Frequently Asked Questions
What is a redundant power supply and why is it important in live sound?
A redundant power supply maintains continuous power to critical audio equipment even if one power unit fails. In live events, this prevents audio loss and allows technicians to replace a failed unit without interrupting the performance.
Which Allen & Heath systems can use the MPS16 power supply?
The MPS16 is designed for dLive S Class surfaces, MixRacks, and DX32 expanders. This makes it suitable for mid-to-large scale professional digital audio systems used in venues, broadcast facilities, and touring productions.
What does hot-swappable mean and how does it benefit my venue?
Hot-swappable means you can remove and replace a failed power supply while the system continues operating without interruption. This is critical for live events where downtime is unacceptable.
How much does the MPS16 weigh and is it portable?
The MPS16 is lightweight at 1.27 kg, making it easy to transport and install in touring systems. Its fanless design also means it runs quietly and requires minimal space in equipment racks.
What maintenance does a fanless power supply require?
Fanless designs require less maintenance than fan-cooled units. Keep ventilation openings clear of dust and ensure proper rack airflow. Regularly inspect power cables and connectors for wear.
How does dual-redundant operation compare to a single power supply?
Dual-redundant provides automatic failover protection for mission-critical events; a single supply is simpler but offers no backup if failure occurs. Redundant systems add cost but ensure continuity in professional installations.
