Complete guide: Power Supply Hummingbird Bronc M1 White
The Hummingbird Bronc model 1 digital power supply is a professional tattoo machine power supply, with an LCD screen that displays voltage in real time and fine adjustment in the 3-18V range. With an output power of 68W and a maximum current of 3A (accuracy 0.1A), it covers both rotary and coil machines, connected via clipcord or RCA. It is a suitable choice for both beginning artists and studios that want reliable equipment in a clean, white finish with built-in overload protection.
How to use
- Place the power supply on a stable, dry surface in the work area and plug it into the mains via the adapter — it accepts universal input voltage 90-240V AC, 50/60Hz, so you do not need an additional transformer.
- Connect the tattoo machine to the power supply via clipcord or RCA cable, depending on your machine's connection type.
- If you work with a foot pedal, connect it to the power supply; if you prefer, you can use continuous mode, where the machine runs without a pedal.
- Turn on the power supply and adjust the voltage with the +/- keys, following the value displayed on the LCD screen. Start at a low voltage and increase gradually until the machine runs stably, within the 3-18V range.
- To save a preset voltage: press the preset button, adjust the desired voltage with the +/- keys, then hold down the preset voltage button for 3 seconds. You have 6 presets available.
- If you want to track the session duration, activate the built-in timer for the work session.
- Before starting work on a client, test the machine "dry" for a few seconds to confirm it runs steadily at the set voltage.
- At the end of the session, turn off the power supply, unplug it, and remove the protective barrier used on it.
Tips from us
- Save the voltages you use most often in the 6 presets (for example, the line setting and the shade setting) — switch instantly from one to the other without adjusting manually each time.
- Cover the power supply and control panel with barrier film before each client — the touch panel is a surface you touch frequently during work.
- Periodically check the condition of the clipcord/RCA cable and connectors: a loose contact causes inconsistent machine operation that can be confused with a power supply defect.
- If the overload protection shuts down power, do not insist with repeated restarts — first identify and eliminate the cause (defective cable, short circuit, problematic machine), then restart the power supply.
- Keep the power supply away from containers with liquids (water, disinfectant, ink caps with diluent) — it is electrical equipment and accidental spillage can damage it.
- Keep your proof of purchase: the product benefits from a 1-year warranty.
Warning: The power supply is part of the work area and must be treated as a potentially contaminated surface: cover it with barrier film for each client and disinfect touched surfaces between sessions with a surface disinfectant applied to a cloth, not sprayed directly on the device. Do not handle the power supply with the gloves used on the client without a barrier — you risk cross-contamination. Being electrical equipment, do not use it with damaged cables, do not expose it to liquids and unplug it before cleaning.
Frequently asked questions
Is it compatible with my rotary or coil machine?▾
Yes. The power supply offers adjustable output 3-18V, 68W power and a maximum current of 3A, which covers the requirements of rotary, pen and coil machines. Connection is via clipcord or RCA, the standards used by professional tattoo machines, so just check what type of connector your machine has and use the appropriate cable.
How do I sanitize the power supply between clients?▾
The safest method is prevention: wrap the power supply (or at least the control panel) in barrier film before the session and discard it at the end. Between clients, wipe the touched surfaces with a surface disinfectant applied to a cloth. Do not spray liquid directly on the device and do not clean it while it is plugged in.
Can I work without a foot pedal?▾
Yes. The power supply has two operating modes: with foot pedal, where the machine runs only while the pedal is pressed, and continuous mode, where the machine runs permanently until you stop it. Continuous mode is preferred by many artists on rotary machines because it eliminates a cable and an object from the studio floor.
How do I save a preset voltage and how many presets do I have?▾
You have 6 voltage presets. Press the preset button, adjust the desired voltage with the +/- keys, then hold down the preset voltage button for 3 seconds to save it. After that you can quickly switch between saved settings, useful when alternating between lines and shades in the same session.
Does it work on outlets in other countries if I go to a convention?▾
Yes. The input voltage is universal, 90-240V AC at 50/60Hz, so the power supply can be used anywhere without an additional transformer. You need at most a physical plug adapter for countries with a different plug format.
What warranty does it have and what do I do if it shuts down by itself while working?▾
The product has a 1-year warranty. If it shuts down by itself, most likely the overload protection has intervened, which cuts off power when the current exceeds the safety limit. Check the cables and machine, eliminate the cause, then restart the power supply — if the problem persists without a visible cause, contact us for warranty instead of continuing to use it.
