In my SG-500 brochure it says:
"Input Voltage: 14.0VDC
Input Range: 10.0-18.0 VDC"
It then describes it as "the 12 volt SG-500 SmartPowerCube".
In their price list, they mention 13.8VDC.
SGC's PS-50 mains power supply for the SG-500 gives a nominal 14.5VDC.
Just like with valve amplifiers, where the maxim is "just bung an extra 200V
on the anode".
