The point is not so much cost as it is effectiveness. What good is any piece at any price if it doesn’t do the job. Your typical “office supply” line interactive UPS has a transfer rate (switching from line current to battery) of 8-12 milli-seconds. This does not suffice to keep your recording safe.

A proper double-conversion UPS has no transfer time. Zero, zip, nada.

Shopping for something you can afford is up to you, but you have to know what to shop for and what NOT to shop for. If you want your digital stuff to work without glitches, get double-conversion, not line-interactive.

That’s all I’m saying.
