plugging more then 9v AC?
i have a stanton m.202 mixer (9volts AC power supply needed). one day i noticed that my laptop charger plugged in properly in my mixer power supply and it turned on. but later on my friend was telling me that i shouldnt plug in more then 9 volts in my mixer and it turned out that my laptop charger is 19volts. so i bought a 9volts power supply and it turns on still but i am not sure if my mixer still works because i connected my laptop to my mixer and played music but for some reason the sound isnt going in the mixer but the mixer is turned on. did i burn the mixer out? by plugging more volts then wat is meant for?? ps. i have the all the connections hooked up right from laptop to mixer. so it wouldnt be my connections.
well my power supply is 9v but it does not say AC or DC its more like hyphens it says 9v-- and 1000ma which that is what i need. but it might be probably that its not AC but this --
You may have burned out the mixer but you may have gotten lucky. Check the mixer's documentation to see if there is a fuse (possibly internal) that may have blown. It is also possible that replacement adapter is not providing enough current to properly power the device. The replacement adapter needs to have a current rating (Amperes, Amps, A) equal to or greater than the original adapter. Again check the mixer documentation to find the current rating you need. While you're at it, verify that it requires 9 volts AC not DC and that your adapter matches what is required. If the adapter you need is DC then the polarity of the plug becomes important as well.
EDIT: That is the symbol for DC (direct current) so you have a DC adapter which is what audio electronics usually use. EDIT: Just checked the Stanton website which was offline but I found the Stanton forum in which someone had a missing supply and was told the needed adapter is 9 volts AC and 1000 ma so it looks like you will need a different adapter. The good news is this means your mixer may be ok.
