Using UltraCap™ LPS-1.2 in a quality music reproduction system will yield surprisingly audible improvements
LPS-1.2 is a single output, 1.1 amp linear power supply intended for powering a wide range of audio and computer devices: UpTone's own ISO REGEN, Sonore microRendu and ultraRendu, SOtM streamers, small DACs, headphone amps, USB>S/PDIF converters, specialty computer USB cards, SSDs, fibre media converters, PS Audio LANRover, SqueezeBox Touch, etc
A switch on the back of the LPS-1.2 allows for setting of the output voltage to 5V, 7V, 9V, or 12 volts. Maximum output current at all voltages is still 1.1A
Input and output jacks are standard 5.5mm x 2.1mm size DC barrel connectors.
The output voltage regulators have been changed to the truly extraordinary (0.8µV/RMS!) Linear Technology LT3045 paralleled in a configuration that further lowers output impedance. (Down into the 3mOhm (10Hz-100KHz) range now!)
A power on/off switch has been added so you can turn off the supply without having to unplug any cables
The LPS-1.2 runs off chargers from 7-24V. The unit is flexible with regards to the voltage of the charger but the charger voltage X its current capability MUST = 36W, or greater. (So 7.5V/4.8A, 9V/4A, 12V/3A, 18V/2A, 24V/1.5A are all acceptable)
UltraCap LPS-1.2 has a 3-pin port (0.1” header pin) for measuring output voltage and device current draw. This port provides a measurement of current with a voltage of 1 Volt per 1 Amp. So if you measure 0.2V (across the pins labeled G, for ground and I, for current), the device attached to the output is drawing 0.2A (200mA). The pin labeled V always outputs the voltage that the LPS-1.2 is set to. Included - One 70cm, DC cable with 5.5mm x 2.1mm plugs at both ends (correct for REGENs, the Sonore Rendu, UltraRendu and many other popular devices)(2.1mm to 2.5mm adapter available)
- A 7.5V/4.8A/36W world-voltage-compatible groundshunt SMPS for energising the UltraCap™ LPS-1.2. Optional local AC IEC 'kettle' power cable
Customer comments:''Hooking up the LPS-1.2 power supply to our USB Regen resulted in a MAJOR AUDITORY BREAKTHROUGH. Also our Mac mini sounds significantly better when powering the USB Regen from the LPS-1.2!''''Regarding the LPS-1.2 I can only say that it has lifted my entire setup to a new level. I now have a much better instrument and voice separation, blacker background, and a wider & deeper soundstage. It has worked wonders with my SoTM SMS-200''
