Power Supply Units For Audio-Visual Equipment

Sourcing a reliable power supply unit is key in successfully developing, launching, and marketing quality audio-visual equipment.

Having worked with many reputable AV manufacturers over the years, Ideal Power has developed many high-quality power supply units (PSUs) that meet the standards and certifications, such as the audio, and video standard IEC/EN/UL 62368-1, which came into effect in December 2020.

IEC 62368 will safeguard you against potential hazards based on performance testing.

The key points IEC 62368 covers are:

• The installation and use of the equipment
• The design of the electronic equipment
• The ecosystem (connections to other equipment)
• The system itself (its topology and configuration)

OUR BEST POWER SUPPLY UNITS

As a more affordable PSU, linear power supplies work particularly well with products such as amplifiers. This is because AC/AC power supplies possess a low operating frequency, producing optimal noise and ripple performance. However, the size and weight of linear power solutions increase in line with the power they produce, resulting in limitations on the output power.

The technology used in linear PSUs is rarely as efficient as its switch-mode counterparts. At Ideal Power, we provide AC/AC power supplies ranging from 6 watts to 40 watts, with a proportion of units conforming to the latest ERP Efficiency standards. This means you can maximise the power output whilst retaining the noise and ripple performance.

Switch-mode power supply units are smaller, lighter, and more efficient than their linear counterparts, but the noise and ripple performance is challenging. AC/DC power supplies often produce variable frequencies rather than the static frequencies linear PSUs work at. They can be manipulated to operate at a fixed frequency, but these models are specially manufactured for audio applications. There is a lot of scope for audio PSUs within this range.
