Dimensions & Enclosure: Full desktop/rack chassis with pre-printed front and rear panels
Key Features
Massive Current Reserves & Scalability: Designed with heavy-duty LM350 regulators capable of delivering up to 3 A per rail
Stock Configuration: Includes 1.6 A rail fuses to strictly match the VPR standard (160 mA per slot for 11 modules)
High-Current Expansion: By swapping to higher-value fuses and ensuring proper thermal management/airflow, the PSU can comfortably drive up to 20 modules across daisy-chained chassis
Ultra-Clean Signal Path: 20,000 µF filtering combined with a custom toroidal transformer eliminates power supply ripple and mains hum
Passive Thermal Management: Voltage regulators are thermal-coupled directly to the metal enclosure for quiet, fanless passive cooling
Comprehensive Rail Protection & Monitoring: Features individual fuse sockets per rail, real-time LED status indicators, and dedicated PE/GND safety routing
Global Compatibility: Integrated 115 V/230 V mains switch for worldwide operation
Available Options/Included in Kit
Full DIY Kit: Includes 1U/desktop metal chassis (pre-printed panels), custom toroidal transformer, main regulation PCB, 20,000 µF cap bank, LM350/TL783 regulators, 1.6 A stock fuses, IEC socket, 115 V/230 V selector switch, 5-pin XLR connector, and all mounting hardware.
(Note: Requires soldering and AC mains wiring assembly skills. Step-by-step assembly guides available in our Build Manuals section.)
