Single powering options for multiple devices

Awesome. I plan on rocking the ST/DT/DN with it, so if it all works, I may have to suck it up and get that shit.

Can anyone with any better knowledge than I tell me if this may work to power a ST/DT/DN combo?

EDIT: After looking into it a bit more, I ordered one. I can always return it. I’m hoping it can power my 3 Elektron boxes and MOTO Ultralite MK5 from the outlets, and then my Micromonsta and iPad from the USB. I may try and power one or more of the Elektron or MOTU devices via Birdcord, too.

So this guy doesn’t work great. The usb pd ports don’t output 12v and the USB A ports aren’t isolated for ground loop/hum. Returned it.

Hoping @tomasu has better luck!

Your item departed our USPS facility in QUEENS NY DISTRIBUTION CENTER on October 12, 2022 at 8:33 am. The item is currently in transit to the destination.

Fingers crossed the Birdcords come today or tomorrow!

Excellent!

Welp, everything works exactly how I had hoped. Dieter from Songbird FX even hooked me up with an adapter currently not available in his web shop that fit the Toraiz.

All four devices are powered via Birdcord / Satechi PD GaN charger.

Oh that’s amazing. No ground loop issues? Which USB C cables are you using to go into the Birdcords?

Using these and these. No noticeable ground loop noise. Next steps are to properly seat everything in the case and then rewire. Will maybe post some samples after everything is finished.

Dope. Ok. I could do 3 Digis and my iPad with this one, then get a smaller one for my MM2 and MOTO ULMK5. Sweet!

So quick update - get the rig seated into the case. Currently routing the DT into the DN and with that output running into the Toraiz, which in turn acts as a mixer.

With all volumes set to 12:00, this is what the noise floor looks like (stereo quarter inch into Apogee Duet 2):

Similarly, with all volumes cranked to the max:

So, I’m no audio engineer, but there’s doesn’t seem to be any glaring ground loop issues.

Amazing! I just ordered this one. I emailed UGreen to ask if their ports would support 12v and were isolated and they said yes to both.

€200?!?

$159 on sale with 5% back in Amazon credit. 1 power hub for everything!

It’ll power 3 Digi boxes, 1 soundcard, micromonsta2, and iPad (plus controllers).

Seriously tempted.

I see it this way. I’m building a custom box that houses the 3 Digi boxes, 2 Faderfox controllers, the Micromonsta2, and the MOTU Ultra-lite MK5, plus an iPad Air 4. I can have tons of power supplies and wallwarts weighing down the box, or splurge on one of these and power everything from one place. Ya dig?

It’s out of stock already?
Also, what cables do you use to Go from USB A / USB C to your machines?

I dunno about if it’s in stock or not. I’ll be looking into Birdcords or other USB-C to DC cables.

Update: The UGreen one introduced noise into my gear. Returned.

Hey power supply fans!

Does this look like it would work for multiple Elektron boxes?! It seems suspiciously cheap but I think it would power 2 or 3 boxes if I’m understanding the specs correctly (which I might not be).

I’m trying to power my Digitakt and Syntakt and maybe a third box if I pick up one up soon-ish. Payday is coming and I’ve sold a load of neglected software licenses so I have some “I can probably justify this” cash.

EDIT - hold on, it’s the wrong size barrel adapter. Balls.

No. I tried the adaptors with more outputs. While they provide power, turning any device on while others are on restarts any other device on the chain. It’s weird.

Here’s my one brick wonder!
