Tom 13836 Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 (edited) Ok. So we bought our Multi Track recorder... and it didn't come with a plug... The plug required is a DC 9.0V @ 1000Ma I have a DC 9.0V @ 300Ma reckon thats safe to use or will it fuck it up? Thing is they reckon if you don't use the official adapter it voids your warranty Edited October 19, 2007 by T-Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo 133 Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 You'd be giving it less current than it requires, so it might not function correctly but is unlikely to fuck it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 8989 Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 best way to check is plug the cable in, then lick the end that's going into your recorder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt 0 Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 I got a multi-rated DC adaptor from Maplin for a tenner, it's the size of a small cottage but has all of the various adapters and can be adjusted from 1.5v up to 12v. Your multitrack recorder will draw a certain current (probably less than the 1A stated) but a higher-rated adaptor will not 'overload' the multitrack with current. It is the resistive unit itself (the multitrack) that determines the flow of current. So you wont fuck the recorder, but may well fuck the adaptor. If they blow up they can in turn send nasty spikes down the line so I'd say your best bet is head for Maplin and look for a 12v adaptor capable of meeting your current requirements (above is not a problem).

Thing is they reckon if you don't use the official adapter it voids your warranty Tom, first thing to ask yourself is why the fuck didn't it come with the transformer? Then when you've worked out it wasn't as cheap as they promised because you have to buy the transformer take the advice of those above and go buy one with the correct amperage. Also silly question but make sure it's DC, that cheap pre-amp I posted above is a 16v AC, although being 9v it would more than likely be DC. If all else fails have a few drinks and then follow fish's advice above Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
