Critical Tattoo Supply, headquartered in the United States, has seen a steady increase in sales over the past few years, thanks to the introduction of new power supplies and footswitch products in the tattoo industry.
And now, Critical has released a wireless battery and footswitch!
Critical Universal Battery
Would you like to turn your favorite rotary tattoo machine "wireless"?
The Critical Universal Battery is compatible with most rotary tattoo machines. It provides an ergonomic, balanced user interface for comfortable work. No cables or power supply are needed.
This battery pack is equipped with a critical core that provides a consistently stable voltage output. Depending on the machine and voltage used, it can operate continuously for over 10 hours.
Furthermore, it has a built-in "magnetic base", allowing for easy access during a session.
Critical XRR & CXP19
Next, we introduce the XRR (power supply) and CXP (footswitch) from the same manufacturer.
Critical XRR Power Supply
The XRR (power supply) features a capacitive touch UI for smart operation! While the sleek design is a welcome feature, the touch panel has minimal irregularities, making it easy to cover the XRR for hygiene purposes. This product also has a function that records how long it has been in operation (volts, amps, speed, settling, etc.) per hour.
It also comes with a jump start mode option, of course. When used with a rotary tattoo machine, it provides a more stable needle stroke.
The XRR has two independent input spaces, allowing artists to connect two tattoo machines to this power supply simultaneously. You can also run the CXP19 (footswitch) using the XRR without cables.
Critical CXP19 Wireless Foot Pedal
As mentioned earlier, the XPR (power supply) and CXP (footswitch) are a perfect match.
The CXP19 connects wirelessly to the XRR. However, if necessary, you can also connect the CXP19 with a standard clip cord.
Moreover, you can run multiple CXP19 pedals in one area, so you don't have to worry about wireless connection issues in a tattoo studio or at conventions.
Compared to previous models, the unit is equipped with a shield to prevent debris from entering. Additionally, the bottom has been updated to rubber to prevent slipping. It will likely stay in place during a session.
