Union Audio Orbit.6 - Europa Power Supply

22
Orbit.6 is powered by the external Hybrid Linear power supply unit (PSU)
“Europa”. Each Europa PSU is factory congured for the specic mains voltage
for the locaon where it is used, and is available in three versions; 100VAC
(JAPAN ONLY), 115VAC, and 230VAC. Please ensure you specify the correct
mains voltage when placing your order for the Orbit.6
Europa has three outputs, +16V and -16V providing power for the mixer’s
analogue audio circuitry, and +12V to power the valve heater elements.
The two analogue rails are fully linear and are derived via a high quality toroidal
transformer, bridge recer, smoothing, and dual discrete regulators. These
analogue power rails are extremely quiet with a typical wide-band output noise
level of <-85dBu at the rated output of 1 amp.
The analogue power rails are fully protected against short circuit and
overvoltage, and each rail has its own visual status indicator; Green for good,
ashing Amber for overheat warning, or ashing Red in the event of a
shutdown.
The 12 volts for the valve heaters is derived from a compact switched mode
power supply module, ensuring high eciency and maximum reliability.
WARNING - To prevent the risk of re or electric shock do not
operate the Europa PSU near water or in locaons where it is likely
to be exposed to rain or moisture.
Always ensure the Europa has adequate venlaon, and if operated in high
ambient temperatures consider addional measure to aid cooling, such as a
small desktop fan.
