Remember, not using the AS PSU will void their warranty. Just know this before you do anything. I do think Bob needs to release a stand alone unit however as rack mounting may not be everyone's first choice (as it wasn't mine). Condor makes a supply however that is adjustable from 15 to 12 and is bipolar and really really good. Mine are fused of course, but I've never blown one - the supply goes into foldback way before my FASTBLO fuse goes! A very well protected unit. You can find these at Mouser in the US for about $80 or so bucks with a 1.7 amp limit. They also have a 3 amp model for a little under twice that. Regarding the 5 volt supply - not all modules need this, but ones with displays definately do. If you plan to do with a 5 volt regulator off the 12 volt line, it will work, but I strongly suggest you mount it on a heat sink because that little guy will get hotter than a pistol otherwise. hope this helps, Peter ALMAGATA@telefonica.net wrote: > Hey wait a minute!!! > > Youll need a +-12 Volts power supply and some modules need +5 V also!!! > Hbb 15-1.5 is +-15 Volts and you can damage some modules!!!! > > Regards, > > Josue. > > ----- Mensaje Original ----- > De: "Julian" <julian@22host24.com> > Fecha: Jueves, Febrero 12, 2004 6:53 pm > Asunto: Re: [analogue_systems] Power supply for a few AS modules > >> <html><body> >> >> >> <tt> >> Hi there, >> >> >> >> +/- 12v linear, not switched mode (switched are what your computer >> runs off... linear are the heavy ones with the chunky transformer) >> >> >> >> the motm modular, as do most oakley builders use powerone. if >> your in america, then you may as wel go for one of those, but >> theyre harder to get hold of across the pond. really any quality >> linear unit should be fine. as for ampage, dont go too high. to >> give an idea, the often underpowered doepfer racks use 600ma >> supplies. power one makes a nice 1.5 amp unit. off the top of my >> head, the part is somthing like the hbb15-1.5 >> >> >> >> julian >> >> ----- Original Message ----- >> >> From: synthosphere >> >> To: analogue_systems@yahoogroups.com >> >> Sent: Thursday, February 12, 2004 5:35 PM >> >> Subject: [analogue_systems] Power supply for a few AS modules >> >> >> >> >> >> Hi friends, >> >> >> >> I'm new to this group and to the world of modular synths.
