Thank you for your purchase of a PS Power Plant Premier
AC regenerator and Power Center.
The Power Plant Premier is a state of the art AC regenerator
that regulates the AC line voltage, producing clean and
low distortion AC power. The Premier will provide up to
1500 watts of pure, regulated AC power regardless of the
condition of your home’s power. Clean, regulated AC is
essential to optimize the performance of your connected
equipment.
The Premier will not restrict dynamics or soundstage in
any high-end system and will, in fact, provide a superior
level of performance in micro and macro dynamics as
well as maintain harmonic integrity for audio equipment
while increasing color saturation and lowering video noise
in video equipment.
The AC regenerator inside the Power Plant is the key element in the production of low distortion regulated
AC sine waves. On the rear of the Premier, the pure voltage is distributed to your equipment through
5 isolated zones that utilize a new magnetic filtering technology based on wound inductors built from
strips of Nano Crystalline high permeability soft magnetic material. This material has approximately 10
times higher permeability than
any other magnetic materials
ever produced. High
permeability magnetic core
materials allow PS Engineers
to use a minimal amount of
copper wire to build effective
filters, thus preserving micro
and macro dynamics for both
audio and video systems.
PS power products are built
to the highest standards
internally and externally
and feature ¼ inch thick
solid copper power bars,
heavy extruded aluminum
covers and nickel plated,
hand polished Power Port
AC receptacles as standard
equipment.

Once your new Power Plant Premier is unpacked, you’ll need to find a convenient place to set it.
There are several ways to mount the Power Plant Premier: on a shelf, or in a rack. If you mount the
Premier on a shelf, make sure there is adequate clearance below the unit so airflow is not a problem.
Same for the top. If you are planning on driving a lot of equipment that may generate heat in the
Power Plant, consider not placing another piece of
equipment on top of the Premier. If you are placing
the Premier in a rack, you can use the supplied rack
ears or you can use a rack shelf. Make sure there
is adequate ventilation both top and bottom of the
Premier as the unit needs to have good airflow for
cooling.
If you are rack mounting the Premier is supplied
with a set of rack ears that can be mounted to the
Premier.
If your equipment is located a long distance from the
Power Plant Premier, it is preferable to use a long,
heavy gauge shielded power cable between the wall AC receptacle and the Power Plant Premier,
rather than long individual power cables between the equipment and the Power Plant Premier.
The Power Plant Premier can benefit from aftermarket isolation devices such as cones, spikes and
Sorbothane pads.
Once you have chosen the location for the Power Plant Premier you can use the supplied AC
power cord to connect it to the AC wall receptacle or you can use an aftermarket power cord and
receptacle.
We strongly recommend the use of a PS Audio
xStream Power™ AC cable and a PS Power
Port™ AC receptacle, or Soloist AC receptacle
to feed the Power Plant Premier electricity.
While the supplied power cable is adequate
for the task, it is not going to provide the best
performance. Choosing any xStream Power
cable will make a significant performance
improvement over the stock power cable.
We recommend the use of the Soloist in-wall
AC receptacle to feed power to the Premier.
We, however, discourage the use of any other
power conditioning equipment before or after the
Premier without considerable evaluation to determine if there are any sonic or visual shortcomings
of doing so. The Premier has a significant input and output passive filter design and adding extra
power cables to its input or additional filtering to its output may, in fact, be less than desirable.

We would recommend that you power the entire system down before attempting to connect equipment
to the Power Plant Premier.
Plug the Power Plant Premier into an AC receptacle with at least 15 amps of service (in the US) or 7.5
amps of service (in 220 volt countries), preferably using a dedicated AC line. A dedicated line means
there is nothing else plugged into the wiring feeding the AC receptacle and that wiring returns directly
to the AC breaker box.
Our first recommendation on where to connect your new Power Plant Premier would be a PS Soloist
in-wall device. The Soloist provides the first stage of cleaning and protection in the PS Power System
and is an elegant in-wall solution that does not use an additional power cable. Our second choice is
a PS Power Port AC receptacle. While not as good as a Soloist it is certainly preferable to a $1.99
“contractor special” brass contact AC receptacle found in most of our homes.
Use the heaviest gauge shielded AC power cable you can to connect a Power Plant Premier to its
AC source. The heavier the gauge used, the less the chance for restricted dynamics in both audio
and video systems. The PS display will blink when you first power the Power Plant Premier. This is
normal.
Once the Power Plant Premier has been connected to an AC source it is time to connect your
equipment. Each Power Plant Premier has multiple isolated zones called IsoZones™. These are
individually isolated and filtered zones that isolate the power between equipment.
IsoZones should be used to isolate
different genres of equipment from each
other. For instance, you can group digital
equipment together on a single IsoZone
or multiple analog sources on yet another
IsoZone. You should not mix digital,
video or analog equipment on the same
IsoZone if possible. Digital equipment
would be a DVD player, CD player, DAC,
computer, TIVO, or satellite receiver.
Video equipment would be a VCR, TV
or computer monitor. Analog examples
would be a power amp, preamp,
projector, turntable, or any type of tube
equipment. On the Power Plant Premier, IsoZone 5 is labeled Power Amp. It is no different than any
of the other 4 IsoZones, other than it is a single duplex receptacle to keep the heavy current draw of
power amps from affecting more sensitive source equipment.
It is important to use only the highest quality AC power cords that are well shielded to any connected
equipment. It is a good idea to keep in mind that all equipment generates radiated noise when it is
operating. This radiated noise is harmful to both audio and video system performance and is typically
carried down the AC power line.

The Power Plant Premier has selectable
Power Zone switching. Each of the 5 IsoZones
on the Power Plant Premier are controlled by
one of three Power Zones labeled A, Band
C. Acontrols IsoZones 1 and 2, Bcontrols
IsoZones 3 and 4 and Ccontrols IsoZone 5
(labeled Power Amp).
Each of the three Power Zones can be set to
one of three positions: always on, switched
and delayed.
Always on. The front panel power button
(PS blue logo) or rear panel DC triggers will
have no effect on any Power Zone switched
to this position. Anything plugged into a
receptacle will be immediately connected to the regenerated AC power. Use this setting for equipment
you never want to turn off from the Power Plant Premier’s main power button. Examples would be a
computer or a TIVO (so it can record a preset program when the system is shut off) or another piece
of equipment used for a trigger voltage.
Switched. The power button on the Power Plant Premier (PS blue logo) or the DC triggers will activate
or deactivate any equipment plugged into a receptacle set to “switched”. This is the standard default
and recommended switch setting for any source equipment plugged into the Power Plant Premier.
These receptacles will become the delayed receptacles on turn-off, giving the power amplifier time to
shut off properly.
Delayed. After the power button is pressed or the trigger is activated on the Power Plant Premier,
these outlets will be delayed by 3 seconds before turning on. Use this setting for power amplifiers
or any equipment that should turn on after the Power Plant Premier’s switched outlets are activated.
These recetacles will turn off immediately when the power button is pressed and the switched outlets
become delayed.
DC triggers on the Power Plant Premier are used to remotely turn on and off the Power Plant Premier.
These will accept any voltage from 5 to 15 volts. If your equipment produces a DC trigger voltage, use
this input to control the Power Plant Premier.
The CATV and telephone protection inlets found on the Power Plant Premier are high quality, no-loss
in/out paths for protection. The CATV connectors can accommodate two sources such as a cable
TV or a satellite or antenna feed.
Once everything is connected you can press the front panel blue PS logo light which will act as the
on/off power button if you are not using the DC triggers or do not have the Always On switch position
activated on the rear of the unit.

The front panel of the Premier has three function buttons, located just below the display. It also has
multiple modes that can be accessed from the front panel or remote control including: voltage, THD,
MultiWave and CleanWave. The latter can only be accessed via the remote control.
From left to right as
you face the unit, the
functions are mode up,
mode down, display.
Mode buttons are
used to scroll through
the display options.
Display options include,
voltage and THD (Total
Harmonic Distortion).
Each mode has an
associated function
indicator that will light
up to indicate the
display function you are
on.
The default display
position is Voltage In.
This shows the voltage
coming into the Power
Plant from the AC wall socket.
Pressing the mode up button, the next display choice is Voltage Out. This displays the voltage from
the output of the Power Plant and represents the voltage being fed to your equipment. The default
Output Voltage is 230. Under normal operating conditions, the output voltage will remain steady,
The next position is the Difference Voltage. This is the numeric difference between the input AC
voltage and the Output AC voltage.
The next position is the Incoming THD measurement. This measures the percent of harmonics
present on the incoming AC line. Typical in a home is between 2% and 5%. Harmonics are
generated by distortions in the AC waveforms, clipped top of the sine wave and added noise. These
are undesirable. The Premier will reduce these harmonics on its output by up to 10 times.
The next position is Outgoing THD. This measures the percentage of harmonics present on the
output of the Power Plant, and what is being fed to your equipment.
The display button on the far right side of the Premier has three positions that control display
brightness. Full, half and off.
MultiWave and CleanWave are accessed from the supplied remote control. Using the button

marked MultiWave or
CleanWave, the Premier will
activate the selected function
and the front panel will display
the associate word.
The button on the remote
labeled “MW” for MultiWave
toggles between MultiWave or
sine wave. In the MultiWave
position, the peak charging
time of the sine wave is
extended to help connected
equipment lower power
supply ripple and therefore
improve the performance.
MultiWave can have the
same improvement gained
from adding a larger power
transformer or more power
supply capacitance to
connected equipment.
The button on the remote
labeled “CleanWave” will
activate the CleanWave
function and the front panel
of the Premier will begin to
countdown the time left as
the Premier is applying the CleanWave signal. CleanWave places a series of higher frequencies that
ride on the main sine wave to help “degauss” connected magnetics. To make CleanWave effective,
make sure all connected equipment is on and functioning. CleanWave can be used between CD’s,
movies and vinyl. It is not recommended to activate CleanWave while you are listening as it may not
sound correct until CleanWave has finished its cycle.
There are two buttons on the remote labeled “Edit”. These are not used on the Power Plant and are
there for future products and features.

The Power Plant Premier is best left plugged
in to the AC source at all times. The current
draw is negligible and keeping it powered on
will make sure the internal components stay
working properly.
There is no harm in leaving the unit on at
all times as the lifespan of the Power Plant
Premier will be unaffected by leaving it on.
There are no user replaceable internal fuses
inside the Power Plant Premier. There is an
externally accessible circuit breaker right next
to where the AC plug is connected to the
Power Plant Premier. Simply push the button
on the circuit breaker should it be tripped. The
components inside the Power Plant Premier
have lethal voltages when powered and even
when un-powered. Capacitors inside the
Power Plant Premier can retain an electrical
charge after the unit has been powered down.
Do not attempt to get inside the unit for any
reason unless instructed to do so by your
dealer or an authorized service representative.
Should the Power Plant Premier cease to function, check the circuit breaker and if that fails, contact
your dealer or PS Audio’s service center for help.
Placement of the Power Plant Premier is important with respect to good ventilation. Placement with
respect to other equipment can be important as well. In general, place the Power Plant Premier close
to the equipment you wish to power. It is always preferable to have a long heavy gauge power cable
feeding the Power Plant Premier if there is a distance problem.
Isolation through the use of spikes, cones or Sorbothane feet is recommended for the Power Plant
Premier if space and budget allows. Isolation of any piece of high-end stereo and theater equipment
is always recommended wherever practical.
Yes, cables make a difference. It is important to use the best power cables possible. Remember that
everything you see and hear in an AV system is nothing more than the power from the wall modulated
by a CD, DVD, turntable or tuner. You are actually “listening or viewing” the AC power. So it is critically
important to connect your equipment with the heaviest gauge well shielded power cables you can
afford. Power is the foundation of everyone’s system.
The master power switch for the Power Plant Premier is found on the front panel of the Power Plant
Premier. Look for the company logo and press it.

You do not have to use the Power Amp IsoZone on the Power Plant Premier for a power amp. It is
marked like this for convenience.
All IsoZones are identical in build and all use our new Nano Crystalline soft magnetic material to clean
the AC power.
You can plug the Power
Plant into a 7.5 amp or 10
amp receptacle without any
problems .
MultiWave and CleanWave
are available on the Premier
but accessible only from the
supplied remote control.
MultiWave and CleanWave
are not recommended for
all equipment. For example,
neitherCleanWaveorMultiWave
should be used on equipment
with an AC motor. Most equipment is fine, but should you hear “funny noises” coming from the
equipment itself when using either of the non-sine wave positions, refrain from using the waveforms
until you can verify with the factory or your dealer or distributor if it is safe for your equipment.
The front panel metering system can monitor either voltage or distortion. In the voltage mode, you
can monitor the incoming voltage (from the wall) or the outgoing voltage (from the regenerator) or the
difference between the two. In the THD harmonic distortion mode, you can monitor either incoming
THD (from the wall) or outgoing THD (from the regenerator). The amount of output voltage and THD is
a function of a number of factors, including load, incoming line conditions and equipment connected.
In general the Premier will reduce incoming THD by a factor of 10 for a nominal load.
The output frequency of the Premier is the same as your country’s AC frequency. In North America,
the frequency of the AC line is typically 60Hz. In Europe and Asia, the output frequency is typically
50Hz. The Premier’s output frequency cannot be adjusted.
The Power Plant Premier is specific to your country’s voltage. Do not use the Power Plant Premier on
a voltage higher than it is rated for. For instance, do not take a 120 volt rated Power Plant Premier and
attempt to use it in a 230 volt country. Failure to observe this cautionary note will void your warranty
and may damage the Power Plant Premier. If you need to operate the Power Plant Premier at a
voltage other than the voltage it was designed for, contact your dealer, distributor or the factory.

If no power comes out of the Power Plant Premier, check to make sure power is going into the Power
Plant. You can do this by testing the outlet it is plugged into with another device such as a lamp.
Sometimes, we find Power Plant Premiers plugged into switched wall outlets. These are typically the
lower of the two AC receptacles and are controlled by a light switch. If you have no power to the
receptacle, check the circuit breaker feeding the receptacle.
If you have verified there is power to feed the
Power Plant Premier, check the Power Plant
Premier’s blue front panel PS logo to see if it
is lit. If not, press the logo itself. This is the
power button. Check and make sure there
are no connections to the triggers. Pull them
out if there are. If the logo does not light,
check the circuit breaker next to the AC inlet
on the Power Plant Premier. Press the circuit
breaker to activate.
Lastly, make sure you are feeding the Power
Plant Premier the correct voltage. The Power
Plant Premiers are specific to your country’s
voltage. If, for example, you are trying to
operate at 120 volt Power Plant Premier on
220 volts, it will not turn on. If all else fails,
contact your PS dealer, distributor or PS
directly for help.
If the blue logo power button blinks or the
display shows bars when you first plug in the
Power Plant Premier to an AC receptacle, this
is normal. The unit is calculating the voltage being fed to it.
If the output voltage, as displayed by the front panel meter, shows something other than the nominal
voltage (100 in Japan, 120 in most of North America, 230 in most of Europe and Asia) when the display
is set to monitor the output voltage there are several likely answers as to why. The most likely cause
is the input voltage is too far out of range and the Premier is driving a heavy load. The Premier has a
limited range of regulation it can perform, which is dependant on both how much power it is asked to
deliver and how much voltage difference it must compensate for. Typically this is not a problem, but
under certain load and line conditions, the nominal voltage will not be what is expected. In this case,
the Power Plant is operating within its parameters and connected equipment is still far better off than
if connected directly to the wall.
If the remote control does not operate, check for proper battery insertion and make sure there are
fresh batteries in the unit.

If the trigger circuit is not working, check to make sure you are feeding it proper voltage. The trigger
circuit requires 5 to 15 volts positive. You can test the trigger circuit with a simple 9 volt battery.
Connect the minus of the battery to the outer ring of the trigger input mini jack and the plus to the “tip”
or center of a male mini jack. The 9 volt battery will provide the proper voltage to operate the trigger.
When power is applied, the Power Plant Premier will turn on. When power is removed, the Power
Plant Premier will turn off.
If you experience a hum through the speakers once the Power Plant Premier is powering your
equipment this can be caused by several things. The first is the source. If there is an excessive
amount of buzz or noise from the loudspeaker, it may be caused by a ground loop, a light dimmer in
the home, poor AC power, or any number of causes. The quickest way to determine where to start
your search is to simply turn the preamplifier, integrated, receiver or Control Amplifier off, disconnect
the audio cables between it and the sources, and see if the hum goes away when you turn the
preamplifier, integrated, receiver or Control Amplifier back on. If it does, it’s most likely a ground loop
or buzz from a dimmer.
If this doesn’t solve the problem, follow these easy humbusting tips.
The easiest way to figure out where ground loop problems lie is by the process of elimination. You
need to determine where the hum or buzz is coming from within your system.
If the hum/buzz goes away when you remove the inputs to the power amp, your next step will be
to reconnect the amp and move further down the chain. If you were working with a receiver or an
integrated amplifier, you will need to jump to step 4. If you have a preamp, or processor that is feeding
the power amp, your next step would be to disconnect all inputs to the preamplifier or processor. Once
these are disconnected, and the preamp or processor is connected only to the power amplifier, turn
the system on and again, listen for hum. Should the hum now appear, it is a problem with your preamp
or processor or their interaction with the power amp. Before returning the preamp or processor to
the manufacturer, try a cheater plug to break a ground loop. Cheater plugs are simple devices that
convert a three prong AC plug into a two prong AC plug and in the act of converting three prongs, to
two prongs, they disconnect the ground from the wall socket. Try one of these on the preamp, or the
power amp, or both.
If you determine that there is still no hum present when the preamp, processor or receiver is
connected with no inputs, then selectively begin plugging in your various inputs one at a time. After
each connection, check for hum until you discover the humming culprit.
VCR’s, surround processors, and any device that is connected to a television cable or satellite dish
can cause a loud buzz and should always be suspect. If, by the process of elimination described
above, you determine it is a component like a VCR that is causing the hum/buzz to occur, and using
a cheater plug or removing the ground pin on a PS xStream Power Cable doesn’t help matters, it may
be necessary to isolate the cable connection (CATV) with an isolation transformer. This inexpensive
device is available at most Wal Mart, Radio Shack or department store type outlets and is sometimes
called a ‘matching transformer’. If you have problems finding one, call your local cable TV company

for advice. The matching transformer will be placed between the cable TV cord and the VCR, TV or
processor.
Just remember, take the system
down to its simplest level of
connection. Find a way to hook
the system up with as many
pieces of the system missing or
not connected. Keep it simple
and get it to the point where the
hum’s gone. Then start adding
back components one at a time
until the hum returns.
