FAQs
Does the iPower2 work with all audio devices?
It is compatible with most DC-powered devices provided the voltage and amperage requirements are matched and the polarity is correct.
How do I know which voltage version to buy?
Check the label on your audio device or its original power supply for 'Output' specifications, which will list the required voltage (V) and current (A).
What is Active Noise Cancellation II?
It is a technology that actively detects electrical noise and generates an identical but inverted signal to cancel it out, leaving only clean power.
Is this safe to use with my laptop?
Yes, provided the laptop requires a DC input voltage supported by your specific iPower2 model and the current draw is within limits.
Can I use the iPower2 in different countries?
The iPower2 is a universal input power supply (100-240V AC), making it suitable for global use with an appropriate wall plug adapter.
Troubleshooting
Device connected to iPower2 will not power on
Verify the voltage requirement of your device matches the iPower2 rating and check that the barrel plug is fully inserted.
Persistent hum or noise remains
Ensure you are using the correct polarity adapter if your device requires center-negative power.
Power supply feels warm to the touch
The unit is designed to dissipate heat; however, ensure there is adequate airflow around the unit and it is not covered.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Significantly lower noise floor compared to stock power supplies
- Effective elimination of EMI and RFI interference
- High-quality build with robust wiring
- Includes essential polarity-switching adapters
- Noticeable improvement in audio clarity and soundstage
Cons
- Requires careful voltage matching with source equipment
- Higher price point than generic power adapters
- May not provide audible benefits on equipment with already excellent internal power regulation
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your iPower2, identify the required voltage (e.g., 5V, 9V, 12V, or 15V) and current draw of your audio device. It is critical to match these specifications exactly to prevent hardware damage. Insert the power supply into a standard wall outlet and connect the appropriate barrel plug to your device. If your device uses center-negative polarity, attach the included reverse polarity adapter. To ensure longevity, keep the unit in a well-ventilated area away from extreme heat sources. If you need to clean the exterior, use a soft, dry cloth; do not use liquid cleaners or solvents.
