Know before you buy
Standard power supplies often introduce electrical noise into your audio chain. The iPower Elite uses Active Noise Cancellation II to actively filter out EMI and RFI, providing a clean, stable power floor that mimics the performance of a battery.
The iPower Elite is available in 5V, 12V, 15V, and 24V versions. Please check the voltage and polarity requirements of your device to ensure they match the specific model you are purchasing, as the output plug is a standard 5.5x2.1mm center-positive connector.
Yes, the unibody aluminum chassis acts as a built-in heatsink. This allows the unit to dissipate heat efficiently without the need for noisy internal fans, ensuring silent operation.
No, the iPower Elite is designed to provide a single, dedicated power output to one device. Using a splitter or daisy-chaining devices is not recommended, as it can compromise the noise-filtering performance and stability of the power delivery.
The enlarged input and output capacitance provides superior power storage. This ensures that your audio equipment receives a consistent, steady flow of current even during transient peaks in power demand.
