Title: HDP2 DC Tip Size?
Post by: OOK on December 01, 2006, 02:42:17 AM

Does anyone know the tip size for the DC input on the HDP2.  I spoke with tech support at tascam and they didn't know.

They were able to atleast tell me that the HDP2 will except any voltage from 12 to 18 volts.


I am going to get a L-ion battery pack and the only thing holding me up is what Tip size I need.  This is the Battery I am thinking would be the best.:

According to my calculations Batt 8000mah/Tascam 600mah=13.33 X .80 =10.67 hours run time....Thats two hours better than a 8 gig card at 24/48, not bad. 124$ is a little step but we are talking L-ion, at 24oz. its a hell of alot better than carrying led.

I have one similar to the smaller unit listed on the right side of the page on weblink you provided. It's from a different manufacturer, but it worked fine for me this past Sat. night when i used it for my HD-P2. One note, the smaller unit (and maybe the larger one) comes with interchangable tips so you can easily find which one you would need for your deck by just trial and error. The one I use has a white inner ring for the connector to the unit, but I'm not sure of the exact size. make sure the polarity is set correctly to positive though when you insert the tip into the connecting wire, using negative polarity would be bad thing for your HD-P2.
