Protecting a Roland V-series mixer

It cannot possibly use that much power, so get a good UPS for PCs and use that. Make sure to get one that performs line conditioning.

Surge strips are a poor man's "outlet". They provide minimal protection for your investment. Particularly if you say that you have lost devices in the past due to line aberrations. If that is the case, then line conditioning is what you seek, and many modern UPSs incorporate it.

If your Roland mixer is of high value to you, invest in a very good UPS. The APC, and the Belkin units are very good. A surge protector is not very good for serious protection.

As for anything of value, it is best to put a UPS on it. This way, it is protected as much as possible for a reasonable cost.

Obviously a suppressor is necessary - TrippLite, APC, Belkin... something far beyond one of those worthless strips with a fuse. But how great is the risk of damage to components such as these to sags and brownouts? Is something like an APC SmartUPS needed? Something with a battery to pump up the voltage during what are becoming fairly common sags and brownouts in this area?

Thanks
