  • The input to the Preamp Power Supply connects directly to the mains, and is compatible with the mains voltages and frequencies used across the world. The Preamp Power Supply is internally fused. In addition to the internal fuse, it is recommended to use a fused IEC power inlet. Doing so reduces the mains wiring to two wires which are trivial to connect.

    In addition to the main ±12 V output, the Preamp Power Supply provides an always-on, +5 V auxiliary power supply. This supply is intended for use with micro controllers and supervisory circuits, and can supply up to 80 mA. 

    The Preamp Power Supply features a +12 V compatible trigger output. This output is short-circuit protected and is capable of supplying 100 mA. This output is intended for remote control of power amplifiers, though, it is equally useful as the power supply for a relay-based input selector.

    The power on/off control is provided by an on-board, low-voltage control circuit. The control circuitry supports the use of both momentary ("doorbell") switches and toggle switches. This allows the use of the many anti-vandal switches, that are popular in DIY audio circles, as a power switch for the Preamp Power Supply. 

    In addition to the power switch, the Preamp Power Supply can be controlled by an external 12 V trigger. This is an attractive option when the supply is used to power the small-signal circuits of a power amplifier such as the opamps in the Purifi and Hypex Class D amplifiers. The 12 V trigger is opto-isolated which prevents ground loops.

    The Preamp Power Supply is protected against overload. This includes over-current and over-temperature protection on all outputs.

    To indicate the ON and STANDBY states, the Preamp Power Supply provides two LED outputs. Each output is equipped with a dimmer, which allows you to adjust the LED brightness to suite your taste. The dimmers work by pulse-width modulating the LEDs at a frequency well above the audio band. Unlike other solutions, pulse-width modulation works even with white and blue LEDs without changing the colour of the light emitted by the LED. The LED outputs on the Preamp Power Supply are compatible with both individual LEDs and with bi-colour LEDs (both 2-pin and 3-pin types).

    The Preamp Power Supply module is made in Canada. The two-layer, gold plated PCB is made in Toronto and assembled in Calgary. 

  • The Preamp Power Supply has the following features:

    • Fixed ±12 V @ ±650 mA output. 
    • Ultra-low output noise and output impedance.
    • Mains voltage input with support for worldwide mains voltages and frequencies.
    • Integrated power control circuitry which supports the use of low-voltage switches, such as the anti-vandal switches popular with DIYers.
    • Support for both momentary (doorbell) and toggle switches for power control.
    • Built-in over-current and over-temperature protection on all outputs. 
    • LED indication of ON and STANDBY states with support for bi-colour LEDs (both 2-pin and 3-pin types).
    • Dual LED dimmer.
    • 12 V compatible trigger output with 100 mA current limit for remote control of power amplifiers.
    • 12 V, opto-isolated trigger input.
    • 5 V @ 50 mA always-on auxiliary power supply.
    • Rising cage clamp output terminals supporting wires up to AWG 16 (1.5 mm2) in size.
    • Compact 55 × 108 mm footprint. Fits within a 1U chassis height, including safety clearances.
    • Two-layer, gold plated PCB.
    • Made in Canada.
  • The specifications for the Preamp Power Supply are tabulated below.

    Note 1: For best performance, the main output should be loaded symmetrically by at least ±25 mA. The sum of the positive load current, trigger output current, and auxiliary output current should not exceed 670 mA.

    Note 2: A 6.4 mm safety clearance is needed from the longest component pin to the chassis. Thus, I recommend using 10 mm standoffs with the Preamp Power Supply.

  • The block diagram of the Preamp Power Supply is shown below.

    The main ±12 V output is provided by a pair of ultra-low noise linear voltage regulators from Texas Instruments. The Power Control circuit controls the two linear regulators to allow for a smooth power-up and power-down.

    All outputs of the Preamp Power Supply are protected against over-current. All regulators and the current limiter are protected against over-temperature as well. If the main output is accidentally short-circuited, the power supply will simply power down. 

  • The graphs below show the measurements of the prototype build of the Preamp Power Supply. The final version will likely perform slightly better.

    The output impedance of the ±12 V output is shown below.


    As seen in the graph the output impedance of the Preamp Power Supply is very low. It is near 1 mΩ mid-band for the positive output and below 70 mΩ within the frequency range of 20 Hz – 80 kHz. The positive output has lower output impedance as the positive regulator is a tad better than the negative.

    The graph below shows the output noise of the ±12 V output of the Preamp Power Supply.


    The output noise spectrum is completely free of rectifier and mains components. Only a minuscule amount of switching noise is present, and only on the negative output. The integrated noise measures 20 µV and 13 µV for the positive and negative outputs, respectively, within the frequency range of 20 Hz – 20 kHz.

    Transient Response

    While the performance under steady-state conditions are important, it is also important that the power supply responds gracefully to load transients. The plots below show the change in the positive and negative output, respectively, as the load current is increased from 10 mA to 600 mA in a fast step.

    As the graphs show, the Preamp Power Supply responds cleanly without any tendency to ringing or overshoot.

Flavor Name: Variety Packs, Size: 3 Pack, Set name: Large, Flavor Name: Variety Packs, Size: 3 Pack, Set name: Large
Ok so I'm very happy that my standard poodle seemed to really enjoy this product. She was lacking and biting it for hours and days. That said she has still yet to make a dent in the bone. It seems to be too hard and too thick for her. I was surprised how heavy it was! It is large enough it is completely safe to leave her in the other room with. No strange odor or transfer of color. I'd say for the cost it isn't worth it as she is only getting filling and not able to eat the bone for some reason. Then again she is entertained for hours..so maybe so. Doesn't seem to bother her sensitive tummies either.

Yuummmy but priceyyyy
Flavor Name: Variety Packs, Size: 1.26 Pound (Pack of 1), Set name: Small
I personally didn't eat them but I gave my dog one. After one my dog found out where I stashed them, ripped the package open and grabbed the rest from the bag. He then hid them around the house and individually opened them and ate them. I know this because I kept finding plastic wrap everywhere and then empty bones. So I'm going to guess they were delicious. Also a bonus to have extra bones for them to chew on and you to step on! I will say, I didnt like how they were all individually plastic wrapped, made it difficult for me to open them.

Great dog toy!
Color: Green
This is my third or fourth purchase of the same toy. My 45 lb super chewer dog loves to chew on this and especially likes to play tug of war. He is very rough on toys and most do not last longer than a few weeks. This toy lasts about 2 years - which is amazing considering my dog plays with it every day. Eventually it breaks in half during a tug of war session, but I don’t consider that a flaw or a problem because we definitely get our money’s worth of playtime! I’m happy to buy a new one every couple of years and I will keep buying it as long as it is available.

Still going strong after three months of Doberman teeth!
Color: Green
This was one of the first toys I purchased for my adopted 4 year old Doberman Pinscher. It has been chewed, and chewed, and chewed some more. This is one of his 3 favorite toys when he has to go in his crate. As of yet there are no significant teeth marks, holes, or missing pieces. It is solid rubber, light weight compared to a similar toy he has, and just the right size to carry around in his mouth. He seems to enjoy the sensation the little rubber nubs have on his gums when he chews it. We have also used this toy to play tug of war and fetch for the same reasons listed but also because the neon green color is easy to see especially if the dog gets distracted and leaves it in the yard. When playing fetch the weight of the toy does not lead to rotator cuff surgery with repetitive throwing on the part of the dog's human! When it gets too dirty and slimy for my tolerance, it is easily washed in the laundry room sink with dish detergent and a sponge always returning to its Spic n' Span original appearance. If and when he chews this one up, I will not hesitate to replace it. Top 3 Likes: -Sturdy, holds up to chewing, used as a crate toy as it poses no threat from dislodged pieces -Bright color aids in finding it outside -Comparatively lightweight, easy to throw, and easy to clean Top 3 Disikes: -Potentially an aggressive chewer could dismantle Only 1 dislike!
