Truetone 1 Spot Pro XP8-PS 8-Output Low-Profile Isolated Power Supply

New

The 1 Spot Pro XP8-PS is just like the XP5-PS, except it has 8 outputs instead of 5. Each output provides 9Vdc of studio-clean power and can handle at least 500mA of current draw per output. Measuring 133x88x30mm (5.24x3.46x1.18”) and weighing only 459 grams (16.19oz or about 1lb), it can be easily attached to a pedalboard using only Vel-Cro. Because of its low profile, the XP8 can be mounted under most pedalboards, or be used as a pedal riser on top of a board. With 2 linked input jacks, you can power a second XP8 or XP5 by simply connecting a DC cable..

1 SPOT Technology... what does that mean and why should you care? Technically, it’s switching power supply technology, which is very different than what anyone has ever put inside a power brick. Normally, you would find just a big transformer and a handful of small electronic components inside a power brick... old tech that hasn’t changed in decades and has a lot of limitations. They took the same triple filtered switching power supply technology found in their famous 1 SPOT and scaled it up to make the 1 SPOT Pro models. With much more space to work with, they were able to completely eliminate noise, provide total electrical isolation between outputs, create multiple voltages, and still give you the ability to use it anywhere in the world.

A major benefit of using a switching power supply is that it can handle far more current (power being pulled out of it) than any transformer-based power supply. Although they had to put power rating labels on each output to satisfy certification agencies (yes, they actually certified these, unlike many companies), the outputs can generally handle far more than the label shows. For example, you can connect a 300mA pedal to a 200mA output, without causing any problems. With a transformer-based power supply, you can’t get away with that. The important thing is to not exceed the total of all the labels. With a CS7 (for example), the output labels add up to 1900mA total. That means the total current draw of all your pedals should be less than 1900mA.

Features:

• 8 Isolated Outputs
• The Ultimate Compact Isolated Power Supply
• Links To Additional Truetone Expansion Boxes
• 9Vdc 500mA Per Output
• Includes DC Cables For Your Pedals
• Powered By CS11 Or The Included Adapter
• 1 SPOT PRO: The Original Studio-Grade Power For Your Pedals

Dimensions

• 133 x 88 x 30mm (5.24 x 3.46 x 1.18”); 488 grams (1.075 lbs.) - weight and dimensions of power supply only, not including cables or packaging.

Input Voltage

• 12Vdc 4.0A. External power supply (included with XP8-PS) must have a 5.5x2.1mm barrel plug, center pin positive. The XP8 is also designed to be powered directly from the output on the back of a 1 SPOT Pro CS11, provided the total current load connected to the XP8 is 2.5A or less.

Cables

The 1 SPOT Pro XP8-PS includes an assortment of DC cables. The cables are of various lengths, color-coded for easy cable management and with right angle plugs on the pedal end.

• Power cables (all are center pin negative polarity):
• (2) DC26 (5.5x2.1mm barrel plugs; 26” (660mm) – Purple
• (4) DC18 (5.5x2.1mm barrel plugs; 18” (457mm) – White
• (2) DC12 (5.5x2.1mm barrel plugs; 12” (305mm) – Yellow

 
Available Output Voltages

• All outputs are 9Vdc, 500mA.
