The iPower2 also includes a center negative adapter for devices requiring inverted polarity. Consult your device's manual for polarity requirements.

4. Operating Instructions

The iFi iPower2 operates automatically once connected. It continuously works to filter out electrical noise from your power supply, providing a cleaner direct current to your connected device. No user intervention is required during operation.

Active Noise Cancellation II Technology

The iPower2 incorporates Active Noise Cancellation II (ANC II) technology. This system generates a signal identical to the incoming electrical noise but in the opposite phase, effectively canceling out the noise. This results in a significantly quieter noise floor, enhancing the clarity and detail of your audio or video experience.

5. Maintenance

The iFi iPower2 requires minimal maintenance. Follow these guidelines to ensure its longevity:

  • Keep the unit clean and free from dust. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.
  • Avoid exposing the unit to extreme temperatures, humidity, or direct sunlight.
  • Do not attempt to open or service the unit yourself. This will void the warranty.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your iPower2, please refer to the following troubleshooting steps:

  • No Power to Device:
    • Ensure the iPower2 is securely plugged into a working wall outlet.
    • Verify that the correct adapter is firmly connected to your device and the iPower2.
    • Check your device's power indicator to confirm it is receiving power.
  • Noise Still Present:
    • Confirm that the iPower2's voltage (15V) matches your device's requirements.
    • Ensure all connections are secure. Loose connections can introduce noise.
    • Test the iPower2 with a different device or in a different outlet to rule out other factors.
    • Some noise sources may be external to the power supply. Consider other components in your setup.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, please contact iFi customer support for further assistance.
