The technology used to achieve these mentioned benefits is known as
switching power. In audio, the word "switching" means electrical noise,
and noise is not something you want to have powering your audio gear.
Therefore adopting this power technique for use in audio requires special care.
The special care is taken by the DC1200 components used on our Powered
Bus Board, this is a switching-type regulator that takes external power
either linear or switching and transforms it into audio-grade switching
power, strong and clean. These DC1200 regulators have a wide input range
from 9V-16V with a constant +12V and -12V output.
This manual will guide you through the steps necessary for you to design the
power system that meets your needs; taking into consideration the power
consumption used by today’s modern modules, mechanical assembly, cost,
and ZEUS systems built with the intent of power/size expansion over time.
