2.0 PS 230
2.1 Overview
The PS 230 is a 3-rail linear power supply capable of powering two LCPQ 4040 units,
housed in a robust enclosure.
The unit provides ±28V DC for the audio circuit and +24V DC for the relay bypass
system and the bypass indicator (LED). In order to cut the cost (and for the shake of
simplicity), a lot of audio euquipment use a common power rail for the audio circuit
and for other functions such as relays, LEDs, lamps, etc. However, it is a better
practice to use a dedicated power rail for all non-audio circuits. Therefore, the PS 230
has an addi24V DC rail, which ensures that no unwanted noise (caused by the
relays and the bypass indicator) is added to the audio signal.
The PS 230 can be switched for 115V AC or 230V AC operation and the mains fuse
is accessible to the user from the rear side of the unit (in the IEC inlet).
