I have a power supply that I changed the cable on that is within the range of. 7.5 to 9 volts but it creates a distorted noise on both my anushri and shruthi ( they work fine with another power supply I have a swicthabke voltage one)
An ideas what could cause this ?
Possibly interference from the wire joins where I soldered 1 lead to another and electrical taped it ?
Also I hae found a power supply locally but it is switchable 9 volt is a setting and it goes up to 1000ma but it is regulated.
I don’t know what the difference is between regulated and unregulated but the wiki talks about unregulated power supplies so is this one ok ?
Regulated: puts out the recommended Voltage with or without load
Unregulated: puts out a higher voltage to ensure that the output matches the recommeded Voltage under load
Disadvantage of unregulated PSU is, that if you use a cheapo 9V/12V it may be possible the output is too high for the regulators and kill them (12V likely/9V less likely, except extreme cheap crap)
Conclusion: buy a regulated, be safe, even if it costs a few bucks more
P.S.: not every PSU is capable for the use with audio devices, sometimes testing is the way to go…
P.P.S.: holy cow, 13 pound for an unregulated PSU ? For this price you can get here in Germany easily a regulated
