Elektron Powerhub

I couldn’t find a dedicated thread for the Powerhub, so I thought it deserved one.

I’m quite looking forward to it, especially since I don’t have much space or many available power outlets. From what Elektron has shown so far, it looks like a very useful way to power several boxes from one unit.

There still doesn’t seem to be an announced release date. Since the Outbox8 has only just been released, I imagine Elektron may wait a little before launching another new accessory.

on my radar as I have several Elektron boxes and this would feed nicely into a rack mounted power conditioner.

If this thing can really power all my USB-powered gear (there is so much of this stuff by now) without any USB ground noises. I’ll by one for every rig I own

They say on the Andertons video that the Powerhub will be around €89 so that feels very reasonable. I will definitely get one. Will put it on my rig and then whenever I want to just take out one of my boxes somewhere else I have spare power adaptors for that… Just perfect. :smiley:

Deleted… still wish it was self powered

I hope they will announce it this week

I need it more than Outbox 8 to be honest

Would probably be in as long as BlueBox could be powered without any hum and cable options for MnM and MD will be provided.

Plugged in 4 of 6 devices, paused to wipe away sentimental tears and comment on this thread. Will these faithful power warts spend an eternity in a dark box or will I honor their service by installing a museum shelf somewhere just out of reach? Will I remember life before PowerHub?

Save them to show the grandkids…or hold out for a future episode of American Pickers.

That’s much cheaper than I expected. I wonder, can they afford to make the ports isolated at that price? I really hope so, because my power strip is full and I’d love to simplify things.

Non-isolated would steal holiday joy :frowning:

Can’t wait for this to come out so I can put an order in.

Unfortunately, still no news. I’m going to wait so I can have a nice setup with fewer cables :slight_smile:

I’d be surprised at that price since myvolts has a nearly identical box coming for €299 The Silent Alchemist - power hub for musicians.

21

Same, I was expecting it to be released together with the Outbox 8 but nothing so far, I just want to get rid of all these PSUs and power cables, much easier to carry a single box to gigs (been doing it with a USB-C charger with 4 ports + 4 USB-C → barrel jacks converter but it’s a bit sketchy quality).

22

At 89€ I doubt the outputs will be isolated like the silent alchemist…
Also the silent alchemist supports USB-C Power Delivery, where the device can ask for a voltage greater than 5V (up to 48 if I’m not mistaken)

23

That price always seemed unrealistic. I’d expect cost on par with cioks.

If you check the video at 10:22 posted in the first post Elektron says around €89 so i would expect that to be accurate :smiling_face:
