3 represents an accessible and advanced solution to improve and protect the power supply of audio systems, ideal for sources and small to medium-sized setups. This AC power regenerator is the result of an evolution of the renowned P12, P15, and P20 series, offering 300 watts of continuous power and peaks up to 1000 watts, perfect for powering source components or mid-range class AB amplifiers, as well as high-efficiency class D amplifiers like the Stellar M700 monoblocks. Its operation is based on converting incoming energy from alternating current to direct current, similar to that of a battery, and then regenerating a perfectly sinusoidal, regulated, high-current AC power thanks to PS Audio’s patented technology.

The result is a purified power signal that eliminates common home power issues such as low voltage, distorted waveforms, power sags, and noise, thus ensuring superior power quality. The very low output impedance (just 0.008 ohms) guarantees that even the most demanding amplifiers receive clean, constant power without risk of drops or dynamic compression during the most intense musical passages. Thanks to this capability, the PowerPlant 3 delivers stunning dynamics, stronger bass, and a wider, more open soundstage compared to any passive power conditioner.

The MultiWave technology built into the regenerator extends the sine wave peak charging time, increasing the available energy storage for connected equipment and reducing ripple in the power supply, resulting in noticeably improved musical fidelity. Additionally, the device protects audio systems from overvoltages, spikes, and electrical transients through sophisticated clamp and regulation systems that prevent damage even under severe voltage fluctuations—a crucial feature for preserving delicate and expensive equipment.

The Stellar PowerPlant 3 presents itself as an elegant and easy-to-use device designed for simple integration into any system: just plug it into the wall socket and immediately enjoy regenerated, noise-free power. With four European standard outlets, a regulated AC input, and low power consumption, this regenerator becomes an essential companion for those seeking stability, safety, and high-level sound performance capable of transforming even a good audio system into a captivating and rewarding experience.
