Get yourself a regulated power supply!!! (Better still buy two - and have a
spare so you don't have this problem again)
It's 12 Volt DC centre pin being +ve current required 700mA
You'll need to find the right fitting plug for the socket on the DTX, but
most come with several anyway.
With an unregulated PSU the output voltage will indeed be high - as there's
no load attached.
Regulated - the voltage regulator will monitor it's output and makes sure it
doesn't go higher than 12V.
As a bonus regulated PSU's tend not to give 'mains hum'.

the Sonic Energy Authority - a sound investment
