Product Description
The
SANYO KBC-9V3U Pedal Juice™ is equipped with a high-capacity SANYO
eneloop rechargeable lithium-ion battery technology which provides
stable, long-lasting 9V power for music effects devices. SANYO is
recognized as the leading manufacturer of Li-Ion batteries in the world
today. SANYO battery products are used for many commercial/industrial
applications today ranging from automotive, power tools, portable
computers and telecommunications. Pedal Juice is built upon this legacy
of industry leadership.
Up to 50 Hours of Continuous, Quiet, Clean, Stable Power – from the First Note to the Last
Stage
and studio recording musicians often need to replace the 9V batteries
well before they have been exhausted, in order to prevent any
disruption during a musical performance. This only results in users
having to purchase, and then discard costly, single-use, alkaline
batteries. The sound quality also deteriorates when the battery voltage
falls below the proper operating range of an effects box. Now, the
SANYO Pedal JuiceTM, KBC-9V3U provides users with up to 50 hours of
continuous, quiet, clean, stable power, even as the battery drains. It
can be fully recharged in only 3.5 hours using the included AC adaptor.
Eliminates AC Ground Loops - So Your Tone Comes Through Loud and Clear
Many
effects boxes, graphic equalizers, portable amps, and recorder products
operate using a 9-volt DC power source. AC adapters and 9V dry-cell
batteries are the typical sources used to power these types of devices.
There are a number of reasons why 9V dry-cell batteries and AC power
are not preferred methods for powering musical electronic products.
First, musicians must set up their gear near to AC electrical outlets.
AC power may inadvertently add electrical noise interference (i.e., AC
ground loops, spurious noise, hum, etc.) into be desired signal path.
With a 500mA load, a typical AC adapter introduces much more ripple
noise into the signal path as compared to the clean power produced by
Pedal Juice.
Two 9V DC outputs - Power Multiple Devices; Pedals, Multi-Effect Units, and Portable Recorders
The
KBC-9V3U is equipped with a high-capacity rechargeable lithium-ion
battery, providing a stable and long-lasting 9V power source for analog
and digital effects units and other electronic music gear. The unit
includes two separate DC outputs on the back with cables supplied for
easy connectivity.
Rechargeable Many Times – Save Money and the Environment
Compared
to conventional 9V batteries which lose voltage quickly and must be
discarded, Pedal Juice maintains its power level over long periods of
time and can be recharged hundreds of times. The KBC-9V3U is built to
withstand the most demanding power applications for stage and studio
performances. Pedal Juice can power a 10mA effects pedal for up to 50
hours, or a 100mA pedal board for up to 27 hours. With a 500mA current
draw (more typical in large multi-effects applications, or in powering
synthesizers and multi-track recorders), Pedal Juice can provide steady
9V DC power for almost five hours compared a 9V battery which will
operate for about 30 minutes time.
Power Status LED Indicator
A
three-stage power indicator makes it easy to see the remaining battery
power level. The LED light changes color in three stages from green
(over 60% power remaining), to orange (30% to 60% remaining), to red
(less than 30%). This enables musicians to see the battery level, at a
glance, during their performances.
Convenient One-Button ON/OFF Power Switch for All Effects
TThe
KBC-9V3U includes an ON/OFF power switch which allows the user to
easily to turn the power of all connected music effects devices ON or
OFF at once. This is a convenient feature since many effects devices do
not include their ON/OFF power switch and must be manually unplugged
from AC power.
Water and Shock Resistant - JIS IPX3 Compliant Water Resistant Enclosure 
The
portable, rugged, and road-worthy design of the SANYO Pedal Juice will
meet the challenge of the most demanding band gig and touring
environments. Pedal Juice has achieved a JIS IPX3 water resistant
compliance level rating. IPX3 is a Japanese testing standard for water
resistance which states that no damage will occur when water is sprayed
at a vertical angle of up to 60 degrees from both sides. The durability
of Pedal Juice will ease the mind of the working musician who performs
in nightclubs and outdoor settings.
