PowerStar Mini tm
Quiet Power Distribition for ENG

The new PSC PowerStar Mini power distribution system provides a convenient way of
distributing clean, quiet, reliable 12Vdc power to all of your ENG audio equipment from a single
rechargeable battery. The PSC PowerStar Mini features six outputs. Each of these outputs isdesigned to deliver up to 3 amps of continuous current. The PowerStar Mini has a global (total)
current limit of 5 amps. A top panel mounted lighted power switch controls the entire operation.
This power switch will light up green when powered up and will light up red if the main 5 amp
polyfuse has been tripped. This power switch always controls five of the six output powerconnectors. The sixth connector may be controlled by this power switch or left un-switched(always on). This sixth connector is conveniently marked with a blue ring surrounding theconnector. Internally, there is a small jumper to select switched or un-switched operation forthis connector.
The PowerStar Mini features PSC’s exclusive Silent Power Technology designed to filter out
unwanted switch mode noise and RF interference from your power lines. These exclusive PSC
filters will ensure you of clean, quiet recordings in the field by minimizing unwanted intermodulation noise, RF interference and other noise sources. Our RF filtering will provide better
than 34dB of RF isolation between outputs from 100Mhz to 900Mhz, the best in the industry. Inaddition, each of the PSC PowerStar Mini’s six output connectors are individually polyfuse
protected and monitored for short circuits. Convenient front panel status LED’s indicated an
overloaded output. Power input is via a 4 pin mini XLR connector. Optional NP-1 battery cupand an assortment of PSC power cables are available. The PowerStar Mini features reverse
polarity protection, genuine Switchcraft tm connectors, a sturdy aircraft aluminum case, toughpowder coat finish and a removable stainless steel belt clip.

POWERSTAR MINI USE:
The PSC PowerStar Mini uses a Switchcraft mini 4 pin male chassis XLR for power input. Thisconnector is wired as follows: Pins 1 and 2 are negative (-) ground and pins 3 and 4 arepositive (+). These pins are doubled up for redundancy and to lower connection impedance.
The six output connectors are genuine Switchcraft tm coaxial power connectors. They feature a
2.5mm center pin and special threaded locking sleeve. They are wired as follows: Center Pin
Positive (+) and Outside Ring Negative (-). These connectors must be used with long barrel
2.5mm mating connectors. All cables provided by PSC incorporate these features.
The sixth output connector is surrounded by a blue ring. We suggest you use this connector topower your audio mixer. It can be either switched or un-switched (always on) Within the PSC
PowerStar Mini there is a small jumper that allows this connector to operate as switched or unswitched.

PSC is the only company to provide you with Quiet Power Technology tm. Simply put, weunderstand the delicate power requirements of today’s precision audio equipment. In order toinsure clean, quiet power delivery to your audio equipment, we design and install power filtering
into every output connection in all of our power distribution products. Though very compact insize, even our PowerStar Mini incorporates filtering on each output. These filters provide better
than 34dB of RF isolation between outputs form 100Mhz to 900Mhz. This will provide the userwith cleaner, quieter power.
These filters will help minimize intermodulation noise, RFinterference and other noise sources from ruining your recordings. While not always required,
isn’t it a good idea to be prepared for the worst case scenario? At PSC, we think so.
BELT CLIP:
The PSC PowerStar Mini is equipped with a removable stainless steel belt clip. If you decide toremove the belt clip, please keep the screws for later re-use. Use of longer than standard
screws may damage the PowerStar Mini.

REVERSE POLARITY POTECTION:
The PSC PowerStar Mini is equipped with a heavy duty reverse polarity diode. Used inconjunction with a polyfuse, this will protect your equipment in the unlikely event that you
somehow reverse the polarity of the input power connection.
OPTIONAL NP-1 BATTERY CUP:
Also available from PSC is an optional NP-1 Battery Cup for use with your new PSC PowerStarMini.
This NP-1 battery cup comes pre-wired with a TA4F connector for use with thePowerStar Mini.
