Truetone 1 Spot Pro XP5-PS 5-Output Low-Profile Isolated Power Supply

The XP5-PS is a package containing the 1 Spot Pro XP5, along with a 12Vdc 2.5A adapter which allows you to power the XP5 without having a CS11.  The adapter comes with an array of international plugs, so you can take it with your pedalboard anywhere in the world.  Some musicians may even choose to get one of these, plus another XP5, to distribute their power around the pedalboard and have the dual XP5’s acting as two pedal risers. 1 SPOT Technology... what does that mean and why should I care? Technically, it’s switching power supply technology, which is very different than what anyone has ever put inside a power brick. Normally, you would find just a big transformer and a handful of small electronic components inside a power brick… old tech that hasn’t changed in decades and has a lot of limitations. They took the same triple filtered switching power supply technology found in our famous 1 SPOT and scaled it up to make the 1 SPOT Pro models. With much more space to work with, they were able to completely eliminate noise, provide total electrical isolation between outputs, create multiple voltages, and still give you the ability to use it anywhere in the world. A major benefit of using a switching power supply is that it can handle far more current (power being pulled out of it) than any transformer-based power supply. Although they had to put power rating labels on each output to satisfy certification agencies (yes, they actually certified these, unlike many companies), the outputs can generally handle far more than the label shows. For example, you can connect a 300mA pedal to a 200mA output, without causing any problems. With a transformer-based power supply, you can’t get away with that. The important thing is to not exceed the total of all the labels. With a CS7 (for example), the output labels add up to 1900mA total. That means the total current draw of all your pedals should be less than 1900mA.
