Hey now,
So I've gotton ahold of a sweet little 9800 mAh 12 volt lithium ion battery from japan (very similar to Tekk on battery, except you can't select voltage, and only 46$ new delivered). So, here's the question....on the standard 15 pin (i think it was 15 pin) breakout cable, that provided the ad1000 with a spdif out, as well as a 4 pin xlr for power input, I need to know what 2 pins on the cable were used, and which, particularly, was positive. I can easily enough open up the 4 pin male on my dongle, but am not sure how to tell which pin of the 2 was positive, and which was negative. As I've very excited about getting this unit up and running again (my 9 year old had a good time patching a digital deck at Merriweather this phish tour, and really wants to start learning the whole deal)...I plan to use it as the pre/A>D with a pair of cmc6 > KC5 > MK4 for my little one to take a spdif into his own 661....i just don't want to f-it up with reverse polarity (I can't remember whether the ad1000 will fry, or just not power up if i get the polarity wrong).
Anyone who can help me out will be doing us a great service....he's hoping to record the local symphony as his first gig in about 10 days or so, and I want to have time to build and test his cable.
thanks,
