Product Information
Full details
The IFI iPowerX is designed for audiophiles and home audio enthusiasts looking to improve the clarity of their sound systems by replacing noisy stock power adapters. It excels at eliminating background interference through advanced Active Noise Cancellation II technology, resulting in a cleaner, more detailed audio performance. While it offers a significant sonic upgrade, it is important to verify that your specific device requires a 12V output to ensure compatibility before purchase.

FAQs
Can I use this with any 12V device?
Yes, provided the device requires 12V and does not exceed a 2.0A current draw.
Does this adapter improve video quality?
The iPowerX is specifically engineered for audio applications to reduce noise floors and interference.
What is the benefit of Active Noise Cancellation II?
It actively measures the noise floor and generates an inverse signal to cancel out that noise, which is much more effective than passive filtering alone.
Is the polarity adjustable?
The iPowerX typically supports center-positive configurations. Always check the specific polarity requirement of your gear.
Does it produce heat during use?
It may become warm during operation, which is normal for high-performance power electronics. Ensure there is adequate airflow around the unit.
Are the included tips interchangeable with other IFI power supplies?
Many of the IFI barrel tips are designed for their power supply series, but you should only use those included with your specific package.
Troubleshooting
No power to the connected device
Ensure the barrel tip is pushed firmly into the device jack and that the wall outlet is providing power.
Humming noise still present
Check your signal cables (RCA or XLR) for ground loops, as the power supply only addresses power-born interference, not signal-born ground loops.
Device flickers or powers off
Verify the device does not draw more than 2.0A of current, which is the maximum capacity of the iPowerX.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Significantly lower noise floor compared to standard wall-wart adapters
- Improved soundstage transparency and detail retrieval
- Solid, durable build quality with audiophile-grade components
- High versatility with multiple included barrel adapters
Cons
- Specific to 12V devices only
- Higher cost compared to basic power supply replacements
- The physical size of the adapter may block adjacent outlets
Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Verify Voltage: Ensure your device explicitly requires a 12V input. Using this on a device requiring higher or lower voltage can cause damage.
- Check Polarity: Always verify your device uses a center-positive configuration, which is standard for most audio gear, but check your manual.
- Select Tip: Choose the appropriate barrel tip from the included set that fits your device's power jack.
- Placement: Plug the iPowerX directly into your wall outlet or power conditioner for best results. Avoid daisy-chaining multiple adapters if possible.
- Care: Keep the unit in a well-ventilated area to maintain optimal capacitor health. Use a dry cloth to clean the exterior if it accumulates dust.
