two NC400 driven by one SMPS600?
« on: 25 Sep 2013, 09:12 pm »
Hello everyone!
I am fascinated by all the comments on Hypex NCore from its users and about to build one for myself too.

I am just wondering, whether it is possible to use one SMPS600 to drive a pair of NC400?
If so, how to connect? (with the cables provided by Hypex)

Many thanks!  :green:

Hi

I use 1 SMPS600 powering two NC400

in your order you get a single ended and dual ended power cable connector set, all I did was cut the dual ended power cable connector and soldered the single ended to the split in two dual ended cable effectively making a Y cable connector.

Ah here is a picture of the Y cable see in the post below

Yes, that's what I did too. I have 2 x 4 nc400's, with each pair sharing a SMPS600 (so 8 nc400's, 4 SMPS600's).

I will, as soon as I finish the new active crossover and clear up the cable mess... Just need a round tuit...
