requirements of all your modules, then choose a supply that provides
more current than that. Considering inrush current, and that

modules, this is a case where more is more.
to check the archives. Using speakons offers several advantages --
excellent strain relief, designed to carry large voltages and
currents (250V/30A), work well with large gauge wires (up to 10AWG),
and are available in numerous mounting configurations (cable,
chassis, pcb, screw terminal, etc.)
other gear, it is best to keep the ground paths as equal as possible.
I would recommend using one large power supply, using DC cables of
equal length, and using a star configuration as much as possible. If
you use two power supplies, you might want to connect their grounds
together.
>What power supply to use?I would recommend a Power One supply. You need to add up the current
requirements of all your modules, then choose a supply that provides
more current than that. Considering inrush current, and that
manufacturers might underestimate the current consumption of their
modules, this is a case where more is more.
>The best way to connected the cabinets power-wise? 4 connector Neutrik?Larry and I had discussed using 4-connector Neutriks. You might want
to check the archives. Using speakons offers several advantages --
excellent strain relief, designed to carry large voltages and
currents (250V/30A), work well with large gauge wires (up to 10AWG),
and are available in numerous mounting configurations (cable,
chassis, pcb, screw terminal, etc.)
>And and any other useful information you may have discovered.Although I haven't had any ground issues interconnecting my MOTM with
other gear, it is best to keep the ground paths as equal as possible.
I would recommend using one large power supply, using DC cables of
equal length, and using a star configuration as much as possible. If
you use two power supplies, you might want to connect their grounds
