i'm just trynna buy a CHEAP one, not drop $20 on an interface that looks like it was made when i was born

shoulda just got a second hand snowball 😡

$20 for an interface?

really all i need is a power supply

Geez, be thankful, you won't even get a used one for under 50 here

Euro even

awful

wait wtf

AC/DC adaptor

interface says AC18V in

which is it

DC

i don't see a full bridge rectifier in there

this board looks like it was part of a hobbiest kit

so much wasted space

and every part is silkscreened

Is there nothing on the backside? Else what spaqin said

nothing besides traces and joints

I think it's halfwave rectifying by the looks of it

it uses a barrel plug as input

lick the caps

omg

Hrmm

that diode may be just for safety

Might be a voltage doubler from the look of the diodes?

in case someone plugs in a musical instrument adapter

And TIP122 with the zener as a reference for a cheapo linreg maybe

Too tired to trace that out

why are these traces so BIG

THICC traces save lives

big voltage fam

ya

b-but my amps

you want
1) thick traces
2) clearance

it just looks like thick traces

clearance is not so

THICC traces for THICC amps

Prolly was just cheap to make with through-hole parts

with this much wasted space you would think the clearences would be at least 1mm
