To cover the broadest possible range of uses, the rear-side outlets are arranged in pairs that are optimised to suit digital, analogue, and high-current devices, respectively. The front panel in turn features a display and a bank of five LEDs to provide a reliable overview of the unit's operating state. The Black Lion Audio PG-1 Type F MKII is additionally equipped with a USB port for charging smartphones and tablets, and the whole range of features ensures a flexible and customisable power supply as well as a clear overview, allowing high-quality production results in the studio.

At the centre of the Black Lion Audio PG-1 Type F MKII's front panel is a numerical display that reliably indicates what voltage is present at the source, and its brightness can be adjusted using the "Dimmer" knob on the left-hand side. The front panel also features five LED indicators located beneath the display that warn the user of any operational problems. The first LED ("Ground OK") indicates whether the unit has been connected to a properly grounded power supply, while the second ("Wiring Fault") indicates whether any line or neutral connections are wired incorrectly. The third LED ("Clean Power On") indicates that all connected devices are being supplied with clean AC power, and the fourth ("Abnormal Voltage") indicates the presence of under/over-voltage. Finally, the "Protection On" LED indicates that the surge protection circuits are working properly. The user can additionally connect a 12V lamp to improve legibility, and the PG-1 Type F MKII can be installed in a 19" rack.

Black Lion Audio has designed the PG-1 Type F MKII for studio professionals who know how indispensable a safe and reliable power supply is when it comes to achieving excellent production results - after all, the performance level of professional studio equipment and synthesizers is determined not only by the components used but also by the quality of the power with which they are supplied. This power conditioner is equipped with premium-grade Panasonic and WIMA capacitors, and its central display and LED bank allow everything to be monitored closely. Should overvoltage occur, the Black Lion Audio PG-1 Type F MKII will additionally emit an acoustic warning signal. The user can also easily retrofit a thermal protection circuit on the front of the unit, and the PG-1 Type F MKII has been designed with a two-stage system to allow the connected equipment to be switched on and off in sequence.
