The A-100 MNT (Mini power supply / bus) is composed of a miniature power supply and system bus, with connectors for four modules. It's designed to be used with a small set-up of just a few modules, in your own custom-designed case. The idea is that then you can use individual A-100 modules - for instance the filters, the filterbank, frequency shifter, sampler, MIDI interface, etc. - as free-standing pieces of equipment, which can easily be integrated with your other instruments or recording equipment.

The power supply provides the usual A-100 system requirements of +12 V and -12 V, and an additional +5 V supply, for the few modules (for instance A-190, A-191) which need it. The maximum current loading capacity totals 100 mA for + / - 12 V and / or 50 mA for the +5 V supply.

The system bus provides connections for four System A-100 modules. As well as the power supply, it also carries "INT.CV" and "INT.GATE" connections (see A-100 manual, main introduction, chapter 3, 'The A-100 signal flow'.).

The A-100 MNT is supplied as standard with an external power supply, which has to be connected to the socket on the MNT's circuit board.
