I have always used meanwell , delta , morrnsun , fsp , bel. if you are powering something really important then there is cosel & tdk these are like 10 times more expensive than regular units but the cosel ones are made in japan and way over engeenereed to be as good as possible. For regular use like powering audio amps. Meanwell mornsun and fsp PSUs are all good. I have a meanwell powering a headunit that i use as home radio. And it has never been turned off for once for more than 7 years. It gets power from ups when that occasional power outage happens. I keep it running cus i need to retain the realtime clock and other settings in the headunit.

This is a fantastic review and power brick comparison! Now I have a question for you, Fosi has a GaN 48V power brick, almost cost as much as the amp itself. Any chance you can test the GaN version also?😊

@christalbert722 Год назад

I'm know others have said this, but- -Would be interesting to see the performance on battery- say 3 and 4 car batteries. Clean DC with ample capacity. This would be the best-case benchmark to reference. -Does the voltage sag during the test? Is the display on the PS the actual output voltage or the set-point (the actual voltage being lower)? -might be interesting to have a scope on the power? See if noise is coming in as the load goes up?

Apparently they are soon to release a new version. I returned my BT30D because it was not compatible with 48 volt 10 amp power supply needed to take advantage of the TI 3255 chip and to get max performance, not achieved with the 32v power supply.

@adrianbennett9322 Год назад

That low quality variable will be the issue. A decent Meanwell brand (industrial) 48V unit will have overload capacity to deal with the tests. When the switchmodes are made for a single voltage they seem far stronger. Thanks for these in depth videos!!

@KuntalGhosh Год назад

Don't even need meanwell. A 12amp morunsun would do that perfectly fine. Meanwell is good to have if you are gonna use it regularly. Fsp , bel are good aswell. Don't need cosel or tdk unless you want to overspend..

Hello Big D! Have you tried the AIYIMA Audio A07 Pro with this power supply? I have a MeanWell 48V 500W PSU, I want to buy a TPA3255 amplifier, but I want to make sure that it will work with it. I want to use it for 12" subs, so power is needed. There is another alternative called Wondom/Sure BRU5. It also has DSP! And you can buy them at half the price of the Fosi and Ayima amplifiers.

@editorjuno Год назад

Beware of power bricks -- they provide the specified current, but they are frequently not well filtered and can inject audible squealing when used to power chip amps. The 24 volt 10 amp power brick I bought a couple of years ago would probably be OK to power an LED string, but it's not usable for audio gear because of that squealing. Btw, I have what looks to be that adjustable SMPS you used and it worked fine powering my 9 volt guitar pedals -- in fact, it worked better that the purpose-built wall wart I subsequently bought, which resulted in a loud pop when I switched on the power strip that I didn't have with the SMPS.

@jean-paulschweitzer6211 Год назад

You´re right, EMI filtering at the output (or a cap multiplier) costs money (40USD!)! But I´m not sure if the other one is filtered. Another point, are the components safe (X, Y capacitors and so on)?

@vinylmonster4907 Год назад

i bought the BT30 Pro and ended up returning it after discovering that it wasnt compatible with a 48v 10amp power supply, which is needed to get the full performance from the upgraded 3255 chip. A rep from Fosi Audio said this was being corrected in the yet to be released new version....

@HansHenderson 11 месяцев назад

@bluev2srt Год назад

Are you sure the psu is not making distortion high enough to trigger the test to end? It would be interesting to see on a scope or at least a set of voltage leads to determine what is going on? Keep up the good work I for one love this stuff !

@bluev2srt Год назад

@Douglas Blake That just does not make sense for the 8 ohm test vs 4 ohm test. The 8 ohm would have been close to 4 ohms in watts if what you are saying is true.

@NightshiftCustom Год назад

it's 100% dirty power out of that psu

@NightshiftCustom Год назад

@Douglas Blake sure the psu maybe able to output 10amps but the dyno test is for less then 1% distortion and as you can see the amp uses 7.5 amps at one point but the power reading is not going up on the dyno as it is to dirty and not a clean enough reading for the dyno if you were to put a scope on the psu or the amp you would see it

@SpirallingOut 10 месяцев назад

Fosi Audio have a 240W 48V/5A GaN power supply now, for $30 more. Would love to see you test its power claims and put it up against the non-GaN 240W version.

@dre04mach 6 месяцев назад

Did you monitor the voltage on the power supply during the 48v tests? I wonder what kind of voltage went to the amp - if it had voltage drop... at 7.9amps at 48v it should have bested the 5amp power brick... only thing that would drop the overall wattage (in my mind at least) is if the voltage dropped dramatically. very interesting!

@SilmarilS79 Год назад

input voltage means nothing for a switching psu

@javaman2883 Год назад

The Dyno is measuring with clipping and distortion tracked. It's probably the brick designed for audio amplifier usage has some filtering optimized for that usage. Versus the general purpose power supply has such a wide range for it's filtering. The optimal filter capacitor is based on the current draw of your load, the voltage, the inductance of the load, the reactance of the load. Even just looking at a load of 0-10 amps and 0-48volts, that's a very wide range to filter for.

@kevinpaynter 9 месяцев назад

Just note that you connected the negative power cable to the amp to the earth/grounding connection of the power supply. The grounding/earth is meant for the 220v or 110v supply. You should connect it to the -V connections. I connected mine to the Ground initially and it lost a lot of out put because the earth/ground was not clean. I changed to the -V connectors and it worked way better.

@danhorton6182 Год назад

Can you measure the voltage coming out of the power supply? If your fluke measured 7 amps of current then if it was truly putting out 48 volts then yeah, it should have been better than the brick. Also the negative voltage is odd. So if you wired something from the positive voltage to the negative you’d have 96v potential. I’m wondering if you’re really only seeing half the voltage you think you are.

@Random_4400 Год назад

Strange occurrence, i bought a similar power supply but not as adjustable it's only 48v 12.5a 600w but you can fine tune the voltage to like 40 or up to about 55 it works very well with the subwoofer version of the aiyima a07 (bridged TPA3255 single 600w mono output) have 2 10" 500w subs connected in parallel al 2 ohms and it powers them very well, (they are still underpowered but i am planning to upgrade the amp to a different one soon) i did try to measure the current draw with a clamp meter but it's limited by the amp at about 9-10a at the power supply before the amp starts to clip badly so sadly i cannot test it's full "48v 12.5a 600w" rating but i can confirm it is at least 10A the voltage doesn't drop at all so i guess you just got a bad or fake one, moral of the story is to be careful because it looks like there are some fakes out there.

@andrewthomas8116 3 часа назад

Hello, I am curious to know how the Fosi amp would perform if it was connected to a 48V bank of Lithium batteries. Have you done any tests using batteries? I would imagine that there may be an improvement in sound as there is no noise. Thanks

@hindesite Год назад

Can you comment on the quiescent power draw for this Amp? My BT20A Pro sits at 35C (room ambient about 18C) which seems to indicate there might be a problem, my BT20A was cool at idle.

@terbo2000 Год назад

@Douglas Blake Well I let mine get nice and warm and pulled it out of the chassis and started poking around and the only thing I could find that's getting hot is the heat sink, and it was HOT. The voltage regulator is an XLSEMI XL7015E1 which is rated to 80V and was just warm when I poked it.

@poopandfartjokes Год назад

You could definitely gets more content with that power supply. Could measure the voltage independently instead of trusting the included volt meter. I’m curious if the voltage started at 48 and dropped when it was loaded, or if it was even putting out 48 to begin with.

@josephsaucedo8691 Год назад

Kinda of in strange I wondering if that factory power supply is actually put out 48v it probably rated at that but that not what it's putting out it probably higher voltage. I'm only wondering this because you can get the adjustable in high voltage for no extra charge really IV seen up to 72 v that iv seen at that amp range. usually the price increase by the amount of amp supplyed by the power supplys. Example 48v 15amp 29$ but for a 12v only 100 amp power supply range your talking 250$ even a 12v at 50amp is around 75$ 🤔💯🤯👍✌️🎵🎶

@Random_4400 Год назад

Really strange how the amp meter shows a current draw of over 7.9a, that's around 380 watts yet you only got around 76w per channel?? Something is wrong here haha, doesn't add up.

@davidknightaudio934 Год назад

You will really need to use your brain on this one but number one amplifier loses power because it's users power itself number to the current the current clamp is likely in average maximum mode and showing the highest peak number of the current not to the continuous Reading

@Random_4400 Год назад

@David Knight Audio might be but generally class D amps are not that inefficient if it was class A/B it would make sense but it obviously isn't, something is wrong here.

@NightshiftCustom Год назад

its simple. the power brick is outputting dirty power the dyno is looking for clean power and only shows clean power so the amp maybe trying to output more and more power but its to dirty for the dyno

@Marcink126 Год назад

Did you see voltage drop on the variable power supply? Based on the math something is completely wrong. Fluke showed 8amps with 48V it gives 384W of power consumption and SMD showed 2 x 70 which is 140, so efficiency of the amp went down (when 140W dissipates on such small chip is insane) or voltage dropped?

@Marcink126 Год назад

@Douglas Blake no, amp meter showed 8A of consumption during test, psu should be able to give 10amps.

@ricsim78 11 месяцев назад

Never push a product past its limits, especially when it comes to fire hazards like powered amplifiers! From what I read, Fosi says they are coming out with a better version because even though the chipset works best at 48V 10 amp (and puts out closer to advertised power output), the power handling of the unit is not good enough currently. I think there is a good reason 48V 10 amp supplies are not yet available from them directly, they know it cannot handle that in the current form.

@CDBiker220 Год назад

I am from the late 70s when THE GOLD INDUSTRY STANDARD was the watts per channel at 8 ohm at a frequency response of 20hz to 20,000 hz with the other rating being at 1khz which was always highe. At least I can relate to your tests instead of all the marketing BS....."1,000,000 watts per channel!", "I can drive my Klipsch 96 inch woofer with this tiny amp", "The whole band was playing through this amp at Madison Square Garden, it was so loud people were wearing ear plugs!!!" I am totally baffled by the 48V/10A PS...(Piece of S???) Could it be that there is a limiting factor in the amp itself? Is there a way to test the PS by itself connected to some electronic measuring equipment? In the meantime I appreciate the 48V 5A Power Supply you tested. Is there an in-between 48V 7.5A version out there, preferably in a power brick mode? Thanks for the clearing all the marketing hype!

hi sir, im new to audiophile, planning to buy bt20apro, hook up to speaker and phone. do i need to buy dac?

@niveknella4690 Год назад

No, the amp has Bluetooth built in. The amp also has RCA in, so you can get a Aux out to RCA cable if you don't want to use bluetooth but it's not much better than Bluetooth imo. Your phone has a DAC. I would recommend a dedicated DAC if you are listening from other sources such as a laptop or PC that don't have Bluetooth.

Dac on the phone is not powerfull.. the quality also depends on the brand and type. If you want upscale your audiopile experience you should buy a dedicated dac. Donggle dac at least

I am going to assume the power supply is suspect. A lot of the amazon stuff like this can be terrible.

@johnnodge4327 Год назад

Looking at the variable power supply output wiring. You had the output connected incorrectly. The positive + connection wire was correctly fitted to the + terminal. However you had the negative - wire made to the chassis earth terminal, and not the negative terminal of the output. This would massively limit the output voltage.

@mfarmarco Год назад

He wired it correctly. There are 3 screw terminals for each output. 3 for pos 3 for neg. The angle of the camera makes it look wrong but it's correct.

I thought the same thing at first glance but yeah the other reply is correct the print on the case is a bit offset from the terminal strip

Try 4 12 volt car batteries

@wal Год назад

That’s more than 48V since each battery rests around 12.6-12.8VDC

@christalbert722 Год назад

YES. I was going to say this but looked through the comments first. It would be slightly over-voltage, but I expect not to the point of damage. ALSO test at 36V. The point is to see what the best this amp can do with truly clean power. Then other power supplies can be judged against this optimum situation. YES.

@chuckholmes2075 Год назад

that's because just like amplifiers the cheaper companies use MAX ratings on their power supplies just to get a sale

@stevenjones5226 Год назад

That other power supply, "really sux"😂

Ok so now everyone thinking Power wheels Chargers are usually pretty beefy🤔

@editorjuno Год назад

...with a fuktonne of noise.

@ricsim78 11 месяцев назад

The one that came with my daughter's Power Wheels Jeep is pretty beefy for sure.

@SileDevil Год назад

so is it any good then? is it bad? cant understand the technical language

@wal2 Год назад

The variable power supply isn’t what it should be

@SileDevil Год назад

@@wal2 is it possible to use another one?

@jdlech Год назад

Just can't trust anything they write on the box or label. Always test it as soon as you get it.

@D1N02 Год назад

Don't buy no name Chinese power supplies. Look up the Mean Well SDR-480P-48. It is a much bigger device.

@mitchellroberts7954 11 месяцев назад

Very true! Second hand meanwell PSU's off of eBay and whatnot are a staple for hobbyists. Often under $100 for 500-1200w PSU's ranging in voltage from 12v to 48v

@abaddj7295 Год назад

How about you tested with a real 800 watt power supply

Lame

@northa4021 Год назад

Is there an explanation to go along with, "lame?" My basement is in the middle of a renovation and I have had to pack up my system. I am temporarily using the BT20, not Pro, and this little amp works pretty well. Sound quality is pretty good, actually impressive for the money. Mine is definitely not, "lame."

@ricsim78 11 месяцев назад

Then quit being lame! Make interesting content that is "superior". What did you expect, to see an amp dyno test or uncensored real life action involving guns, girls, and midget wrestling? 🤣 As for the Drok, you should know a cheap Chinese unit is not going to be up to par. That is like buying Pyle with their "6000 Watt" amplifiers that likely put out about 20.

@NightshiftCustom Год назад

that power supply is just putting out dirty power is all this is and that's why your getting poor readings

@NightshiftCustom Год назад

@Douglas Blake do you understand how the amp dyno works ?

@ThomasTVP Год назад

Interesting. Measurements aside, I ordered the 48V-5A supply from Fosi directly to replace the 32V-5A that comes in the box. And it doesn't feel like I'm getting a whole lot more power out of it. Whereas I'm at about 65% I needed with the 32V one, I'm now at about 55% with the 48V version. Should the difference in volume output be so small?
