Cooling fan for the command station power supply (PSU)

2007-06-21 by Blaz

I've solved the overheating problem with my MP7: I installed two small
fans on the side of the powersupply (glued them on), so they blow air
through the PSU and outside the holes on the right side (I don't have
the plastic sides on). I soldered them to the power connector (+5V & GND).

Now the temperature at the bottom of the MP7 is about 20 degrees lower :)

It's funny Emu didn't include a fan in the first place, since the
command stations are about on the level of their Ultra samplers - fast
CPU, 128 polyphony, up to 128 Mb of sounds, 2 FX units, PLUS a
sequencer...
