This is an electronics question for preople with more nouse than me .
I bought an LPS to replace the switch mode wall wart to power my sub's DSP.
Actually provides a 12V DC supply to the DSPeaker, which takes 9V-12V fine.
So my issue is, when I first bought this, it displayed it was giving 12.1v:
...but recently it started showing 12.2V.....then 12.3V......now it's at 12.4V when switched on (or 12.3 but quickly goes to 12.4V). This is all over the period of about 2.5yr from when I first got it.
Seeing as the DSPeaker takes 12V max, I'm a bit worried that the supply voltage appears to be rising with time and don't want to damage the DSP. Is this a degrading component inside the supply? Should I bin it or is it easily fixable? Should I be worried?
Can anyone offer any insight?
Thanks.
