Soft Start

WMD Soft Start: Essential Protection for Your Modular System

The WMD Soft Start is an indispensable utility module for larger Eurorack systems. When a system is powered on, many modules simultaneously draw a massive amount of current (inrush current), which can strain or damage your power supply or cause the system to fail during startup. The Soft Start mitigates this issue by gradually ramping up the power delivery. This reduces the stress on your power supply and ensures that all your valuable modules power up safely and consistently every time.

Key Features:

• Inrush Current Limiting: Prevents dangerous power spikes when turning on your rack.

• Extended Longevity: Protects the capacitors in both your power supply and your modules from premature wear.

• Reliable Booting: Assists systems that struggle to start by managing the initial power draw.

• Simple Integration: Easily installs between your power source and the rest of your busboard distribution.

• Compact Footprint: Provides vital protection while occupying only 4HP of rack space.

Technical Specifications:

• Width: 4HP

• Depth: 25mm

• Capacity: Designed to handle standard Eurorack current loads

• Compatibility: Works with most standard Eurorack busboards and power supplies

• Connection: Interfaces via standard 16-pin power headers
