Phil,

Exceeding the specifications with any equipment is "at your own peril" with any equipment. Although I doubt that 15 volts will cause a problem with the KX1, the regulators will generate more heat than the design point predicts - and there may be other consequences.

A few diodes in the power cable for that power source will drop the voltage down, or choose another supply. Some power supplies can be adjusted for output voltage, but I suspect you have a sealed power supply that was intended for a computer, so do what you have to to remain is spec.
