Ipower
Is your system ‘hissing’? You need to replace your regular power supply with the iPower. This super silent power supply will feed your system’s circuits with the ultra-quiet power at both the input and output stages.
With improved components and thicker guage wiring, the iPower is the simple silent upgrade your system deserves. The iPower comes in 5V, 9V, 12V or 15V. Use it for any products requiring super silent power.

iFi-Ipower-2-Tech-Lowdown- (6)iPower uses our improved Active Noise Cancellation II to actively cancel all incoming noise.

It does this in a similar way to active noise-cancelling headphones – it generates a signal identical to that of the incoming electrical noise but in the opposite phase, actively cancelling it out. This is highly effective at removing low- and mid-frequency noise, while passive insulating filters deal with higher frequency interference.
