Chanzon 12V 5A 60W Power Supply AC DC Switching Adapter, 12 Volt 5 Amp AC/DC Wall Wart Converter Transformer, 100-240v 50 60HZ Input with 12vdc 5000ma Output

I am reviewing the following product: Chanzon 12V 5A 60W AC DC Power Supply Adapter (Input 110V-220V, Output 12 Volt 5 Amp 60 Watt)This power supply was an extremely important purchase for me. I bought it since it was highest rated power supply on Amazon.com with the requirements I was looking for. I wanted a genuine 12V 5A Positive tip power supply that could provide up to 1A each to up to 5 items simultaneously. I'm using this with a Pig Hog 10 Spot power splitter to power four semimodular synthesizers at the same time. I needed this power supply to have enough current to do the job, without introducing noise into any of the circuits, since I am cross patching audio and control voltage across several synths in my musical endeavors. I'm currently using this to power the following at the same time: Arturia MicroBrute, Moog Mother 32, Behringer Model D, and Behringer Neutron. This power supply had to have the advertised current rating, since I wanted the power supply to be well beyond the current specs for what I am powering. I did not want to overwork the power supply by shortchanging the current draw.I have been using this Chanzon Power Supply for over 2 months now, with no issues whatsoever so far. I was very careful testing with each and every synth before relying on this full time. I have had no issues with noise. The power supply gets warm, without becoming hot. I have left it on for days at a time without issue. I have this plugged into a Furman power conditioner that I switch on to power all my current synths simultaneously. This has enabled me to replace 4 DC wall wart power supplies that took up a lot of space. I am grateful the positive reviews on this power supply have been genuine, since my setup is quite expensive and quite a labor of love.I want to leave this review to help any others that endeavor to simplify their power to their semimodular synthesizers. Before you attempt to do this, be informed about your power requirements, voltage, and tip polarity. Getting any of that wrong can destroy your precious gear. But I am writing this to confirm that this power supply has worked flawlessly for me and what I wanted to achieve, and I'm grateful for it. I would recommend this to power any of the synths I have tested it with. I could be used to power just one of them, or all of them at the same time, as long as you have a quality splitter.Here are Amazon.com links to my setup in case it helps anyone else:https://www.amazon.com/110V-220V-Converter-Lighting-Transformer-Flexible/dp/B073QTNF9F (this product I'm reviewing)https://www.amazon.com/Pig-Power-Spot-Daisy-Chain/dp/B013M8CKMWhttps://www.amazon.com/Arturia-MicroBrute-Analog-Synthesizer/dp/B00G31YMVShttps://www.amazon.com/Moog-Mother-32-Modular-Analog-Synthesizer/dp/B0161LXW06https://www.amazon.com/Behringer-MODELD-Synthesizer/dp/B07BHYZRYGhttps://www.amazon.com/Behringer-NEUTRON-BEH-Synthesizer/dp/B07J1VP47VPeace, and may your experience with this be as positive as mine is. I should buy more just to have backup.

I'd been having trouble with my Internet service. I had pretty much tracked it down to some kind of intermittent issue with my wireless wifi or broadband modem. I came across a couple of interesting discussions that suggest that the wireless was originally equipped with a power supply which the bare minimum amperage required.So, as the theory went, as the power supply aged, it's actual output varied from it original specs and this 'fact' (I wasn't there and I'm not an EE) apparently could cause the type of connection issues I was seeing. I didn't know if the 'theory was correct, but I was out of ideas and on the verge of replacing the wireless and the modem, so I thought I'd take the chance. The folks in the forum were recommending a 12V 5A replacement supply.When others pointed out that this was overkill (original supply was rated at 800 mA), the folks doing the recommending pointed out that the price difference between the two supplies was not a huge factor, and it was better to get a quality supply so you would have no doubt. In my case I intend to put a splitter on the supply output and run 1 side to my wireless, the other side to my broadband modem - so 'overkill' was even less of an issue for me.When the Chanzon 12V 5A 60W AC DC Power Supply arrived, it spoke quality from the start. It was very well packaged and had a weight that was size-appropriate. It even came with an extra DC terminal end in case your needs were a bit different. There is a blue LED on the front to indicate the unit is receiving AC. I should qualify this assessment though as I made no measurements to gauge voltage stability or output amperage. As I've only recent purchased this unit, I can make no statements with respect to long-term durability or MTBF. The DC side cord is ~4 ft long and the AC side cord is ~5 ft long and is detachable.Best of all, all of my intermittent connection issues have now gone away -- uh, at least for the time being. (If this ever changes, I'll update this review. ) All things considered, I am very happy with the Chanzon 12V 5A 60W AC DC Power Supply and would definitely buy another or recommend it to anyone looking for a quality supply with these specs.

This is my third 12V 5A power supply, hopefully third time is a charm.While this unit was more expensive than other 12V 5A adapters, it claimed efficiency level "Class VI", so I decided to try it after another brand 12V 5A unit abruptly failed.I measured output voltage at various current loads using digital electronic load tester, powering the adapter with 123VAC and letting the unit warm up for 30 minutes at midrange load. The output voltages were measured at the output of the DC connector.The voltage output starts at 12.34V with zero load and slowly tapers (almost linear) to 11.965V at 5.0A of output (max rated), and still provides 11.827V at 6.5A of output, 30% beyond rated capacity. I would not recommend running it beyond 5A continuous, but nice to have some headroom for intermittent higher loads. The overload protection kicked in above 6.75A output, dropping output voltage to zero until load reduced.Measuring wattage draw at the wall socket to compute efficiency shows peak efficiency at 89% between 0.5A and 1.0A of output, 87% at 3.0A, and 85.5% efficiency at 5.0A output. That is significantly better than any other 5A adapters I've tested. Also noteworthy that at zero load, there is nearly zero wattage draw from the wall, unlike other adapters I've tested that have half a watt or more of phantom power draw at zero output, so the "Class VI" efficiency label seems legit.
