Black Noise Modular - Volt 55
Product information "Black Noise Modular - Volt 55"
Designed for flexibility, Volt 55 makes it easy to take your system anywhere. Whether on the couch, traveling, outdoors, or on stage, simply connect a power bank to enjoy hours of mobile music-making. It’s also possible to pre-heat your system before a live performance, ensuring oscillators are tuned and the rig is ready before plugging into a main power supply.
After more than two years of design and testing, Volt 55 was developed with a focus on performance, safety, and durability. The result is a compact 4HP all-in-one power supply that can run systems up to 7U / 104 HP while also powering external gear. Three front-facing USB-A outputs provide additional flexibility for devices such as controllers, lamps, or other accessories.
Volt 55 uses USB-C Power Delivery 3.0 (20 V) for reliable operation, offering a modern, efficient, and portable power solution for modular systems.

Product Safety Information
Please read this safety guide before installation or use.
Intended Use
• This product is a Eurorack power supply module (busboard/distribution board) intended to supply Eurorack-compatible synthesizer modules with ±12V and +5V.
• It must be installed in a suitable Eurorack case by the end customer.
• The power supply works with an external plug-in or desktop power adapter (not always included). Only use a compatible adapter with the specified voltage, current, and polarity.
• Any use outside the intended application may result in malfunction, fire hazard, or electric shock.
Assembly Requirements (for kit versions only)
• If supplied as a kit, the product is intended for adult users experienced in electronics and modular synthesis.
• Assembly, including soldering, is required.
• Ensure a clean, well-lit and ventilated workspace free of flammable materials during assembly.
• Use appropriate tools and safety equipment, such as eye protection.
Testing (for kit versions only)
• Test the module thoroughly for shorts or incorrect assembly before powering it in your Eurorack system.
• Incorrectly assembled modules may damage the entire Eurorack system. Test in a separate case with only the single module whenever possible.
• Use a multimeter or other appropriate tools to confirm proper functionality.
Installation and Use
• Disconnect the external power adapter from mains before installation or maintenance.
• Mount the power supply securely inside the case using suitable screws and spacers to avoid mechanical stress or short circuits.
• Ensure correct polarity and orientation when connecting modules. Incorrect connection may damage modules or the entire system.
• Do not exceed the maximum current ratings for each power rail.
• Ensure sufficient ventilation inside the case to prevent overheating.
• Route cables carefully to avoid kinks, pinching, or contact with sharp edges.
• Only use original or manufacturer-approved external power adapters.
Warnings
• Risk of electric shock: the product operates with voltages supplied from mains-powered adapters. Never touch live contacts.
• Risk of fire: overloading, blocked ventilation, or defective components can cause overheating.
• Risk of damage: incorrect polarity or overvoltage may permanently damage modules or the power supply.
• Short circuit hazard: prevent contacts or busboard rails from touching conductive objects.
• Small parts may pose a choking hazard. Keep away from children and pets.
• Do not open, modify, or repair the product yourself. Improper handling may cause injury or permanent damage.
Storage and Cleaning
• Store the product in a dry, cool place away from moisture and extreme temperatures.
• Disconnect the power adapter before cleaning.
