Versatile Power Distribution for Professional Sound Applications
The RapcoHorizon SPD-1 Power Distribution Box is a compact yet powerful solution designed to manage and monitor power for your sound bag or sound cart. Whether you’re recording on location or in a studio, this device simplifies complex power management by supporting both smart and non-smart batteries. With multiple DC inputs, hot-swappable battery functionality, and advanced telemetry monitoring, the SPD-1 ensures your gear stays powered throughout the most demanding production days.
Reliable Power Management for Demanding Productions
Keeping your audio setup powered efficiently is crucial during production. The SPD-1 provides three DC input options, allowing you to seamlessly switch between power sources without interrupting operation. Its hot-swappable design ensures continuous power flow, eliminating downtime when replacing or changing batteries. This reliability is essential for professionals who need consistent performance on set or in the field.
Smart Battery Monitoring for Power Efficiency
The SPD-1 goes beyond simple power distribution by offering detailed telemetry data to help users monitor battery performance. The 1.1” color display provides real-time readings for voltage, current draw, battery temperature, capacity, and cycle count. This data helps operators plan power usage intelligently and prevent unexpected power loss during critical moments. With this level of insight, you can confidently manage your equipment power and maintain optimal performance throughout your shoot.
Professional Control with Locking Switches and Dual Power Circuits
For precise control, the SPD-1 features six unregulated 4-pin Push Power outputs that are Hirose-compatible. These outputs are divided into two separate power circuit groups, allowing users to toggle auxiliary devices on or off independently without interrupting the primary gear. Locking toggle switches further ensure secure and intentional operation, minimizing the risk of accidental power interruptions in fast-paced production environments.
Flexible Mounting and Rugged Build for On-Set Versatility
Designed for professional field use, the SPD-1 includes dual 1/4” threaded mounts and a reversible mounting clip, giving users the flexibility to secure it in multiple orientations. Its rugged construction withstands the rigors of daily production while maintaining a compact footprint that fits easily into sound bags and racks. The operating voltage range of 12V–18V ensures compatibility with a wide variety of professional audio devices and accessories.
Convenient USB Power Options for Modern Workflows
The SPD-1 features a front-facing 5V 2A Type-A USB port, perfect for charging phones, tablets, and smaller recording accessories directly from your power hub. In addition, the USB-C input provides regulated 12V power from wall outlets, ideal for stationary setups or studio sessions where consistent AC power is available. Using a USB-C laptop-style power supply allows you to keep your system powered without draining battery reserves, making the SPD-1 a versatile choice for any professional audio workflow.
