See the image below for how to wire it up. It will more likely than not come from the far east. The ebay reference for the three pin adapter was - 1Set M16 2/3/5/6/8Pins Screw Type Electrical Aviation Plug Socket Connector 400V. Should you find one without its power supply unit never fear - here is the solution. There are still plenty of these kicking around and they offer some nice bang for your buck. get one while it's still 45 bucks the price is going to go up to 45 bucks soon!īetter late than never. for me, to not have to go through all that 45 bucks is cheap.

I know you mean well but sometimes you diy guys crack me up. the drill and bits cost me another 40 bucks and the soldering supplies were another $20. but wow i saved 10 dollars! ohhh i forgot. ohh but i drove 30 miles, spent 10 bucks on gas and and 25 bucks on parts and it took me 10 hours.
finally i get it all done and it works (maybe) or it fries the mixer (perhaps, because i really don't know what f i'm doing) but if it works it still looks like crud and is kludgy. get back home and spend 2 or 3 hours putting it all together then i have to mickey mouse the connector on the mixer. Then i go home and i go to put the parts together but i have to drill holes in the box so i get back in the car and i drive 10 miles round trip to home depot (cause it's 5 miles up the road and 5 miles back) and buy a drill and bits. i dick around finding a parking spot, buy the parts and ohh don't forget a soldering pencil, flux and solder because i don't have that stuff already. Ok so i get in the car drive 10 miles round trip to the radio shack (cause it's 5 miles up the road and 5 miles back). Your correct if you are all set up with a workbench and tools but not everyone is. This is as simple as screwing in a lightbulb. You're going to pay a heftier fee for the factory supply. This is a typical off-the-shelf readily available power supply transformer. These transformers are available from companies like Newark Electronics, Digi-Key and others. Thankfully, this kind of simple AC supply, only requires a simple transformer and the connectors you need. Of course it's always desirable to have the company supplied unit. Even if it only works off of an 18 V supply. I would be surprised if that mixer does not offer Phantom power. These DC to DC up-converters have come into play and become quite popular in recent years more so than in the past. No worry about polarity of the 18 V supply side because it's AC.Īssuming that the power supply has plenty of current to deliver, the internal power supply circuitry may also include DC to DC up-converters to create 48 V DC, low current, for the Phantom power needed for condenser microphones. So it only requires a simple power transformer to convert 110 V AC to 18 V AC and you'll be up and running. Yeah Boswell, I checked the specs on that mixer power supply.

And I'm wondering how they obtained +48 for the Phantom power? So they are likely using a DC to DC up converter? So I really question that rating of 18 V? Maybe you should pick up a manual that includes a schematic? They can be helpful. The only thing you have to find out is whether it required 18 V of DC or 18 V of AC? One will be the lucky and the other will take it out forever LOL. Sometimes you find these on other mixers with ground, +48, +15, -15. Pin 1, is ground and Pin 4, was 12 V of positive DC. 4 pin XLR's were regularly used for 12 V power supply connectors for video cameras. Sometimes it requires a modification to a 4 or 5 pin, XLR connector which are much easier to find in comparison to some of those bizarre Taiwanese connectors. Everything available at RadioShack.įrequently it's hard to find specialized connectors for these power supplies to your mixer. You build it into an aluminum project box.
And then you have a power supply costing about $25. A couple of large filter capacitors and an National Semiconductor, Texas Instrument, etc., 18 V regulator rated at least at 1 amp or more. All you need is a 110-24 V transformer, rated for 1.5/2 amps. On the other hand, it's no big deal to make your own power supply.
