Hi, I am attempting to re-build an old Chilton M10-2 Mk 5 Mixing Desk, and I need a 24v DC power supply for it. The only problem is, that I only have the following information to go from;
The original connector on the unit was a 240deg DIN, only 2 wires connected to it (1 red and 1 Black) the black one also connects to the centre of the connector and the guy from the company said it was a tap. (+12v, and -12v = 24v DC.)
I have used a PC power supply to see if the unit works with those voltages by using the +12v, and -12v rails on the PC Power Supply connector, it powered up and worked all ok.
I personally think it needs more power than the PC Power Supply is giving it because the gain amplifiers are weak, and need to be turned up full.
I was wondering if you have any ideas of what could be subsituted in etc. Or any ideas of what to try without killing me or the desk ?
Thanks
