This is from the current Emo manual for their amps on page 29. I couldn't find anything else in the manual which would preclude a power conditioner being installed. The manual actually suggests installing a line conditioner in some cases. It assumes that the conditioner will be sized to provide sufficient power to the amp. I would hate to see you lose your amp due to lightning, even though it does have installed protection devices.

Turn on and Turn off Thumps

Plug the amplifier into an unswitched AC outlet, and use the 3.5mm Trigger Input connection with a trigger between 5-12 VDC from the source unit or preamplifier. This should allow the amplifier to turn on and off silently.

If your powered subwoofer is the cause of the “thump” sound (not the other speakers connected to the amplifier), plug it into a different 115VAC outlet than the amplifier so there is no power surge conflict.

Install a line conditioning device.
