I have a cab with a replacement monitor that's powered directly from the mains. The iso that was required for the original monitor is still there, so I'm thinking of powering the monitor off that instead. The iso voltage is in the range that can be used to power the monitor, according to the manual.

Just checking to hear if there's any reason I can't or shouldn't do this?

Cheers

There is a wise saying …….

If it ain’t broke ….. why change anything to try and ‘fix’ it ??

If it’s an earth required chassis labelled mains or ‘free voltage’ L N E just use mains

Removing the unused iso xformer will make the cabinet lighter when you need lift it up a step 😜

Using the iso would just let me tidy the wiring up a bit, as the mains tap for the monitor is kind of a bodge job. It'd give the iso something to do, too. Haha

The manual just states input voltage 100-264vac. I did notice that there's a wire coming off the chassis that connects to the monitor frame. Does that mean I shouldn't use an iso?

That'll be an earth wire and it must be a Hantarex Polo monitor?

No, it's one I've never heard of. It's a TOVIS MTG 2901CN, also known as Happ Vision Pro.

I figured the wire was earth, but after 69er says use mains if it's an earth required chassis, I'm unsure if I should use the iso, now.
