MOTM

A barrier strip is black hunk of plastic with screw terminals inset in
between ridges that isolate one screw terminal from the next.  There's
one on each end of the 960.  You don't want to connect power to this
board using the MTA connectors as they use a lighter gauge wire and
could get too hot and compromise your signal quality.  Stranded 14 gauge
wire is recommended.  You can find this at Radio Shack or auto supply
stores.  A star configuration is recommended, meaning that power
branches out from the power supply to the power PCBs, then branches from
the power PCBs to your modules.  This is instead of a series connection,
from one power PCB to the next.  Now that I think about it, you need an
extra barrier strip anyway to make this star connection from your power
supply to multiple power PCBs.  You can find them at Radio Shack.

I have the 960. Excuse my ignorance, but what is a barrier strip? What
gauge wire should I use? Will it distribute the power if I just use an
extra mta connector and attach the power one from the power supply to
the 960? Thanks for the help. Detailed ignorant friendly responces
appreciated (-:
Thanks
matt

Which one, 900-PCB or 960?  Assuming you're adding to a MOTM-900, the
easiest way to connect the 900-PCB is to add a barrier strip  inside of
your cabinet, and tie off the the power supply and two power PCBs there.
The 960 has built in barrier strips so you can just use that.

Just got my power distribution board. How do I hook this thing up? Paul
is probably gone to namm so anyone else?
Thanks
