Product overview
The SCHOEPS PSD 42 is an AES42 powering box with digital output for the CMD 42 and the SuperCMIT.
It powers AES42 digital microphones and converts their AES42 signal to an AES3 output. The PSD 42 comes with an AC adapter, PSD DC (90-240 V, 50/60 Hz), in an EU or USA version, which connects to a 4-pin socket next to the status LED.
Introduced in 2024 as the revised successor of the PSD 2U, it offers better support of sample rates up to 192 kHz. For devices with a coaxial AES3 id input, an adapter cable with 110 ohm cable can be used: XLR pin 1 shield, pin 2 (+), pin 3 (-); on the BNC/RCA side the centre pin is (+) and the outer ring (-), with the shield not used.
