Hello - Can someone tell me what the power requirements are for the BIII using the IVYIII? I have one Placid HD BP ps with a 9v toroidal.

Given the following statement copied from the IVYIII page:

IVY-III requires between one (and up to three) ±12-15VDC (bipolar) power supplies.

I am guessing I'll need at the very least a 15v transformer.

Do I need another single Placid HD to power the BIII?

Eventually I plan to have 2 BIII boards, one for each channel, will I need separate power supply(s) for each channel?

Thanks,

Rick

I would suggest reading the BIII integration guide, esp. the chapter "Powering it all". This chapter describes exactly what you need.

Thanks, I read ahead. I'll need one Placid HD & 9V transformer for each BIII.

For the IVY I'm still not sure because of this statement on the IVY page:

IVY-III requires between one (and up to three) ±12-15VDC (bipolar) power supplies.

What is the determining factor for the number of BP power supplies?

1 is sufficient. While more power supplies are possible, Russ stated there is no noticable increase in performance.
