Hi all

I just sold my Creamware A16, but since I needed the power supply I was using with it for other gear, I decided to sell the Creamware A16 without it.

I didn't take any photos of the power area, but the new owner doesn't seem to understand what power supply he must use.

Does anyone has the complete specifications for it?
I am away from the studio now, and am unable to check that...


Thanks in advance
Best regards

Paulo

That's it! Y really sold it without the power supply?

PSU must convert from source mains (120 or 240V, AC) to DC 19Volts, 2Amps. Post the connector end as well!

Jameco electronics carries fantastic replacement power supplies.
I have spares for every PSU I need, even the XITE-1.

You have a Laptop at home already die? Im shure!

If you have a Laptop Power supply, this works great on mine. It has 6 Ampere instead of 2A but the Trick is, ONE Powersupply provides the Power for 3 A16 all together. Works great!

I've mentioned it numerous times: imho the best PSU for the blue A16 is an original IBM Thinkpad PSU (16V, 4.5A)
There are countless on eBay for a few bucks.

Main advantage: the PSU has internal auto switch off if no load is connected, no need to unplug.
Even better: the A16 has a very strange regulator design which emit a LOT of heat - with the Thinkpad PSU the regulator seems to have much less to do and the unit stays handwarm even without the fan.
I didn't detect any quality loss or strange sideeffects.

Beware: some cheapo no-name switching PSUs may turn the A16 into a frying pan within minutes.
I've checked this myself with an 18V 2A type myself. It's really strange.

cheers, Tom
