OK to Have Power Conditioner Racked with KHE Head Switcher?

[Genghis]

I have just received my KHE Head Switcher and I'm looking to rack mount it and am considering having it in a rack along with a decent power conditioner which would be used to power it and the four amplifiers that will be used with it, I just wanted to find out if there could be noise issues having power in close proximity to the switcher like that. Does anyone have experience with this type of configuration?

Thanks!

My biggest concern would be running 4 amplifiers simultaneously from a single 15A wall circuit.

I’ll check on that. Another thing to consider there.

That’s how I have mine set up and it runs 4 amps just fine.

Cool. That is how I want to set mine up. I think I still have a power conditioner I can put in the rack when I get it.

Why? It's rated for 11 more amps

I have a KHE switcher and while I don't do it often, sometimes I'll turn on all 6 connected amps, plus separate SS poweramps, plus a pedalboard, all powered from one 15A outlet, and I've never had an issue.

I think part of it is that with the KHE, only one amp is doing work at a time while the rest sit idle.

That's exactly it. An amp pulls very little current while idling.

And no issues with racking the power conditioner with the switcher.
