Dave, as the local AudioCircle resident with the most experience with the SurgeX product line, I thought it best to ask this here.
Reading the manufacturer's manuals on these units, the specifically caution against installing them unless there is at least 10 meters of power line run between them and the electrical service panel. I'm wondering why this is, as I live in an apartment and the room where my gear is actually contains the service panel for the apartment, meaning there is probably 3 meters at max between wall outlet and electrical panel. Is this just a limitation on the units with the remote control/programming/integrated multimeter functionality, as I don't see the same caution noted in the install manual for the stand-alone non rack mount units?
Thanks!
