Tiptop Powered Bus - Manual (Page 3)

TM
The ZEUS power system for modular synthesizers was developed to bring the
advantages of today’s modern power technology to the modular synthesizer.
The ZEUS power system, in the most basic setup, will be comprised of an
external wall or brick-style laptop power supply and a Zeus Powered Bus
Board.
The safe and easy installation of ZEUS systems is its first and most obvious
advantage. It is now possible to power a complete modular system from an
external brick style universal power supply, the same power supply used to
charge laptop computers. These external power supplies are extremely
powerful and paired with the right combination of Powered Bus Boards, even
very large systems can be run from a single laptop power supply at high
audio quality power.
Using an external power supply ensures your system stays light-weight and
clear of electromagnetic emissions produced by transformers. In essence your
case stays cool, safe, and most importantly, removes any
need to deal with hot AC main lines while installing the
system.
