Ferrum Power Splitter at Vinyl Sound Buffalo, New York

The Ferrum Power Splitter is an accessory from Ferrum Audio (Warsaw, Poland) that enables a single HYPSOS Single Output power supply to simultaneously power two compatible DC-powered audio components, available at Vinyl Sound in Buffalo, New York. The Power Splitter connects to the HYPSOS output and distributes DC power to two devices via individual cables, extending the HYPSOS's versatility for multi-component desktop systems. A 0.5-metre Ferrum Power Link cable is included in the box, and the combined power consumption of both connected devices must not exceed 80 W and 6 A at the selected output voltage. The Power Splitter is the entry-level path to dual-component HYPSOS powering, with the HYPSOS Dual Output offering an integrated alternative for users who require two outputs as a permanent system configuration.

How the Ferrum Power Splitter Works

The Ferrum Power Splitter connects to the DC output of the HYPSOS Single Output and provides two output cables for supplying the same regulated voltage to two separate audio components. Both connected devices receive the same voltage simultaneously, as the HYPSOS Single Output provides a single regulated voltage that is shared at the splitter. Combined power consumption of both connected devices must remain within the HYPSOS's rated limits of 80 W maximum continuous output power above 13.3 V and 6 A maximum continuous current. The 4T Sensing Design via the FPL cable remains active on one output of the Power Splitter, providing sensing-corrected voltage delivery to the primary connected Ferrum component. The second output operates as a conventional regulated DC supply without FPL sensing. When using Sweet Spot Tuning on the HYPSOS with the splitter in circuit, voltage optimisation applies to both connected devices simultaneously.

Key Features

• Dual-Component HYPSOS Powering: Enables a single HYPSOS Single Output to power two audio components simultaneously without purchasing a second power supply, reducing system cost and mains connection count.
• Ferrum Power Link Cable Included: A 0.5-metre Ferrum Power Link FPL cable is included in the box, allowing immediate 4T Sensing Design connection to the primary Ferrum component without a separate cable purchase.
• Custom Cable Options Available: Additional DC cables in different lengths and connector sizes are available to order from Vinyl Sound Buffalo, accommodating OOR, WANDLA, ERCO Gen 2, and third-party components with various DC input specifications.
• Shared Voltage Operation: Both outputs provide the same voltage as set on the HYPSOS, making the Power Splitter appropriate for combinations of two components that accept the same operating voltage.
• Compatible with All HYPSOS Single Output Units: The Power Splitter connects to the standard DC output of any HYPSOS Single Output and does not require hardware modification of the supply.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Ferrum Power Splitter?

The Ferrum Power Splitter is an accessory from Ferrum Audio in Warsaw, Poland, that allows a single HYPSOS Single Output power supply to power two audio components simultaneously. It connects to the HYPSOS's DC output and distributes the regulated voltage to two devices via individual cables, with a 0.5-metre Ferrum Power Link FPL cable included in the box. It is available at Vinyl Sound in Buffalo, New York.

How does the Ferrum Power Splitter differ from the HYPSOS Dual Output?

The Ferrum Power Splitter is an add-on accessory for the HYPSOS Single Output, while the HYPSOS Dual Output integrates two output terminals directly into the power supply chassis. The Power Splitter allows existing HYPSOS Single Output owners to power two components without replacing their supply. The HYPSOS Dual Output provides a cleaner integrated solution for users setting up a new system who know they need two outputs from the start. Both share the same fundamental operation: one regulated voltage distributed to two components. The HYPSOS Dual Output's combined maximum output power is 60 W, compared to the HYPSOS Single Output's 80 W, which means the Single Output with Power Splitter offers slightly higher total available power for demanding component combinations.

What components can be powered simultaneously with the Power Splitter?

The Power Splitter can power any two DC-powered audio components that both accept the same operating voltage and whose combined power consumption does not exceed 80 W and 6 A. Common Ferrum system configurations include OOR plus WANDLA, OOR plus ERCO Gen 2, or WANDLA plus a network streamer. Third-party components compatible with the HYPSOS voltage range can also be combined, provided they accept the same voltage as the primary Ferrum component. OOR and WANDLA both typically operate at 24 V, making them a natural pair. When using the Power Splitter with components requiring different voltages, a separate HYPSOS or a standard DC adapter for the second component will be needed.

Does the Power Splitter require any additional cables beyond what is included?

The included 0.5-metre Ferrum Power Link FPL cable connects the primary Ferrum component with 4T Sensing. For the secondary output, a separate DC cable in the correct connector size for the second component is required and is not included in the box. Additional DC cables in lengths of 0.5, 1, 1.5, and 2 metres are available to order from Vinyl Sound Buffalo in 5.5 x 2.5 mm connector size. Custom lengths and alternative connector sizes are also available by request.
