Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic USC-6R is a rack-mount sequence controller providing 6-circuit timed power-up sequencing for AV rack systems. It controls the order and timing of equipment power-on events to prevent inrush current overloads, protect amplifiers and speakers, and ensure systematic startup of complex AV system racks.

Product Description

The USC-6R manages six independently controlled AC circuits, each powered on in a defined sequence with configurable delay intervals between stages. This eliminates simultaneous power-on inrush from multiple devices, which can trip breakers, stress power distribution equipment, and cause audio thumps from amplifiers turning on before source components are stabilized. The unit mounts in standard 19″ EIA rack rails and operates as a standalone controller without requiring external control systems. It is appropriate for any AV rack containing power amplifiers, processors, displays, or other equipment sensitive to power sequencing order. Front panel controls and status indicators are included for direct management without a control system interface.
