Re: Suitable PS for Doepfer

2005-05-14 by allanjhall

Looks like it may be a single rail PSU as I can only see one large 
smoothing cap so in that case it will only give +12V, however if it 
is dual rail make sure you put a 1A fuse between each power rail and 
your bussbars to limit current. Doepfer supply is 0.8 Amps, this is 
a massive 3.4 amps - if you get a short anywhere there is sufficient 
current here to burn the tracks off your bussbar and module PCB's

Other power supply to consider is the Condor (was PowerOne) HAA15-
08, it will give 1A per rail at 12 V (or 0.8A at 15V) and is used by 
MOTM, has lower noise and better regulation than standard Doepfer 
unit. Mouser part# 675-HAA15-0.8A, price $46.90

cheers,
Allan
