Title: Powering a Tascam DR100?
Post by: coloartist on September 03, 2013, 07:40:20 PM

A friend has a DR100 and he wants to run external power. It says 5v on the plug on the side of the deck. That is usb voltage. Can I give him a Walmart lithium to run it. I have 9v versions. Is that too much voltage for the DR100? I can't find specs in the manual.

Teds list says this Tascam DR100mkii / 5v/ Size B, 4.00mm OD × 1.70mm ID / Center pin (+)  Ring (-) / Normal Polarity

Just not sure how strict the 5v is.

Fwiw, I've used 7.2v on the dr100mkii without issues.
