I've lost my power supply and need a new one but I'm baffled.

My ID:CORE 10 V2 amp says on the back, "USE 10v / 3A POWER SUPPLY"...

Every other ID:CORE 10 V2 i can see appears to say "USE 6.5v / 3A POWER SUPPLY", eg, here:-

The power bank that can be used to power these using batteries appears to be 12v, according to specs eg here:-

https://www.mannsmusic.co.uk/amplifiers ... c-core.htm

"10,000mAh / 12VDC output"

(I can't find any details about that power bank on the Blackstar website)

So will the 12v battery pack fry the V2 amps that need 6.5v?

Can I use a 12v psu to run mine?

Why do some V2s say they need 6.5v and others say 10v?

It's all a bit confusing. Thanks to anyone who can untangle the mess!

It’s possible that there are different versions of the ID:CORE 10 V2 amp that require different power supplies. You can reference this post where the 10V / 3A power supply is for the ID:CORE 20 and that Blackstar decided to use the same power supply for both amps to avoid having different power supplies. viewtopic.php?t=4190
