Austere VII Series Power (8 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 VII-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 — and rapidly recharge

You get eight protected AC outlets, properly spaced out so that you can connect all your gear. Austere's super flexible "WovenArmor" cable ends with a right-angled plug, so that this strip can better fit into tight installations. There are also 5 protected USB charging ports so you can safely charge your phone or tablet.

You'll find two USB-A and two USB-C ports that serve up enough power to recharge your phone or tablet. But the special USB-C PD port is rated at 45W, which is enough power to charge most laptop batteries. This extra power can charge your phone and tablet faster, too.

4,000-joules of protection from spikes and surges

Their "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.

Austere's VII-series power strip offers the company's best power protection — a 4,000 joules rating. The outlets are also isolated from each other to avoid noise and cross-talk between your connected gear. 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.
