I am unclear if this controller comes with the power supply it needs. If not, could you please provide suggestions (w/links)?

Amazon should hire people to answer these questions. Hard for small business to compete with internet sales when they have no overhead and they even find ways to answer questions with free knowledge.

yes you can use the 8 AA batteries that you can pick up from Radio Shack is called the battery holder or if you want to plug in the wall you can just ask them for a 12 volt power supply

No, it needs a 12 volt supply to power it that does NOT come with it. The power supplies are pretty inexpensive and easy to find

It does not come with the power supply. You will need a 12 power supply. There is 2 wires coming out of one end of the strip to hook your power to. The strip can be cut with scissor to any length you want. To hook up the remaining end you will need a 2 wire connector or you can solder 2 wires onto the end of the strip.

Hi, yes it came with it's own power supply. In total I had 2 power supplies, one from the original drive one from the adapter. The power supply which came with the original Drive became useless because the adapter wants it's own supply and that comes in the package. hope it helps

Sorry Alexander we returned the controller because it did not do what they advertised. It was basically just like a regular controller. I hope that helps

If you're asking about phantom power, yes, it provides it. Maybe the question came because of the USB capabilities - just making sure you dont think it's USB powered - IT IS NOT. You need the included power supply at all times. A friend of mine made that mistake and was disappointed.

YES! It MUST come with controller and all cables. According to the UPC, that is what the system came with so according to Amazon's policy, it MUST come with all those cables and controller. All the people selling them without them are violating Amazon's policy.

No, mine did not come with power supply. You have to buy one to be able to work. They need to clarify this in the description.

This requires an external 12v power supply which isn't included. A decent supply can be found on Amazon by searching for B007TGO3HO. It's about $7.79 and should have plenty of capacity for your project. Happy automating :-)

only the controller and the power supply - I bought a previously used unit... It came with the original box but no cables or manual - but they aren't really needed until you connect the device to your rig...

Yes it comes with power supply and remote. It installed nicely and worked great.

Yes...if it didn't come with it you will need to buy a power supply. This one will work:http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007TGO3HO/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc;=1

Hi Mr Reis. It does not come with 2 controllers unless it specifies. Your in luck though. I can sell you a setup like that for a very affordable price. Would you like me to help you out with that, sir? Thanks!

make sure power supply is 12v DC. make sure terminals have correct polarity (+/-). make sure remote has battery and is inside it properly. make sure strip is connected/plugged in properly to the controller. if after all that it still does not work, you probably got a faulty controller, and need to send it back

Sorry it took so long to respond... like the others have stated "It doesn't come with a power supply." I ordered the Rosewill 600W Power Supply RP600V2-S-SL Black through Amazon as well. Good luck with your build!

No, the controller contains a lithium ion battery that is rechargeable. It comes with an adapter that can be plugged into any USB port to recharge!

I am sorry but we do not carry controllers for these items, and we cannot recommend which brand would work. You may need to find something universal.
