IMPORTANT:

This product is designed to be powered from a 9VDC, >100mA 

power supply with 2.1mm centre-negative barrel connector.

The voltage is boosted internally for optimised headroom. 

Powering from more than 9V will not increase headroom further and may 

cause damage if connected for prolonged periods of time. Do not exceed 9V.

An isolated, regulated, linear power supply is recommended to minimise power-related 

noise and avoid damage from voltage surges and other over-voltage conditions.
