>Does this "cell phone" supply power a PowerBox, PowerBoat or PowerCabinet? Also, of what size (2, 4, 6, 12 or 18 module)? How many of these Box/Boat/Cabinets can it handle? The size of the psu might also have something to do with the fact that STS products are 100% analogue (with the exception of things like the BLOG, which in essence is logic circuitry), whereas the 200e is more of a hybrid beast.. and digital circuitry tends to suck less juice.. we also dont know what voltages and power requirements are for the 200e (maybe it just runs on +12v, 1A)??The Buchla 200e supply is a laptop power supply that provides 4.17 amps of 12 volts power. This plugs into the middle boat, where it hits three very cute switchers, one each for +/- 15v, and one for +5v. These are mounted to, and hidden under, the power distribution board, and they use the boat as a heat sink. Power to the top and bottom boat is routed through the wooden end-caps. A very tidy system, IMO.
>please note; these are speculations as to why the Serge psu is bigger than Buchla's.I think the biggest difference as far as size goes is switching vs linear.
