Topic: Equipment, External Battery, Voltage and DC Plug Size Info

[tgakidis]

Thought it would be very useful to start a thread listing Equipment, the External Battery Voltage required and Power Plug Sizes.  Post your info in the thread and I will maintain the list on the first page.  Please feel free to add, correct, update or comment on any of the information provided.

Great resource, Ted; thanks for putting this together.  I can tell you that the original Edirol R-09 (not HR) uses the same "B" plug size, has the same center pin (+) polarity and requires the same 3v voltage.  Don't know if it can be safely run off 5v USB like the HR model but the DC adapter that came with it outputs around 3.3-3.4v, FWIW.

Early mixpre's had same connector as MP-2.  Then they switched to the hirose, not sure why or when

The Sound Devices USBPre2 will accept either a USB-2  or USB-3 plug "B" style.  The unit has a USB-3 style plug on it because it is more robust.  Unit can be powered via USB Jack with 5V {red +5v, black -5v (ground)} Green and white wires are for data

Hey I am pretty positive  the same wiring applies to the microtrackers for external battery power via the USB jack.  They have a mini B style plug.    USBPre2 has A/D converter in it so you should put it in the other list.  Great idea making a list!

Yup, that's correct.  Thanks!

Great idea!

The Korg MR-1 takes the same as the PMD-661, ie Type B, center pin (+). It requires a 5V, 1A source.

The Tekkeon MP3450 takes a KPPX-3P Kycon DC Power Connector.

NOLAfishwater pointed out this battery in a recent power thread for SD788.  The battery looks good; 153 Watt/Hr or 42500 mAh at (4.75A max), voltage outputs are 5V on USB and switchable output port for 12V or 19V.

I vote to make this a sticky! Really great info here thanks Ted

[stevetoney]

Brilliant thread.  Thanks Ted!

[Fried Chicken Boy]

Another piece of gear you can add to this list, Ted: the Roland R-05 recorder uses the same power adapter (Roland PSB-6U) as the Edirol R-09 and R-09HR.  As to whether or not you can run it on 5v USB like the HR, I can't confirm that.

Just an observation: I find it ironic that no one has listed the power supply specs for the Sony PCM-M10, one of the more popular small recorders on these boards.  Then again, with its ridiculously long battery times I'm guessing nobody has found the need to use an external power supply.

I vote to make this a sticky!
