West Mountain COMSPKR Question

[Dave C]

Hi all,

    I know some folks on here are using the COMSPKRs with Elecrafts so I
thought I would ask a quick question.  I picked up a pair at a hamfest
today to try with my K3 but I must have been half-asleep because I didn't
catch that the power supply was not included.  I need to know what input
voltage it takes.

    The rear of the speaker says "DC IN" and I found a review on e-Ham
saying it took 9VDC in but then I took the speaker apart and the power
connection on the circuit board clearly says "AC IN".  So, I'm obviously
confused and don't want to guess at this point.  Couldn't find the answer
on West Mountain's website so thought I would ask here.  Thanks and 73,

Dave

I got a couple of responses off-list saying they can be run off 12VDC so
that's good enough.  Wanted to let folks know that my question was
answered.  Thanks...

One last follow-up.  I tried 12VDC on my speakers and I was blowing 5A
fuses.  I checked with one of the guys who wrote me off-list and he
double-checked his speakers and found they were running on 9VDC.  I tried
9VDC and that is working fine.  Just thought I should correct the earlier
info I posted.  Thanks and sorry for cluttering the list.
