    i guess without actual controlled testing of a MP20 unit with a different supply voltage, we wont know one way or the other, and the manufacturer surely isnt going to make this public knowledge... they'd loose too much money in the upgrade path

    Keep us posted bje.

    I can't believe you asked them straight up about using a 24v transformer. I would have asked them the same question and had them answer it without directly asking if you can use a 24v transformer:) I am impressed you did ask them though:)

    so basically because the mp 20 has the option of both 24v and 12v i can just match the input /output and have more power?
