NUX Zeus Advanced Isolated Power Supply
As a musical instrument brand, NUX builds lots of pedals and multi-effects. Customers who use high gain distortion pedals always have a headache with their power supply. The DC daisy-chain can drive several pedals, but ground noise will occur often, especially while you connect analog pedals and digital pedals at the same time. To be an industry pioneer, NUX has the mission to build a reliable, extremely-low-noise, light-weight, universal, high current, all-isolated power supply.
Concept
Zeus is the god of the sky and thunder. His most famous power is the ability to throw lightning to the earth. That’s why NUX name the power supply ~ ZEUS. Zeus provides 10 high current isolated DC power. It equips 10 isolated switching power transformers to offer clean and stable source for your pedals. Modern Musicians like digital post-effects like Eventide®, Strymon®, etc., so Zeus comes with 3 adjustable high current outputs (9v/500ma | 12v/300ma | 18v/200ma), and 1 tweakable high current output (6v~9v~12v) to meet these needs. It means you can use Fuzz or Phaser with the tweakable output to find your best sound.
For working musicians, Zeus has USB port for mobile device charging. It’s reliable and durable to power your pedals and your phone.

FEATURES
Zeus is able to deliver substantially more current while handling a much wider range of input voltages, acting more efficiently than linear power supplies.
Transient Currents (Powerful)
The current of an effect pedal (especially power-hungry modern DSP effects) is different at the moment of power-on and normal operation. The transient current often exceeds the normal operating current by 1 to 2 times. Zeus can effectively provide more than 2 times the instantaneous start-up current.
NOTE:
- 1-6CH: >1100mA
- 7-10CH: >600mA
- USB 5V: >2.1A
Tweakable Dial Control (Sag or Rise for the best sounding)
Tweakable dial controls to adjust variable voltage: 6V~12V. Musicians are particular and care about the tone, especially for their Fuzz, Phaser, BBD Chorus, and Overdrive pedals. Here they can adjust the voltage carefully to get the best sound and dynamics.
Optical Negative Feedback Control (Sound like designed to sound)
Why do musicians need a fully-isolated power supply? Ground noise is annoying, and the best way to solve it is individually isolated power, found in the Zeus. Just plug it your pedals in, and you are good to go!
The main advantage of the variable power supplies is greater efficiency (up to 96%) and lower heat generation than linear regulators. This is because the switching transistor dissipates little power when acting as a switch.
Other advantages include smaller size, and lighter weight from the elimination of heavy and expensive line-frequency transformers. Standby power loss is often much less than transformers.
Zeus' two stages of isolation topology can eliminate ground loop and AC line noise issues completely.
A feedback circuit monitors the output voltage and compares it with a reference voltage. Depending on design and safety requirements, the controller may contain an isolation mechanism (such as an opto-coupler) to isolate it from the DC output.
Extremely Low Noise
No matter low currents pedals or high currents DSP pedals, Zeus handles them all well.

UL Certification (Safety)
To build a commerce product, NUX had to make sure of its safety. It cost them more than 1 year to reach all the requirements of UL. NUX is proud to say the ZEUS isolated power supply is not only a professional musician’s tool, it’s also a GREEN power.
Universal AC Power (100V~240V World Tour Ready)
As a working musician’s tool, you don’t need to worry about the AC voltage, just choose the specific IEC power chord and plug, plug it, and you are good to go.
Self-Regulated Output (Ultra Low Impedance)M
Unlike other switching power supply which uses multi-stage filtering to eliminate the noise, the self-regulated output design of Zeus which has ultra low impedance that offers clean power and great dynamics! Too much filtering will kill the harmonics and dynamics.
Abundant DC cables(Multiple Applications)
Besides regular DC cables, reverse polarity cable, 3.5mm mini plug cable, Zeus offers HX current doubler adaptor. Zeus can even drive LINE6 HX-STOMP with no trouble.

Note: If you want to parallel 2 outputs to double the currents, please use 2 outputs from output 1~6. And make sure the loading is less than 800mA to keep the safety.
