Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Technical Questions EP500 Noise/Surge Suppression

Best way to find out is to do a BER test.

BER?

Bit Error Rate.

OIC. Would want to be sure ahead of time that simply plugging the thing in wasn't going to fry my equipment.

No, that won't happen.

Good to know. I though it meant Beer-induced Erratic Ranting.

Thanks Mojo, I was hoping you would chime in. I had no idea that the MOVs had to fit the application other than their size and durability to the task at hand.

Heh heh, Funny, I remember when everyone was jealous of my work provided, ISDN line at home back when everyone else had dial. Then I became the slower, jealous one because people in the cities were getting DSL. Thankfully, I now have a very speedy DSL connection.

Anywhoo, I ran my old ISDN through the RJ-11 jack on my surge protector with no troubles. However, I have no idea if it was designed for that or how sensitive the line would have been to the deviation.

Murph,
Thanks for the reply and recommendation with the Tripp Lite HT1010SAT! I ordered this model from J&R.com for $56.55 shipped. This product makes great sence when looking at performance and price point. I'm starting to get very busy at work which may slow the process of completing this project(heck, even starting it for that matter). I'm in no rush and know this whole process will take a great deal of time and patience to do it right. I'm sure plenty questions will arise and I thank you for your input.

Regards,
demetman

I'm sorry to bring this topic back up, but my question has somewhat to do w/ this and placement of subs. Here real soon I will be getting an EP500 and an EP350 for my home theater. My question is, I have very limited electrical outlets (4 in all)down in my theater.
My main speakers are on my south wall of my basement, but there is no electrical outlets there. I only have the outlets halfway in my room on both sidewalls (east and west). Would it be practical to plug in the subs directly to the wall sockets, one on the east wall and one on the west wall, almost facing each other, but not quite. I'm talking a difference of 5 to 8 feet, or do I need to buy a longer electrical cord that has the same rating of the ones that come with the axioms and set it up by my front speakers? If this makes any sense.

Sorry for the amatuer diagram, :^), but I labeled the walls E where there's an outlet. So as you can see, I don't have much outlets to work with. I put the greater than and less than marks beside the subs to show you which way they will be pointing. Any help with this situation is greatly appreciated!
