Description

USB-C PWR inlet – Studio quality power with anywhere versatility.

In today’s world of portable studios and streamlined setups, power solutions need to be as adaptable and efficient as your creative process. Introducing the USB-C PWR inlet from Konstant Lab, a meticulously engineered power panel designed to seamlessly integrate modern USB-C Power Delivery into the realm of Eurorack modular synthesis. This innovative panel not only simplifies your power setup but also empowers you to create music anywhere – in your studio or on the go with a suitable power bank – untethered from traditional power constraints. Whether you’re performing live, composing on the go, or simply optimizing your studio space, the USB-C PWR inlet offers a practical solution for powering your modular synthesizer wherever inspiration strikes.

Features:

• USB-C Power Delivery Input: Embrace the convenience of universal USB-C Power Delivery. This panel is powered via a USB-C connector and is designed to support the USB Power Delivery protocol, ensuring efficient and reliable power transfer. To operate correctly, it requires a USB-C power bank or charger that supports 20V output.
• 20V Output for Synthesizer Power Supplies: The panel expertly generates a stable 20V voltage, making it fully compatible with Konstant Lab power supplies and other Eurorack power solutions designed to accept a 20V input voltage. It boasts a maximum power output of 100W (20V / 5A), providing ample power for even larger modular systems.
• 5V USB-A Output Port: A front-panel integrated 5V USB-A connector allows for convenient powering of external USB devices. This is perfect for sequencers, MIDI controllers, USB lamps or other USB-powered accessories directly from your modular system.
• Intuitive LED Status Indication: Stay informed at a glance with four integrated LEDs that provide clear visual feedback on your power system’s status:
  • Input LED: Illuminates to indicate a successful USB-C connection and communication with the connected charger. This confirms that your USB-C power source is properly connected and providing power to the panel.
  • +12V, -12V, +5V LEDs: These three LEDs are dedicated to monitoring the critical power rails for your modular synthesizer. When all three LEDs are lit, it signifies that all voltage rails are functioning correctly. Should any voltage rail drop by more than 1V, the corresponding LED will switch off, immediately alerting you to a potential issue.
• Integrated ON/OFF Switch: A conveniently placed ON/OFF switch on the panel provides straightforward control over your entire modular system’s power, allowing for quick and easy system activation and shutdown.
• Compact Form Factor & Easy Installation: The panel’s compact dimensions (70x40mm) are designed to save valuable space within your modular case. Output connections are made via two 4.8mm Faston connectors. For user convenience, cables with pre-crimped Faston connectors are included in the package, ensuring a hassle-free connection to your power supply.
• Voltage Monitoring Feedback: For precise voltage indication of the +12V, -12V, and +5V rails, the output of your power supply is fed back into the panel using a standard 16-16 pin ribbon cable. This cable is included in the package, completing the feedback loop for accurate voltage monitoring.
• Broad Compatibility: While designed to perfectly complement Konstant Lab power supplies, the USB-C PWR inlet is also compatible with a wide range of other Eurorack power supplies that support a 20V input voltage, offering versatility for various modular setups.

Package Contents: USB-C PWR Panel, cables with Faston connectors, 16-16 pin ribbon cable, screws.

Disclaimer: Please note that an external USB-C charger or power bank is not included in the basic package. USB-C charger is sold as option or separately. The USB-C charger or power bank used must support the USB Power Delivery protocol with a 20V output. It must also have sufficient power output to adequately power your synthesizer, depending on its size and module consumption. We recommend to use Anker 737 GaNPrime 140W PD 24000mAh Power Bank with our USB-C PWR inlet.
