About the S60

The Antipodes Audio S60 is a compact, high-quality external power supply released in 2020, designed specifically to power Antipodes music servers including the S20, S30, and S40 models. It incorporates an internal HSL80 power supply unit delivering a total of 60 watts across two 12V DC outputs, allowing it to power two devices simultaneously, such as an S30 and S40. The S60 is engineered to provide a very fast, low-impedance power source that significantly enhances the sound quality and performance of the connected servers compared to standard SMPS or third-party linear supplies. Its case is CNC machined from solid alloy and cooled passively without fans, ensuring silent operation. The power supply is switchable for AC input and is designed to maintain speed and excitement in audio playback, with the capability to power demanding devices like the S40 (which can draw up to 30 watts) alongside the S30. Although the S60 was withdrawn from production following the discontinuation of the S20, S30, and S40 servers, it remains a notable component for those systems. The S60 is considered a mid-tier power supply in Antipodes' lineup, with higher-end models like the HSL80-based K50 offering even greater power and dedicated supplies for each board.
