It is highly recommended to always use the original power supply that came with your Apollo Twin X or a factory replacement. However, if your power supply fails or is lost and you need to get through a session, you can use a generic replacement power supply that matches the original power supply's specifications as a temporary solution.
Important: Universal Audio is not responsible for any damage caused by using a non-factory power supply.
Here's what you'll need to consider when picking up a generic replacement power supply for your Apollo Twin:
-
Make sure that the replacement power supply matches the specifications of the original power supply exactly. Do not use a replacement power supply that does not provide the correct output voltage or current, or does not match the polarity of the original.
-
