looking to try and find the switchcraft part number for the MP-2's external DC plug (threaded coaxial) on SD's site, i came across this:
DC Plug for Coaxial
Sound Devices MM-1, HX-3, and early versions of the MixPre and 442 mixers use a coaxial DC power connector. The mating, locking plug is available from Sound Devices as part number XL-DC.
Radio Shack's Adaptaplug M, p/n 273-1716, which has an inner diameter of 2.1 mm and an outer diameter of 5.5 mm can be used for a non-locking connection with these units.
my question is this, does anyone have any experience using the infamous adaptaplug M with this device? obviously the connection wont be as secure (ie, locked) but did it do the job?
Thanks in advance for any insight
(mods feel free to move if there is a better forum for this querry)
oh, and does anyone know what the switchcraft part is? or if there is a ratshack equiviant to the locking part... trying not to order a ten dollar part and pay the same in shipping...
