« It meets my needs perfectly! »
Published on 04/05/14 at 09:15Linear power supply for effects pedals German mark. The country of manufacture is strangely not mentioned.
Its resemblance to Harley Benton PowerPlant Junior and T-Rex Fuel Tank Junior (Made in China) is rather disturbing both in electrical characteristics that cords supplied or part of screen printing. But back to Palmer.
Metal housing with 4 feet of foam.
Rear panel:
- 1 stand C14 IEC connector for AC power.
- 1 switch for power on / off.
- 1 voltage selector switch for a power supply 230 V 50 Hz supply to a 115 V 60 Hz (North and Central America).
Front:
- 5 output connectors insulated 2.1 x 5.5 in 9 VDC 120 mA negative center.
- 1 yellow LED Power.
Accessories:
- 5 strands of 30 cm, 5 strands of 60 cm, 1 garland of 1.15 m to 5 outputs, 1 yellow cord Y 50 cm to double the current (240 mA) and 1 power cable (EEC 7/7 -> IEC C13) of 1.65 m.
- 1 instruction manual in 4 languages including French (see "Other Files" in the "Media" tab).
Dimensions: 105 x 105 x 40 mm, weight: 0.96 kg
Palmer warranty: 5 years.
The circuit is simple, clean and easy to repair (see photo in the "Media" tab): 1 switch -> 1 fuse 5.2 x 20 mm 500 mA -> 1 transformer 230 V/12 V 5 outputs -> 5 diode bridges -> 5 smoothing capacitors -> 5 9 V voltage regulators with associated capacitors.
CAUTION: The yellow Y cable is wired in parallel, so it can double the intensity, a pedal for a little greedy, but in any case the voltage as can be read from here and there: NO POWER 18 V POSSIBLE WITH THIS CORD (see photo of the measure or record in the "Media" tab).
This supply fully meets my needs: isolated outputs for quiet operation (no buzz), integrated transformer housing (this is more convenient), detachable power cable (it's also practical), switch-up on / off (as it is more convenient) and can supply 115 V 60 Hz for the day when I will go on a world tour HAHAHAHAHA!
The quality / price is right knowing that the power of the same class do not offer all isolated outputs, not all switch and detachable power cable, or even sometimes have a switching power supply (such mobile phone charger) on the power cable, which is still strange for power.
I remake this choice without hesitation.
