dead power supply on apogee ensemble


grawk

Recommended Posts

It happened finally.  Something killed the power supply on my apogee ensemble.  No scorch marks visible, no fuse i can find, it just doesn't power up anymore.  I've emailed apogee, but they stopped supporting these a few years ago.  I just don't have thunderbolt on my mac pro, and really don't want to go through all that.  So I'm torn between replacing it with another one, finding someone to repair it, or getting a metric halo.

the T2A round black thing is the fuse, you can check continuity. Looking for exact replacement now

24 volts 1.67 amps  mounting holes 3.7 x 1.7 inches

made in 2005, so its definitely time to replace

this may or may not fit the mounting holes

this seems the exact item  but its end of life, so maybe buy 2

Hey Grawk Just seen this thread ....my ensemble psu has died too after a few years of taking its time to turn on.

24 volts 1.67 amps  mounting holes 3.7 x 1.7 inches, it's a board.  I forget what the connectors are.

 

edit: found em, more expensive now, but not insane:

I realise this is an old topic but I need to get a power supply as my ensemble blew up, inside I found a mosquito had arced the PS to the case! or at least it looked like it, surely there should be some kind of protective shielding to the case body! 

Anyone any idea where to find a Power supply that would work? Kevin you still about? I'm ok with soldering & replacing the odd cap but this has burnt marks all over it so not sure if it's path I should go down etc but working out what supply I might need apart from the voltage I'm not sure what would be best. The second link at Mouser still works but it's 65w I presume as long as the pins are ok & it's 24v it should be good?

Appreciate any advice..

buy whatever you can find that is the right voltage and meets minimum current requirements.

bonus if it fits the original holes.

otherwise remove old studs, drill new holes etc..

Thanks for the reply Kevin, I really appreciate that. I'll get that one you linked before . your a diamond!
