Kratos V2 is a linear dual-rail voltage regulator developed for audio systems that require regulated supply rails, high output current, and selectable voltage configuration. Relative to a passive filtering stage, its role is more specific: it is designed to provide controlled DC output rather than only energy storage and ripple reduction.

The board accepts up to +56, 0, -56 Vdc at the input and provides selectable output voltages of 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, and 48 Vdc. This makes the platform suitable where the supply target must be matched to different operating conditions without redesigning the power stage around a single fixed rail voltage.

Maximum output current is specified at 9 A and maximum TDP at 800 W. The old product material also identifies the regulator as being built around 10 MOSFETs, which is consistent with the board’s positioning as a higher-power regulated supply platform rather than a small signal or low-current regulator.

Protection behavior is a central part of the V2 design. Kratos V2 is specified as protected against inverse input polarity, input overvoltage, and output short circuit. This combination indicates that the board was designed not only for voltage control, but also for fault tolerance in more demanding operating environments.

The output stage includes 16,000 uF of capacitance, with a specified capacitor Vloss of 0.2%. Together with the regulation stage, that local energy storage supports load stability and short-term delivery when the connected circuit draws current dynamically.

The board measures 121.5 mm x 120 mm. In overall terms, Kratos V2 is a high-power linear regulator intended for applications where rail selection, current capability, and protection against supply faults are primary design requirements.
