Each eurorack module comes with technical specifications and its power consumption
(what current flows through the module from each +12V and – 12V rail when the module
operates) is among those. When planning and building your eurorack system, you need to
consider the total power consumption of all modules in your system. The best way to
plan out your modular system is to design your virtual eurorack case on the “Facebook”
of modular synthesizers Navigate to the RACKS menu, choose
the size of your eurorack case, populate it with modules and you will see the total power
consumption of this potential eurorack system. Our mki x es.edu PSU has enough output
power (1,25A on each rail) to power up to 4 complete mki x es.edu systems.
The mki x es.edu eurorack case/PSU DIY kit contains:
One row 84HP eurorack case,
AC/DC wall wart adapter with 12VDC output, max current is 1A,
DC socket and power switch,
mki x es.edu PSU PCB,
DC/DC converter,
14 2x8 pin sockets for eurorack power cables,
All components to complete the PSU.
Please note that in order to reduce the overall cost of the case we do not use eurorack
rails with threaded inserts or sliding nuts, instead, there are pre-drilled, threaded holes to
accommodate the modules of the mki x es.edu system in a specific order. If you intend
to use this case for other modules than mki x es.edu series, make sure you have a 2.5mm
drill and a tap for an M3 screw thread, so you can drill threaded holes for modules of vari-
ous widths.
Now, let’s take a look at the mki x es.edu PSU schematics!
