Greetings,

I just finished wiring up a box of SSL 502's, 522's and 501's series EQ's and Pre's and I can tell you that each "cartridge" requires about 1/2 amp to run. This isn't a wild estimate but an actual fact I learned from having to design a power supply to run these things.

Now, do the math. Each channel has an eq, compressor and pre as well as the power need for routing, the fader pack, etc. A very conservative estimate would be 2 amps per ch. 60ch board would need, say, 120 amps.

Someone tell me if my math is wrong.
