Wow, wow. Seriously.
This thing's incredible, in fact that's an understatement. I've worked with Apple hardware nearly all my early computing life and into late now more than ever, and this product could've been produced and engineered right in 1 Infinite Loop, but that's being disingenuous to the original AUSTERE team - the AUSTERE team absolutely KILLED IT HERE!!! This is simply incredible - the build quality, presentation and performance is simply breathe-taking. To the point where Apple would scoop them up and be proud of their acquisition, but I hope that never happens - however it's like the biggest honor in company actions to be offered such a deal by Apple, and this would be it.
Huge positive qualities -
- Sheer heft and build quality; NOTHING feels 'cheap' - because it isn't. Incredibly dense and WELL PUT TOGETHER materials, those two are two differentiating factors that can make one fail the other, but both come together here with excellent manufacturing. People rave about the Tripp Lite I own, this eats it for breakfast. It's not even close. This feels like unboxing a MacBook Pro or iPhone. Or buying an Audi.
--- The packaging btw is, again, the type that makes you want to keep it, like Apples. Not that any corners were cut in the item itself, but the packaging was put together with quality attention to detail and showmanship as well. Simply exceptional. That matters.
Not always, but it's never a bad a thing.
--- The *performance* - It's exceptional. How can I know a surge strip does anything different and HOW DO YOU even MEASURE performance?! Lol. The power conditioning makes my Paradigm studio monitor level speaker setup sound better than I've ever heard them sound; the unit itself is quiet, took out all amp noise, and I hear details, deeper bass abound and overall speaker system performance that I didn't even know was possible...
No, this isn't snake-oil. Power conditioning is very real, matters and is night and day. The Tripp Lite made a difference, this is simply insane... I have no use to use my ESS Sabre DAC anymore as the Mac Pro 2012's volume output and sound quality is now SO cleaned up, plus the amp of the speakers themselves being cleaned up ---- I'm not missing a dang thing in sound quality. Sounds like - off my built in 2012 Mac audio chip --- my $400 Cirrus Logic DAC.
This thing is probably the best friend to your stereo system you can get. It's not a joke. I will now never run my speakers - ANY speakers - without this AUSTERE product. Seriously.
Finally --- the peace of mind; you have the peace of mind you think you will have when you plug your expensive gear into this. The cheap crap is simply crap. No two ways about it. Tripp Lite is great, some others are excellent - this is simply the best 'peace of mind' I've ever had to protect my gear! It's REAL. It makes a difference w/ all the other previously mentioned aspects at play.
Furthermore, they're a real California down-to-Earth company. No film flam or BS. It's all 'you can get a hold of anyone there like they're your neighbor' type of deal.
Only other company like that that's a big one at play is Apple. These guys are so chill. The Gal, who leads the pack at AUSTERE, is simply awesome. She's cool and pushes for the aDesign too - which MATTERS. Seriously, you don't want junk looking cupcakes and burnt waffles running your stuff, do you?! Design cohesively goes with your experience of things in life - and boom, it's not 'snake-oil' of a mind-set, it's real; It's HEALTHY to want and appreciate good design. And this NAILS it.
Seriously, there's nothing else like this on the market, and I couldn't be more pleased. Let me put it this way; it SURPASSED my already high expectations. And that doesn't happen very often these days...
Well done AUSTERE. Permanent customer w/ this kind of stuff for life.

Product Description
FLAWLESSLY CONNECTED, FIERCELY PROTECTED
Austere Power is moving beyond the charge to a place where performance, safety, and design define the new normal. Distinctive by design, Austere surge protectors combine exceptional safety features, advanced power filtering, and diverse charging capabilities with stylish and practical design. The result is an elegant way to power home electronic devices, including 4K & 8K TVs, home audio systems, smartphones, tablets, and laptops.
PERFECT PAIRINGS
|
|
|
|
|---|---|---|
Home TheaterAustere Power surge protectors are designed to ensure that entertainment systems are protected from the potential harm caused by electrical spikes and surges. Not to mention, our PureFiltration technology cleans noise and artifacts for optimal video and audio. |
Home OfficeAustere Power products discreetly sit near desks to safely power and charge multiple devices in a central location, making them ideal for work from home and virtual learning setups. |
Multi-Use RoomAustere Power products are designed with today's most advanced technologies for ultimate performance to maximize functionality, no matter where in the home. |
Isolated Outlet Filtration
Advanced Isolated PureFiltration insulates the power signal from external EMI/RFI disturbances as well as from other devices to deliver video and audio perfection.
Flameless MOV Protection
Redefining how power should perform and protect, Austere employs flameless MOV circuits and thermal protected outlets, keeping you safe from a home electrical fire.
45W PD
Austere Power products offer advanced power options to simultaneously power different products. The Austere Omniport USB provides rapid charge and protection for low-voltage devices. Our ports each deliver up to 2.4 amps and have an integrated smart charging chip. The goal is to charge quickly but safely. And for really fast charging our VII Series product has a USB-C PD port that is rated for 45W continuous, but beyond 60W for peak power.
SmartFit Outlet
To ensure you can simultaneously use all the outlets on your power products, Austere includes SmartFit outlets that are manufactured with the precise spacing to provide the necessary room between each outlet so all devices can fit - no more skipping plugs because chargers and AC adapters are too large.
NOT ALL POWER IS CREATED EQUAL
You may not know it but your surge protectors can wear out over time. Joules - the protective layer of energy that defends your components – are finite. And when they are gone, it leaves your system completely unprotected from shock or surge. Traditional surge protectors only last a year or two so if you can’t remember when you last refreshed your home’s power, it’s likely time to do it now. And to take out the guesswork of when your Austere Power needs to be recycled, the blue protection shield icon on the Power unit will cease to illuminate once the Joules have been used. But that won’t happen for a long time because Austere Power is rated to last more than five times as long as most other power products.

Someone took the expensive Austere strip from its box and returned it with a POS Belkin power strip.
