WARNING

The Microtubes X7 has a current draw of 70mA. Only use a regulated 9V-18V DC adapter with a center-negative plug. Due to ecological reasons, it does not accept batteries. Unregulated power supplies and/or higher voltages may result in suboptimal noise performance and even damage your unit, voiding the warranty.
