It works so well that a lot of musicians never felt the need to get one of those brick-style power supplies, and we here at Truetone didn’t see the need for those either, even though they were quite popular. Bob Weil, founder of Truetone, explains:\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“A lot of people over the years had told us that we should make a power brick. Even some of my own staff urged me to do it, but I didn’t want to for two reasons. First, I knew the 1 SPOT could power just about every pedal out there, so I didn’t see the need. Second, I didn’t want to make just another knock-off of someone else’s power brick. If we were going to make one, we were going to do it our way and have features that nobody else could offer. As pedal designs changed and it became more common for digital pedals to require isolation and for others to need something other than 9Vdc, I finally saw a reason for us to design a power brick.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“It took 3 years and lots of experimentation, but we were finally able to design a 1 SPOT Pro, using our own proprietary technology to give musicians all the features they need for today’s pedalboards. The original 1 SPOT still works great for most musicians, but for those who need more power and versatility, the 1 SPOT Pro fills the need perfectly.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIntroducing the Low-Profile CS6\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFollowing on the tremendous success of the 1 SPOT Pro CS7 and CS12, Truetone presents the most powerful slim line power supply in its class, the 1 SPOT Pro CS6. Utilizing the energy efficient technology found in all 1 SPOT’s, the CS6 is the first low-profile power brick to be able to put out up to 1600mA of pure, silent power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJust like its bigger brothers in the 1 SPOT Pro line, the CS6 has a variety of DC voltages available to power just about any pedal on the market. Each output is completely isolated, regulated and filtered, eliminating crosstalk and noise. With no big transformer to hinder their performance, proximity noise is not an issue with any 1 SPOT Pro.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe low-profile design of the 1 SPOT Pro CS6 allows it to be mounted under flat pedalboards like the Pedaltrain® Nano and Metro series. However, the compact design is also perfect for mounting on top of pedalboards, serving the dual role of a power supply and pedal riser.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1 SPOT Technology… what does that mean and why should I care? Technically, it’s switching power supply technology, which is very different than what anyone has ever put inside a power brick. Normally, you would find just a big transformer and a handful of small electronic components inside a power brick… old tech that hasn’t changed in decades and has a lot of limitations. We took the same switching power supply technology found in our famous 1 SPOT and scaled it up to make the 1 SPOT Pro models. With much more space to work with, we were able to completely eliminate noise, provide total electrical isolation between outputs, create multiple voltages, and still give you the ability to use it anywhere in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA major benefit of using a switching power supply is that it can handle far more current (power being pulled out of it) than any transformer-based power supply. Although we had to put power rating labels on each output to satisfy certification agencies (yes, we actually certified these, unlike most companies), the outputs can generally handle far more than the label shows. For example, you can connect a 300mA pedal to a 200mA output, without causing any problems. With a transformer-based power supply, you can’t get away with that. The important thing is to not exceed the total of all the labels. With a CS6, the output labels add up to 1600mA total. That means the total current draw of all your pedals should be less than 1600mA. That total current rating is much higher than any other low profile power brick... and it cost less too!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAvailable Output Voltages:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutputs 1-2: 9VDC (500mA)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutputs 3-4: 9VDC or 18VDC (100mA)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutputs 5-6: 9VDC or 12VDC (200mA)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e88 x 160 x 31mm (3.46 x 6.30 x 1.22”); 590 grams (1.3 lbs.) - weight and dimensions of power supply only, not including cables or packaging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInput Voltage:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 1 SPOT Pro CS6 can be used anywhere in the world without the use of a step-up or step-down transformer.
