We are very happy to announce the anticipated release of the Merason pow1 Linear Power Supply for the Frerot DAC. The pow1 generates -12V and +12V, both regulated in 2 ways, the second regulation being particularly low-noise and discrete, as well as +8.3V. Other features are the rectifier diodes built into the pow1 for the two 12V. These are special types which, in contrast to usual rectifier diodes, do not produce any spikes and thus no interference in the supply. The reference voltage for the regulation of the two 12V is generated by a precise integrated circuit instead of using the usual Zener diodes. This gives the advantage of a supply that is exactly matched to the needs of the frérot: The output stage of the frérot is powered directly by the pow1. In addition, the pow1 is robust and elaborately constructed with a toroidal transformer manufactured according to Merason’s specifications, has a metal housing with a shielding cover and is swiss made.
The Pow 1 will be available starting in May at a price of $900.
