Title: Line 6 wireless-power distribution
Post by: Bradford "BJ" James on November 14, 2017, 11:35:33 PM
Putting a small rack of 4) v75 systems together for a customer.
The systems include bnc cables to link the systems together through the same pair of antennae. Just wondering if there is a cable available to supply power to all 4 receivers and use only one power suply. I know the available L6 antenna distro includes 2 such cables, but I can't find them available separately. Does Don B still make appearances here?
Thanks. BJ

I bought a “One Spot” 9v power supply from a local music store a few years ago, and it’s been a workhorse for my Line 6 units. It’s made to be used for guitar pedals, but at 1700mA supply, it’s enough for 4 XD-V series units. I also bought the “multi-plug 5 cable”.

Edited to correct amperage.

Don't forget to isolate the unused plugs. There are whips that you can get from ebay that will give you four outputs.

Bare in mind that the guitar power split and the whip listed above have a slightly smaller outer diameter for the connector than what the v70/75 uses so it will not be a snug fit.

I read this and thought 'Wow - someone's figured out on wireless power distribution!  Hallelujah, what a time to be alive!'

Now that's a whole 'nother can of worms. The people that sold me my tinfoil hat told me that Nikola Tesla got it right ages ago and the order is simply making you pay for copper to get more money out of you.
