Isolated Power Supplies for Audio Pedalboards

Dedicated power supplies for audio applications are engineered to provide clean, isolated power to sensitive effect pedals and multi-effects units. These units are crucial for preventing ground loops, hum, and other electrical interference that can degrade audio quality in live sound, studio, and theatrical environments. For live sound engineers and AV technicians managing complex pedalboards, a robust power supply ensures consistent performance without introducing unwanted noise into the signal chain. The Cioks range, for instance, offers highly flexible and powerful solutions. Models like the Cioks DC7 feature multiple isolated outlets with switchable voltages, catering to a wide array of pedal requirements, including power-hungry devices. Its ultra-thin profile allows for discreet integration into pedalboard setups, while the pure 2-stage switch-mode technology delivers a maximum of 48W, accommodating multiple high-current effects from various manufacturers. Expander units such as the Cioks 4 and Cioks 8 provide additional isolated outlets, allowing for scalable power solutions as pedalboards grow. These expanders seamlessly integrate with a primary unit like the DC7, offering further voltage flexibility and current capacity. For specific high-draw pedals, the Cioks CRUX acts as a dedicated add-on, freeing up outlets on the main supply and ensuring optimal power delivery for devices like Neural DSP Quad Cortex or Line 6 HX-series pedals. Whether powering a small, medium, or large pedalboard, these specialized power supplies are designed to meet the rigorous demands of professional audio production. They offer the reliability and noise-free operation essential for theatre technicians, production managers, and musicians who cannot compromise on sound integrity.
