Can anyone confirm if using the Rytm/A4 PSU-3 (12v/2.5A/30W) on the Digitone work safely (the Digitone PSU3-B is 12v/2000A/24W).
From my basic understanding I believe that it would be safe as the digitone won’t draw more power than needed and still be on 12V, but I’d rather be better safe than sorry.
Anybody doing this?
I do this all the time. No issues.
Awesome, thanks for confirming!
on the long term i wouldn’t
Why so?
No reason not to. As you rightly said, the Digitone will draw only what it needs.
Overheating on the digitone ? Elektron could confirm ?
The amperage rating for power supplies is the maximum current that the load can draw - the operating principle is that the load (digitone) is drawing the current, not the power supply that is pushing it. This is a common misconception for people who are not familiar with electrical engineering.
Exactly. It is perfectly safe to use a 2 amp rated power supply for a load that will only draw 1 amp - because it will only draw 1 amp.
That‘s completely unsubstantiated.
