CUSTOM AUDIO JAPAN / AC/DC Station VI

This is a DC9V x 8 output power supply equipped with a digital voltage meter. It uses a linear system that can supply noiseless power. It is also small and lightweight, making it the perfect power supply for compact effect boards.

■ Equipped with a digital voltage meter, the 6th generation ""VI""

Since its development in the 1990s as a custom power supply for rack systems, the CAJ AC/DC Station has continued to evolve, and has been released as the AC/DC Station VI, with new functions and further miniaturization.

Equipped with a digital voltage meter that constantly monitors the supply voltage, the size has been reduced by 8 OUTPUTs. In addition, the output voltage is set to approximately 9.65V, which is close to the initial value of a new 9V battery, to maximize the potential of the effector.

■ Adopts an extremely noiseless ""linear method""

Linear power supplies, which convert AC (alternating current) power generated by a power transformer into DC (direct current), are still mainstream in the world of high-end audio because they provide a stable, clean power supply without pulse noise compared to switching methods, which boast high efficiency, small size, and light weight.

The linear method, which boasts excellent noise resistance, has been consistently adopted in AC/DC Stations.

■What is the current consumption required for an effect board system?
How much current consumption is required to drive an effect?

*Current consumption of main effectors
Analog overdrive/distortion: 4mA to 20mA
Digital chorus/flanger: 20mA to 25mA
Digital delay/reverb: 50mA to 60mA
MIDI compatible digital EQ: 75mA
MIDI compatible multi-function digital effector with memory: 75mA to 200mA (reference value)

For example, when powering an effect board that incorporates analog overdrive, distortion, digital chorus, digital delay, digital reverb, and digital EQ, the total current consumption is about 300mA. The AC/DC Station VI can supply up to 450mA of power, so there is plenty of power to go around.
(※Please note that digital effects may generate noise in effects connected to the same power line.)
