Complete guide: Power Supply Hummingbird Bronc M3
The Hummingbird Bronc Model 3 digital power supply is a tattoo machine power supply with a color LCD screen that displays real-time output voltage, frequency, and load percentage/current. It features dual voltage outputs, allowing you to connect two machines simultaneously—for example, one for lining and one for shading—each independently adjustable within the 3-18V range. It operates on universal input 90-240V AC, 50-60Hz, so it works with outlets outside Romania without an additional transformer. The housing is made of durable engineering plastic with a textured finish, and the touch panel can be used even with gloves—handy during a tattoo session.
How to use
- Connect the power cable to the outlet—the power supply accepts 90-240V AC, 50-60Hz, without an additional transformer.
- Connect the tattoo machine via clipcord or RCA, depending on your machine's connector type (rotary, pen, or coil).
- Turn on the power supply and set the desired voltage from the touch panel, within the 3-18V range; the panel responds even with protective gloves on.
- Monitor the color LCD screen for output voltage, real-time frequency, and displayed load percentage/current to confirm the correct setting.
- If working with two machines simultaneously (liner + shader), connect each to one output of the power supply and adjust the voltage separately for each.
- Connect the foot pedal for foot control; if you prefer continuous operation without a pedal, use the Jump Start mode.
- At the end of the session, turn off the power supply, disconnect the clipcord/RCA and power cable, then sanitize the housing according to the steps below.
- Store the power supply in a dry place, away from dust and moisture, with cables neatly coiled.
Tips from us
- Use disposable protective barriers on the housing and clipcord cable during the session to allow quick sanitization between clients without exposing electronics to liquids.
- Periodically check the condition of the clipcord/RCA cable and connectors—a weak connection can cause voltage fluctuations at the machine.
- Keep the power supply away from direct moisture and liquid splashes, even if the circuit board has anti-corrosion coating.
- If powering two machines simultaneously, remember which output corresponds to the liner and which to the shader to avoid reversing voltage settings.
- Keep the original packaging and invoice for the warranty period.
- When transporting, protect the LCD screen from scratches and impacts—it is the most sensitive component of the power supply.
Warning: The power supply operates with electrical voltage and is used near the client—protect it with disposable barriers and avoid contact with liquids (blood, disinfectant, water). Do not connect or disconnect clipcord/RCA while the power supply is on and under voltage. For cleaning, spray disinfectant on a cloth (not directly on the device) and avoid ports and the LCD screen. Turn off and unplug the power supply from the outlet before any maintenance operation.
Frequently asked questions
How do I sanitize the power supply between clients?▾
Do not submerge the power supply in liquid and do not spray disinfectant directly on the housing or screen. Apply disposable protective barriers on the housing and clipcord cable before the session, and at the end wipe the external surfaces with a cloth dampened (not soaked) with a disinfectant solution compatible with electronic equipment, avoiding connection ports and the touch panel.
Which tattoo machines is it compatible with?▾
It has standard clipcord and RCA connections, making it compatible with most professional tattoo machines—rotary, pen, and coil. Check your machine's connector type before choosing the cable linking the machine to the power supply.
Can I power two machines simultaneously from the same power supply?▾
Yes—the power supply has dual voltage output, specifically designed to connect two machines at once, for example one for lining and one for shading, each with its own voltage adjustment.
What is the difference between the Bronc Model 3 and previous models (1 and 2)?▾
According to the manufacturer, the differences are mainly in design and ergonomics: a new, more compact housing, premium-feel materials, a new-generation LCD screen with improved visibility, and a redesigned control panel for faster interaction.
Does the power supply work with outlets from other countries?▾
Yes, it accepts universal input voltage 90-240V AC at 50-60Hz, so it can be used internationally without an additional transformer.
What warranty does the product have?▾
It benefits from the legal warranty according to Romanian legislation. It is recommended to keep the original packaging and invoice for any claims during the warranty period.
