FAQs

Can I use the iPower2 with any device?

No, you must ensure the voltage (e.g., 5V, 12V) exactly matches your device's requirements and that the amperage provided is equal to or higher than what the device needs.

Is the iPower2 a linear power supply?

The iPower2 uses advanced switching technology that is optimized for audio to be quieter than most linear supplies without the weight and heat issues.

How do I know which polarity I need?

Check the power input label on your audio device for a small icon indicating a circle with a dot; it will show either a plus or minus sign connecting to the center dot.

Does it improve sound quality?

By removing electrical noise, it allows for a lower noise floor, which typically results in better micro-detail, improved imaging, and clearer sound.

Can I use it for equipment outside of audio?

While intended for audio, it can be used for any DC-powered device that falls within the voltage and current specifications, provided the barrel size matches.

Troubleshooting

Device does not power on when connected.

Verify that you have used the correct barrel adapter and that the polarity (center-positive/negative) matches your device's input requirements.

Hum or noise is still audible.

Ensure the power cable is not running parallel to signal cables and confirm that the device is not experiencing ground loop interference from other connected components.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Noticeable reduction in background hiss and static
  • Compact and lightweight form factor
  • Includes essential adapters for various DC barrel sizes
  • Sophisticated Active Noise Cancellation II technology

Cons

  • Not universal; specific voltage must match device
  • Requires careful planning of polarity and barrel size
  • Higher cost compared to generic replacement power bricks

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before connecting the iPower2, verify the DC output voltage and current requirements (Amps) of your target device. Ensure the barrel size is compatible; while the unit comes with a set of adapters, some proprietary sockets may require an additional cable. To connect, attach the appropriate barrel adapter to the iPower2 output cable, observing the polarity marks. Always check for the 'center-positive' or 'center-negative' symbol on your device's back panel. If the device requires center-negative, attach the included reverse polarity adapter. Keep the unit in a well-ventilated area and avoid bunching the power cord tightly to maintain longevity.
