That would take up a good chunk of the case sure, its' competitive on a cost basis. The advantage is regulation I guess.
They're meant for audio so I guess you can use them. Maybe email them and let us know what they have to say?
Options are good to have.

The price is not all that bad? The layout looks funny though, and I hate the fan that's on there...
If this is regulated, does it mean you don't need caps anymore (or just small ones) between smps and the modules? Seems nice for UcD...
There's bigger & smaller amps as well.
The 2400 seems to have 20A in the 60/0/60 version... that's a lot of juice!

Hello all,
From the looks of the picture on the website, it looks that the output LC filter uses a quite small cap. That may not be bad, however, if you add additional caps, you may end up with oscillations as the feedback loop (for the regulation) may be optimized for a certain capacitive load. To keep things stable when more caps are added, you may need to change the feedback loop. Note that each UcD module also has power supply decoupling caps on board which add to the capacitive load. Maybe someone has tried this supply as I have seen this supply mentioned in some of the other threads. Would be interesting to know what peoples experiences are.
Best regards

Hello,
I have ordered some samples of this SMPS. And I can not recommend these in combination with our UcD modules.
Thereby if you see them in real life, the PCB is really HUGE!

Could you make some photo from that SMPS?
From the top, from the bottom, from everywhere🙂

You may buy them for a very resonable price, if you are interested please send me a PM.

Have a look at this thread:

Looks like the Alab designs are just direct copies of the SMPS used by QSC in their amps.

While small caps are one of the advantages of an SMPS they can lead to increased supply pumping with class-d amps if no additional measures against that are taken.

The product of ALAB Pro is not very impressive......
And if I read the other thread whereby it seems to be a copy from QSC, if this true..........
No more comments from my site!

egads - looks like I'll steer clear of the Alabs stuff. Thanks for the warning!
If anybody knows of an SMPS I can use please let me know.
I'm looking to reduce weight for portability.
thanks,

I asked some days ago at coldamp (www.coldamp.com) for their "soon to come" offline SMPS. They told me that it was going to be ready for the 1st quarter of 2006, and gave me some specifications such as power and size, quite small by the way:
About 800W (+/-60V and +/-15V aux) and around 140x170x38mm if I remember ok. I recall that I though it could be very interesting for 1U racks!
Hope this helps,
Best regards
Pierre

Hi Jan-Peter,
I really cannot understand why you don't develop a good smps yourself (i.e. the people of your company). How is it possible that you are able to develop a fine class d amp module, which is used by high quality amp manufacturers (a.o. Hevos bass amplification) and you don't know how to make a matching smps (like Hevos apparently DID manage to do). Sadly, but understandingly, Hevos will not reveal any details on this PSU, but it is a complete mystery why you people have failed to find a solution on this [edit: or maybe didn't even try...].
Otherwise, best regards,
JZ

Hi,
I'd think before making such a cutting post you'd make the effort to be aware of the facts?
Here's a few for you. They are making one, you won't be able to get it.

The coldamp stuff looks nice - also a nice DC-DC solution is on the way, fullrange class-d power in the car, anyone?
