Ripple
Specifically marketing itself, as one of its features, of having a low ripple noise output, this clearly represented quite a key aspect of our testing. So, does it fit the bill? Well, the short answer is yes, the long answer is yes, with a but. By and large, all of the results provided in our testing are very low (with the vast majority being in single digits). It is, however, hard to ignore that the 12V output is a little bit more excitable in comparison. Don’t get us wrong, this is still hugely below the EU maximum of 50, but is 23.2 really low? We’ve definitely seen better, but you’ll have to make your own mind up.
