Introduction

When you invest in electronics, be it for the home theater or for the home office, battery backup is something that should not be left out of your budget. In these days, when time equals money, it's unthinkable that a lightning strike, random brownout or other electrical snafu could cost you hours of work or even thousands of dollars in equipment. CyberPower's PR1500LCD UPS will guarantee your work doesn't get wiped out when someone down at the local power station decides to trip over an extension cord, or a squirrel forgets that running the Nutty 500 race across a wet power line might not be the best decision he's made all week.

I use a Cyberpower PR2200LCDRT2U. There is no noise added to my system. Fans only run if there is a power outage. Of coarse, I shut my system down after the outage. SAFELY.

I can't imagine how many times this component has saved another component in my system. It is priceless. It will also kick on during crazy insane volume levels. Usually rocking by myself when that happens. If the fans come on then, there is no way I could hear them.

Did the PR1500LCDRTXL2U have an audible hum/buzz? What about fan noise?
I recently purchased a CyberPower UPS( OR500LCDRM1U ). I had to return it, because it was too loud( audible hum ).
