Any visual examples of how this is done?
Also taking direction from the previous thread, I found these similar (if not identical) options:
Way cheaper obviously. Anyone had any luck with this route?
No sorry, I just tested to see if it worked once, then I ended up using the cioks for pedals and its kind of packed into a rack and not easily accessible
But I just followed this video
I’m powering my Octatrack and Digitone with one usb multi charger with 20w per usb port, and two Rip Cords (or Bird cords). Don’t know if that’s enough for the analogs though
So not an expert at all,
but you may not have luck with Cioks on A4 and AR
The parallel adapter @brucegill linked is the right one, but I think that will only get you around 1A
And it looks like they need more like 1.7A based on this other thread
I bet there are quite a few of us with 2 or 3 Electron boxes on the desktop that would like a 1 mains PSU with 3 or 4 sockets for Elektron power out option…maybe Elektron will spot the gap in the market!
Indeed.
Or maybe some other manufacturer will! Like a brand that specializes in power supplies, like Anker or something.
I would love to consolidate power… I’ve managed to do it for all USB-powered stuff, but for everything else I actually have a power conditioner sitting right on my desk for things that I swap out. Power is definitely a pain!
I bought a 7.5 amp 12 volt power brick that was left over from some guys security camera system, the end is 5.5x2.1 so it fits a guitar pedal daisy chain but from the chain to Elektron devices 2.5 adapter is required. Elektron device psu is rated at 2 amps (2000mah) but I’ve never measured the actual draw. 7.5 amps is plenty for 3 boxes in practice, in theory possibly 4.

center positive.
I think I paid something ridiculous like $7 for it plus shipping, and I’m pretty sure he has more. He sent it out fast and had good communication. If you want the link to where I bought it, shoot me a message.
Yup. Just checked. That’s a shame!
I’ve decided just to velcro the central bricks of the three power supplies together and use these 12" IEC cords to connect them to a rackmount Furman above the desk. Less than ideal but it will save a lot of space versus extra wrapped-up cables at least.
you could do that, no reason not to.

edit: ah, already mentioned
Always looking for elegant, minimal design solutions… but sometime you have to compromise.
Yeah, fuhrman is solid no question. If you decide you want simple and cheap let me know and I’ll find the link where I bought this power supply from.
It was more recent, yes, but was more concerned with Digi-format boxes which draw less power.
It’s funny tho (now that I’ve scrolled) that the second-to-last post was the same ghetto-tech solution I’m going with… except mine will have shorter IEC cables (and a Furman.)
It IS rather crazy that there’s not a simple solution for this yet… like what the Conductive Labs MRCC is for midi, but for power distribution of studio setups.
There’s this, but it’s pricey, out of stock, UK based and not sure if it’s enough juice? They make amazing pedals for guitar. All valve based so rather power greedy
Nice guys and sure they would help on email etc.
Edit. Sorry! No, it’s only 1250ma

It is indeed pricey, but looks like it could do the job? I like the weight on Jupiter spec too
In deed and in title…
