 To UPS, or not to UPS. That is the question.
We all know what happens to your heart and your pocket when you lost power and you didn't have a backup. Ouch, I can feel the pain as I type this thought...
Want UPS? Is the "Uninterruptible Power Supply" an answer? True Sine wave UPS' or the "on" when you need them version OK.
And what about the noise the standard UPS induces while engaged, doing it's job? Is the potential added noise on your audio a fair compromise when you would have lost it completely? It's a quick solution.
We can always get a genie and a serious transfer bypass switch which automatically switches to the genie when shore power is lost. Unless you have a vehicle to install it in, that's a lot to lug around.
How do you deal with mission critical situations when you CANNOT loss the signal?
To UPS, or not to UPS, that is the question.
I went UPS on all mission critical racks. You can always use a better method when available.
As Fletchness may say, "YMMV."
