So I just got my new TASCAM DR100 mkii in the mail today, quite excited ;D
So I plug in my phantom power adaptors (Samson PM4) to the Tascam XLR input, and now it won't come out (one pulled right out, the other is stuck)
What to do!?
paper clip
If I can fit it in.....I will let you know if it works
The PM4's always appeared to be a little wider than standard XLR's, at least in my experience. I can't help but recommend some breakout cables between them and the recorder.
I've been trying the paperclip, it's not helping. It looks like it locks on the inside of the connection, I'm not sure how a paper clip is even supposed to help.
I've worked a paper clip with a small loop bend at the tip to release the latch in the past when this has happened.
Like was mentioned above, the fit is tight. I can squeeze a small paperclip in a bit, but there is zero wiggle room. I am going to try and disassemble the phantom power adapotor, to see if I can get it back that way. It's hard just to return this to the seller, because then I risk losing my adaptor.

Did u get it fixed?
Nope, I'm stuck, going to call Tascam support in the AM. Just hope my adaptor doesn't get los in the process.
Similar thing happened to a friend of mine when he first tested his DR-40
