FAQs
What kind of power cables do I need?
You will need standard DC power cables with the correct polarity (center-negative) and barrel connector to connect your pedals to the Macro Power S8. These cables are not included.
How do I choose the right voltage for my pedals?
Check the specifications of your pedals. Most pedals use 9V DC, but some may require 12V, 15V, or 18V. The Macro Power S8 has an adjustable output to accommodate these variations.
Can I use the parallel outputs for different voltage pedals?
No. The parallel outputs are intended to provide more current at 9V. Using them with different voltages can damage your pedals.
What happens if I connect a pedal that draws too much current?
The over-current protection will activate, shutting down the affected output to protect your pedals and the power supply. You'll need to disconnect some pedals or use a different output.
Is the Mooer Audio Macro Power S8 compatible with all pedals?
It is compatible with most standard guitar effects pedals. However, some high-current draw pedals may require more power than the Macro Power S8 can provide. Always check the current requirements of your pedals.
Can I use the Macro Power S8 with a different voltage input?
Yes, it supports both 110-120V and 220-240V AC, which makes it suitable for use worldwide. Make sure the input voltage switch is set correctly.
Troubleshooting
No power to pedals.
Check that the power supply is connected to a working AC outlet, the input voltage switch is set correctly, and the power supply is switched on. Also check the power cables.
Excessive noise or hum.
Ensure that your pedals are connected to isolated outputs, and that the power cables are in good condition. Try a different power outlet or isolate the power supply from other electrical devices.
A pedal is not working.
Verify that the pedal is connected to the correct voltage output. Check that the pedal's current draw does not exceed the output's capacity. Try a different output.
Power supply shuts off.
This is likely due to over-current protection. Disconnect some of the pedals, or ensure the pedals connected do not exceed the current limit of the output jack.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Connecting Pedals: Use the appropriate DC power cables (not included) to connect your pedals to the power supply.
- Voltage Selection: Use the voltage selector on the power supply to choose the correct voltage for each pedal (9V/12V/15V/18V) if applicable.
- Current Requirements: Ensure that the current draw of your pedals does not exceed the maximum current output of each jack.
- AC Input Voltage: Set the input voltage switch to match your local power supply (110-120V or 220-240V).
- Placement: Place the power supply on your pedalboard, ensuring adequate space for cable routing and ventilation.
*Compatibility:* The Mooer Audio Macro Power S8 is compatible with most standard 9V, 12V, 15V, and 18V guitar effects pedals that use a standard DC power connection.
