RE: [motm] Portable power

2008-08-20 by John L Rice

The smallest PowerOne that 'should' work is only about $50 (US$) as long as
you need less than 400mA:

Also, some very helpful related info here from Richard Brewster:

Best of luck!

PS - PLEASE understand, fear and respect AC current before attempting DIY
power projects! Death awaits just a tiny stupid mistake away. (I've been
REALLY lucky at least three times in my life . . . and I'm not generally
stupid . . . unless it comes to credit cards . . .and especially women! ;-)

Or there's always the extreme diy approach -

This with one of Paul's distribution boards and you'd be in business. 
Personally I'd rather be using Paul's 900 hardware than this however.

Cheap, 240ma, +/-15v - I'd just have to deal with the 5-pin DIN in some
way....

What about the Dotcom QPS2:

could easily switch out the power connectors with the MTA 156 ...

a) I have never seen a +-15V regulated wall wart. I have seen +-12V (they 
use a 5-pin DIN, a la MIDI). But this will not work with MOTM.

b) your best bet is to get a 5U tall case, put a MOTM-900 in there, and 
leave it. Then, when needed, remove modules from
the studio and place in there.
