might be a 12v cable, check to see which pins the wires are soldered to.

The battery and the cable did not come with the unit. To tell you the truth i haven't touched it since i bought it till now. Haven't had any shows to go to

i pused the pins out in the switchcraft a little bit more and it made no diffrence

i'm pretty sure you're having the same problem i had a few months ago. you bought it from someone using it with a normal 6v battery. the ec-90 has a regulator circuit to drop one output down to 6v. so the xlr end of your power cable has to be wired to engage the circuit by bridging pins 2&4, then pin 1 is negative and pin 3 is positive. you're gonna have to re-solder the xlr end of your power cable. it's a pain in the ass, but it's a great battery.

damn that sucks, how do i go about bridging pins 2&4

dmonterisi · « **Reply #10 on:** January 29, 2004, 12:19:36 AM »

do you know how to solder? if not, i think you can send it to eco-charge and it will take them 10 minutes to do.

hzgone · « **Reply #11 on:** January 29, 2004, 12:21:05 AM »

i can give it a shot but i don't think i will have it ready for tomorrow night. can you explain what i have to do. That might help me see what is going on a little better

dmonterisi · « **Reply #12 on:** January 29, 2004, 12:23:03 AM »

you're gonna need a soldering iron, solder, desoldering braid and a multimeter. do you have that?

hzgone · « **Reply #13 on:** January 29, 2004, 12:24:17 AM »

nope, won't be able to do this. Need to figure out what i'm going to do

call up your local electronics shop, tell them you are in a bind and see if they have somone who can help you out.. not a ratshack, a mom and pop shop
