LISTEN TO THE VENDOR
Speakers do not require [BATTERY BACKUP] and are not a [SUITABLE LOAD] for [INTERACTIVE TYPE] UPS
The UPS [PRINTER POWER] or [BYPASS] outlets on the UPS provides protection against [SURGES] & [SPIKES] The [AVR] outlets on the UPS can not handle high [INRUSH] currents that [LASER PRINTERS] & [PLOTTERS] have These [AVR] outlets can be used for [INKJET PRINTERS] & other low power consuming printers
[PEAK VA] ratings on the [INTERACTIVE TYPE] are not suitable for [HIGH INRUSH] currents or the high peak current spikes draw from [FAST RESPONDING] speakers
Usually you can tell the [OUTPUT RATING] of the UPS by the number of [AVR] outlets:
2 Outlets are about 750 VA Power for PC & Monitor
4 Outlets are about 1000 VA Power for PC Monitor External Backup Drive Printer
6 Outlets are about 1500 VA Power for 2 PC 2 Monitor 2 External Backup Drive
If you require a better [INPUT POWER REGULATION] you need to obtain a 120 VAC 60 Hz AC Regulated Power Supply which is rather [$$ pricy $$] for Speaker protection
