I'm researching a rack-mount UPS for my rig.
To do so, I require the total Wattage of my gear...
Where Can I find the Power Consumption for my Receptor, and my soon-to-be Receptor Pro?
The back of my Roland XV-5080 says: 25 Watts
There's no listing of Watts on my Receptor.
Wattage?

There should be a sticker on the bottom of the unit that states the rating of the power supply. and that figure is worst case surge power, which is stated as 2.5 A at 100 V, which is 250 watts. In actuality I've never seen one get any where near that even on power up.
In actual usage, the nominal power consumption under typical loads is 60 to 75 watts, and if you really load it down with a huge number of plguins and lots of disc streaming you might be able to get it up to 90W, but you'd have a hard time getting it to consume much more than that. So if you have a UPS rated for 150W or greater you should be fine, but of course the higher the wattage of the UPS the longer the "up time" will be in case of power failure, so I guess it depends on how long you're going to want to run the Receptor on batteries. In most cases, in event of stage power failure, its only acoustic guitars, vocalists, and drummers who can still be heard since the chances are the PA and back line amps are all down, so I would think the only "up time" you need is enough time to shut the unit down properly...
Great question, though!
All the best
