Looking to buy a power supply for bench testing. Anyone know the power spec. for the RNS-E?

Anyone suggest a certain power supply?

My 5A const/7A surge PSU is fine with the RNS-E only but if I have the cluster and a couple more devices connected it overheats. A 10A PSU should be sufficient, I'm usually using an old PC PSU when I need more devices but it's somehow noisy due to the fan. The fuse in the RNS-E is 15A, that should be the max power you need if you use the internal speaker out for something.

It is usually around 3 amps, then the bluetooth, sat, tv tuner, etc add about 1 amp each. Of course this would vary depending on coding for BOSE, etc.

Thanks. I've done a little research. I'm gonna build a bench power supply from an old PC PSU. I think the 12V is usually 10+ Amps.

Here is a link if anyone is interested in building one.

I use a 12V leisure battery, not sure how long it would last for constant use.
