How can I power these? I'm a dummy when it comes to electronic boards...

I used a 12 volt 1 amp or greater DC transformer from the Goodwill store ($1.99); works well. LEDs are polarized so you have to get the + and - side correct or it won't work.9 Volts will also work; must be DC.

Make sure you also buy the CCTV CCD Camera LED Board Single Head 2 Pin Connector Power Cable 5pcs by Gino or you will have a lot of trouble connecting to it. The cable assembly plugs right into it. You connect the red wire to + 12 Volts and the black wire to ground. Alternatively, you could buy a 12v power supply and connect the cable assembly to it.

With a standard 12v DC adapter. Look on the PCB and you will see a + and - sign indicating the polarity.

These boards can take up to 12 Volts DC. Be mindful of you're polarity.Hope this helpsGary

I see that another answer conflicts with mine. Perhaps I should add that I tried this before answering. It works fine. I think the secret is that the modules have an onboard voltage regulator. The input is always referenced to ground and really doesn't care what you connect it to.

Yes you can. I hope you have a good enough PSU to suffice the power consumption of those babies. A 850w PSU will do nicely!

I need to supply phantom power. If you don't have it available on your board, you will need to get a power source.

No. You would need a received or amp to power them. You can get a cheap one for about 40$.

You can buy adapters - I've seen them online, but I don't remember where. You could also try Radio Shack.

They can be connected directly to your amp. But you will definitely need an amp they need some real power.

Yeah! So I've plugged mine in for a power source, but it takes batteries.However, it doesn't have a speaker/amp so you'd need to orchestrate a way to do that

I am using a 650wattt power supply. The card needs a power source other than the mainboard.

Ye you need an amp, they are not powered speakers. They are passive speakers as indicated by the "P" in "B2030P" which means you need an amp to power them.

These are not powered speakers they require an amplifier or PA. Only then could you do connect it.

They are passive speakers, so they are neither 120 or 220 compatible. You need a separate amp to run them.

To my knowledge, the board is run only off alternating current. If you have a portable power source, you can use that if you are not near any standard wired ac power source.

I have two of these boards. For the first I used a 1A transformer with a rectifier and put it all in a box. For the second I used this:http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00452YFZU/ref=oh_details_o03_s01_i00?ie=UTF8&psc;=1Don't forget that you need a mini USB cord. Have fun.

Hi, I bought these for my husband who's an electronics buff. He says he doesn't see a reason they wouldn't work with what you currently have. You could probably ask the seller as well, they may be able to provide expert opinion.

would be nice is the used USB power, then you could plug them in to a usb jack on your monitor
