About the Austere V Series Power (8 outlets)

A refined approach to power protection

The Austere V-Series surge protector sports a striking brushed aluminum outer shell and offers eight protected AC outlets.
A refined approach to power protection
It's refreshing to find companies like Austere. They bring the same thoughtful approach to power protection design that we expect for the rest of the gear in our A/V setup. This V-series surge protector takes the form of a power strip, but has a sleek, durable build quality that screams high-performance component. But it doesn't just look and feel the part — Austere uses premium materials and cutting edge circuitry to keep your TV and audio gear safe.
Protect all the gear in your system
You get eight protected AC outlets, properly spaced out so that you can connect all your gear. There are also 5 protected USB charging ports (2 USB-A and 3 USB-C) so you can safely charge your phone or tablet. Austere's super flexible "WovenArmor" cable ends with a right-angled plug, so that this strip can better fit into tight installations.
3,000-joules of protection from spikes and surges
Austere's "Flameless" MOV circuits will absorb harmful electrical spikes and surges to keep them away from your gear. Each outlet and all the internal circuitry is thermally protected to help prevent electrical fires. An LED display lets you keep an eye on the status of your protection, ground wiring, and incoming power.
Keep dirty power away from your audio gear
Austere uses advanced line filtering technology to help drown out extra noise caused by Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) and Radio Frequency Interference (RFI). EMI and RFI can seep into your system and cause havoc for the sensitive circuitry inside your electronics. Austere shields your connected components from these disturbances, so that your TV and audio gear performs the way it should.
