Pro AV UPS Solutions
Professional AV systems drive collaboration, communication, and entertainment across corporate, institutional, broadcast, and venue environments. A power interruption mid-presentation, mid-event, or mid-broadcast isn’t a minor inconvenience — it’s an operational failure. Xtreme Power UPS and Smart PDU solutions keep AV infrastructure running and give integrators remote control when something goes wrong.
The cost of AV power failure
A power event during a live presentation, broadcast, or event causes immediate visible failure — signal loss, display dropout, audio interruption. A UPS bridges the gap and gives the system time for a controlled response rather than an abrupt shutdown.
AV control systems — processors, DSPs, matrix switchers — can take minutes to reboot and re-establish signal routing. A UPS prevents the reboot from happening at all during brief power events, maintaining signal continuity and user experience.
AV integrators managing systems across multiple sites under service contracts need remote recovery capability. J90 switchable outlets and SPDU Smart PDUs allow power-cycling of hung devices remotely — without dispatching a technician for what may be a simple device lockup.
UPS and PDU solutions for Pro AV
The J60 fits inside AV control panels on a DIN rail or mounts behind displays and inside credenzas. The J60C adds short-depth 1U rack form factor for shallow AV racks — 8.5″ depth fits wall-mount racks and furniture-grade AV cabinets. Both are fanless — silent operation in occupied environments.
View J60 / J60C →Online double-conversion with per-outlet switching — the J90’s individual outlet control eliminates the need for a separate PDU for remote device reboot. 50°C operation for AV closets and equipment rooms that run warm. LiFePO₄ battery eliminates replacement across distributed multi-site deployments.
View J90 →Online double-conversion in a convertible rack/tower form factor. External battery packs for extended runtime. SNMP/web monitoring. LiFePO₄ battery for long service life. Available at 120V and 208/230V — suitable for both standard and higher-voltage AV infrastructure.
View P91Li →Three-phase online lithium UPS powering video walls, digital scoreboards, broadcast AV systems, and distributed AV infrastructure across large venues. Hot-swappable battery modules for maintenance without downtime. Integrated frequency conversion — supports imported equipment and global deployments.
View Li90 →Modular single-phase UPS architecture with hot-swappable power and battery modules. Scalable from 6kVA to 48kVA — grows with the AV infrastructure. N+1 redundancy for mission-critical broadcast and institutional AV environments. Integrated maintenance bypass.
View M90S →Switched and metered by outlet — monitor load per device, remotely power-cycle individual AV components, and receive alerts before failures impact system performance. Pairs with the J90 for a complete rack power management solution: UPS runtime at the device level, intelligent control at the PDU level.

Common questions about Pro AV UPS
For shallow AV racks and credenzas, the J60C at 8.5″ depth fits where standard UPS units can’t. For full-depth AV racks requiring remote reboot capability, the J90’s 1U form factor and individual outlet switching is the recommended combination. For boardrooms and production racks requiring more capacity, the P91Li covers 1–3kVA at 2U.
Yes — two ways. The J90’s individual switchable outlets allow per-device power cycling remotely via SNMP or web interface. The SPDU Smart PDU adds outlet-level switching and metering to any rack — pair it with any UPS for complete remote control. For integrators managing racks across multiple client sites, either approach eliminates truck rolls for device lockup recovery.
Runtime depends on load and UPS model. Most conference room and boardroom AV loads at 200–400W on a J90 will run 20–45 minutes — sufficient for most utility events and generator transfer scenarios. The J90-2kLiD and J90-3kLiD support external EBP48 battery packs for significantly extended runtime. For stadium and venue deployments, the Li90 and M90S support longer runtime configurations coordinated with facility generator strategy.
Yes. The J90 and P91Li support SNMP monitoring integration with network management systems. The Li90 includes programmable dry contacts for integration with building management and SCADA systems. The SPDU Smart PDU provides outlet-level control that can be integrated into managed AV service workflows. Xtreme Power engineers assist with integration planning for specific AV control environments.
Lithium UPS platforms — J60, J60C, J90, P91Li, Li90 — carry a 5 or 6-year warranty including electronics and battery, with LiFePO₄ batteries rated for up to 15-year service life under ideal conditions. This is particularly relevant for AV integrators who want to avoid mid-contract battery replacements at client sites.
