E-MU 0202

[Tyimo]

Hi!

I know that the E-MU 0202 is very similar (in sound quality) to it's biger brother the Tracker Pre or the 0404.

My problem is: it has no DC power outlet and it is powered via USB what is sometimes could be noisy etc. Is it possible to modifcate the 0202 that it can powered with a good quality external PSU?

I mean can I use a DC connector and connect it inside to the circuit?

Hi Vortecjr!

Yes. I would use it with a Netbook.

 

 

P.S.: I don't know how to edit my text here.... :-(

ok then don't worry about the power so much just run the unit with the computers internal battery and that should help improve the sound. So just unplug the computer from the wall charger and you have a free upgrade.

I thought that you will suggest this. :-)

But anyway, thanks!

 

The question remains the same: is it possible to connect the DC input to the USB input connector?

Could try a USB hub and connect a HQ power supply to that to power the EMu 0202

Hi Eloise!

Thanks.

In this case the E-Mu would get from two different source the power... Hmmm, I don't know is it good or not. But I will try one time.

I maybe wrong (I am occasionally) but I think if you use a powered USB hub, the incomming power (from the PC) is broken and new power source is injected onto the USB cable - rather than PC and new powe supply being combined.

Yes, maybe it is true and works.

Thanks.

 

I would like to know how the Tracker Pre recognize that the power is coming from the USB or from the DC connector?

I could connect the external DC to the USB's 1-st and 4-th pin.
