Choosing The Right Combination Of Powered Bus
Boards And Passive Bus Boards For Your Case.
The ZEUS Series Bus Boards come in two varieties: Powered and Passive.
Powered: This board is the heart of any system. It houses the power input
terminals, dual Tiptop Audio’s DC1200 switching regulators capable of
producing up to 1200mA for each of the +12V and -12V rails, 5V regulator
capable of producing up to 500mA, 13 Eurorack module connectors, 5
Analogue Systems-style module connectors, along with twin sets of both flat
terminal and screw terminal power distribution channels. It also has the ability
to pass the power along to more powered boards for larger systems which will
be covered later on in this manual.
Passive: This board houses 14 Eurorack and 5 Analogue Systems-style
module connectors and a 5V regulator capable of providing 500mA. It has
one screw terminal connection point and two sets of flat terminal connection
points with the ability to pass power along to a second passive board if needed
using the second set of flat terminals.
Next we have listed examples of how one can choose what boards their
system might possibly need. These are merely examples and we strongly
urge you to measure your system’s total current draw to ensure you
have the proper amount of power delivered to your case.
