JDS Labs - 15V Power Supply

JDS Labs 15VAC power supply

This 15VAC power supply is the original JDS Labs mains adapter for all Atom DACs, including the JDS Labs Atom DAC 2, as well as the Objective2, Objective2+ODAC and OL DAC. Use it to replace a lost or damaged supply, to keep a spare at a second setup, or to run a unit bought abroad with your country's plug.

An AC output

This adapter delivers an alternating voltage (VAC), not a DC one. The JDS Labs units concerned are designed for this type of supply and handle rectification and regulation themselves. A generic DC adapter, even of a similar voltage, is therefore not a substitute.

Four plug versions

The US model accepts 110-120 VAC, 50-60 Hz input. The EU, AU and UK models accept 220-240 VAC, 50 Hz input. In France, choose the EU version.

Note: according to JDS Labs, the US version is now 14.5 VAC nominal and is marked "14VAC 500mA" on the label due to limited space. This slight voltage reduction lowers the operating temperature of compatible units while maintaining performance.
