Whoa - KPP power usage

amosmax · September 24, 2024 at 11:52 PM New

Hey all,

just got my new KPP today. On the back of the unit it shows 9-12V / 24W (!). That's 2 Amps peak at 12V (2.6 Amps at 9V). The included power supply is spec'd at 9V / 22.5W so that matches.
Is the KPP really that power hungry? I don't know of any pedalboard power supply that will do more than 500mA on any voltage.

How are you guys powering your KPPs on your boards?

Thx in advance!

Cioks make a 9/12 volt unit that supports 2 amp at 12 volt.

CIOKS CRUX - High-Current Power Supply with Isolated Outputs

You need a 24 volt power supply to drive it. Simply using the power supply that comes with the player would be more compact.

I'm using this:

which is perfect if your doing a board. It will run all day without over-heating or under-powering.
