External Power Supplies
The RS 1 Remote Power Supply is a general purpose AC to AC adapter designed to power any Rane products equipped with red AC remote power mod jacks. And since the output voltage is classified as safety extra-low voltage, then all units powered from this unit are exempt from safety agency approval requirements.
The 230VAC version of the RS 1 comes from the factory with an integral mounted Eurocord.
The table-top design of the RS 1, along with a 2 meter line cord and the 2 meter output cable, allows it to be installed in any convenient location away from the powered unit and the AC outlet strip. Convenient mounting tabs are integral to the rugged high impact housing.
Reasons To Use External Power Supplies:
- Better Audio Performance. Removes the hum source, i.e. the AC line transformer and all
- primary circuits resulting in quieter noise performance, without the usual (and annoying) 50/60 Hz and 150/180 Hz hum components.
- Increased Safety. Remove the AC primary circuits from the unit and you remove the shock
- hazard. Remove the shock hazard and you remove the requirement for safety agency compliance. All RAP units qualify worldwide as Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV) units, i.e., no shock hazard.
- Agency Compliance Exemption. By using remote power supplies and sizing them correctly all products powered by them become as exempt as possible from safety agency compliance - only the power supply itself must comply with each safety agency.
- Quicker Product Development Time. Eliminates the (considerable) time required to develop a separate power supply for each new product. Getting a transformer correctly sized and located is much more of an art form than a science. Each solution is unique and requires much trial and error - a very time consuming task. Making a product work is much easier than making it work without hum in the noise floor. A tedious thankless job. Rane could not have developed as many products as it has without external power supplies.
- Faster Product Manufacturing. Eliminates the time spent on issuing, prepping, installing and testing transformers, line cords, grommets, brackets, hardware, fuses, holders, insulation, hum barriers and shields for each product built. Rane could not build all the units it does each month without external supplies.
Reasons Not To Use External Power Supplies:
- Customers hate them. Realize the life-long benefits instead of apologizing for the one-time inconvenience.
- Salespersons hate them. See the above.
