E-MU Emax II high-grade PSU

High-Grade Power Supply for the E-mu Systems Emax I & II - Rack and Keyboard Versions

Emax units are prone to SMPS failures. Of the seven units I've worked on, five had dead power supplies. That called for a new design :) This PSU is live-ready and built to withstand warzone conditions, while maintaining the highest standards of audio performance.

Topology

This PSU uses two oversized, Class B EMI-filtered SMPS units, designed to minimize mains pollution and heat from the ground up. I've incorporated a primary-side pi-filter to suppress mains interferences right at the input. The output rails undergo multistage conditioning through massive differential pi-filters and common-mode filtering, followed by additional linear regulators for even tighter voltage regulation. The entire PCB features separate ground planes for improved noise management. The capacitors are rated for 5,000+ hours of operation, while the SMPS units themselves are specified for a service life of 100,000+ hours.

This PSU barely heats, and there's absolutely no background hiss under proper operating conditions.

Information

The unit is fully plug-and-play: simply reuse the original Emax AC input socket, mounting screws, and connectors. No modifications to the sampler are required. Feel free to get in touch for further information, pricing and billing details, or custom requests :)
