The Richard Gray's Power Company 1200 Custom (1200 AC/1200C) is a high-current parallel power delivery line conditioner that uses large inductive chokes wired in parallel with the AC line rather than placing the power directly in series through filtering electronics. This design provides non-current-limiting power enhancement for demanding audio and home theater systems by acting as a magnetic energy reservoir that stores and releases current on demand, lowering the power-line noise floor without restricting dynamic swings. Housed in a heavy, rack-mountable chassis (about 55 lb) with an award-winning Art Deco front panel, the unit features a switchable backlit RGPC logo with user-selectable blue or orange illumination (or off, depending on production/version) and is available in black or silver finishes. On the rear panel, the 1200 Custom provides twelve commercial-grade AC outlets (six duplex, NEMA 5-20R), allowing it to power and condition an entire two-channel rig, a demanding home theater, or a full AV rack. It incorporates balanced AC surge protection, a resettable circuit breaker, and is supplied with rack-mount ears for use in standard equipment racks as well as for shelf or floor placement. Internally, the 1200 Custom effectively integrates the functional equivalent of two of the company's parallel choke modules (similar to pairing two 400-series units) to provide double high current on demand and enhanced line-noise reduction relative to a single module. The unit ships with a detachable 20-amp-rated power interface (typically via a 20A IEC inlet) and a heavy-gauge power cord appropriate to that inlet. An optional High Tension Wire 2.0 power cable upgrade is offered as an accessory rather than standard equipment. Because the 1200 Custom is a parallel inductor-based line conditioner and surge protector, it is often distinguished from "traditional" series-mode power conditioners: the line voltage is not routed through a bank of series filters that can limit instantaneous current, but instead benefits from inductive parallel filtering and energy storage that operates alongside the mains line to improve perceived dynamics, blacker backgrounds, and overall audio/video performance in resolving systems.
