LOW NOISE BATTERY POWER SUPPLY/CHARGER
REVISION PrB – DECEMBER 2011
Dear customer,
thank you for purchasing PALMER POWER STATION. What you have is not just a simple power
supply, but a first-rate dedicated power supply with many unique features conceived to
obtain the best audio performance out of the YOUNG 384/32 DAC and other 15V-operated
M2Tech products.
PALMER POWER STATION features a Li-Po battery with capacity sufficient to many hours of
continuous listening with the YOUNG, an integrated battery charger and a low noise
regulator which is either fed by the battery or by a pre-regulator while the battery is being
charged. This allows for uninterrupted operation and certain full charge time.
PALMER POWER STATION has two outputs to power two M2Tech 15V devices, like the YOUNG
384/32 DAC and the JOPLIN 384/24 ADC. They can be switched off when the powered
devices are not used to save battery charge.
A universal mains input internal supply allows for operation all over the world without need
for settings. The supply may be switched off when using the battery to minimize the
interferences from the mains.
We feel that your expectations will be fulfilled by PALMER POWER STATION: you’ll hear your
music in a way like never before, prepare for a whole new experience!
Nadia Marino, CEO
