I’m trying out this cheap 12v 8,33A switching power supply.
It’s running the QC & a midi switcher at the moment.
I’ll leave it running for the day but so far everything’s running smoothly.
It has a higher switching noise (around 100ma in the Mhz region) than the OEM power supply, but it’s dead quiet on the QC plugged into my mixer.
A lot cheaper than the pedal oriented power supplies and could be an alternative to MyVolts…
Edit : it’s been a little bit more than 7 hours straight and the power supply is not heating at all and is still quiet as a mouse…
Ready for road testing…
Edit 2 :
Here are some pigtail (barrel jacks) I use for connection to the QC
From memory (I am away from home at the moment) the colors are inverted for the QC (Red is inner core and black is outer ring). Please check with a multimeter before plugging in !
Thx, helpful, but I was referring to if you had links for what you purchased to do the wiring for the AC plug to the power supply, and the cable from the power supply to the Quad Cortex.
AC plug link? Guess any Amazon offering of a grounded plug with the correct adaptor plug for the user’s country and bare wires on the other end will work. Cable length may vary depending on usage.
Seems like this would be best suited to pedal board mounting. Also, between the cost of the cables and power supply you might be creeping up on, or past, the cost of one of the low-cost pre-wired options. Strong recommendation regarding low noise and low heat though.
