I have a Tascam M 520 mixer as some of you know and when I got it the guy couldn't find the cable..still hasn't. I've given up on that and have talked to Sweetbeats about alternatives and such. He was kind enough to get the right kind of cable and I was able to find a female Hirose connector, but not a male. I've thought about Dsub, etc. Sweetbeats mentioned getting a cable/connector like the old printer kind since it had the same volts, amps (whatever it was). So I've been looking at different things and I saw this.

It comes from a MCI JH 110 used for connecting a remote. (I recently got an MCI JH 110) and saw this while looking up MCI items.

Now I'm concerned with the ratings and such or whatever I might have issues with this. I'm not knowledgeable about that kind of stuff. Does that matter since he mentioned that the printer type has similar ratings. It's alot bigger than the regular type from Tascam but would that work?

I also realized that it's 24 pin and not 20 pin. When I opened up the hood it's only connected on 5 pins. So my thinking is I would bypass 4 pins taking in consideration that it would even work. Totally clueless. Any advice would be appreciated. Please be easy on my ineptitude.

Best regards,

You can always skip having a "connector" and just hardwire the PS and the console.

I mean...how many times do you think you will have to disconnect the two??? ;)

Miroslav,

Yeah, I'm already setup that way right now.......I did the "direct connect" thing but it would make it easier for my lack of space to have the power supply out of the way of things that are also next to my mixer. Thanks though! :D
 
i've seen that connector used on small signal connections but not power supply type stuff... just pull up digi-key and check what they've got... get a pair that connects both for cable ends... wire one with a pigtail going into the mixer and well the rest is obvious...
