Members jcn37203 Posted September 26, 2005 Members Share Posted September 26, 2005 I {censored}ing broke the power supply plug to my mixer this weekend, stupidly yanking on a wire that was wrapped around the power cord to the mixer. The little plastic piece inside of the plug that helps you line the pins up right broke off. I can still plug it in and use it, but the pins bend around and {censored} and the plug is really loose. Obviously not going to last. Anybody know anything about getting a replacement? I checked the website, and all they do is give you a bunch of overseas phone numbers to call. I could just epoxy the plug in place if it gets down to that. I couldn't unplug it from the mixer anymore, but it beats buying a whole new mixer just to replace the PS. Lesson learned: never yank wires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TheDarxide Posted September 26, 2005 Members Share Posted September 26, 2005 Somewhere at home I've got a leaflet of service numbers that came with my stomp boxes, I'll see if I can dig it out.... What sort of supply is it? it doesn't sound like a normal barrel connecter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it's one of those with the transformer brick in the middle of the wire. The actual connector is about a quarter inch around with three pins and a little plastic... thingy. Looks sort of like a tiny MIDI plug, if that makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it's a new power lead you need? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Arjae Posted September 26, 2005 Members Share Posted September 26, 2005 Buy a new one of their smallest board. What is it? Like $29? You get the power supply for $29 and a new board for free! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, similar to a V-Amp, but different. I have a V-Amp also. And yeah, a new whatever its called that is connected to that. Originally posted by Arjae Buy a new one of their smallest board.

Hell the little 9V transformer for a NanoVerb is $15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had an older MX602A that had the exact same power supply as the newest, smallest one which I bought just to have a headphone out between my computer and monitors.

Don't try to buy just the power supply...it's not gonna happen. I've had one on back order for almost a year AND it cost $35. The best thing to do is just buy the cheap 2 channel board just for the power supply. It cost 34.99 at guitar center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am glad someone else agreed with my suggestion! http://www.musiciansfriend.com/srs7/g=home/search/detail/base_pid/631239/ It is a damn good little board too!

Members CH99 Posted December 21, 2010 Members Share Posted December 21, 2010 This is an old thread, all the same i thought i'd respond with my answer to replacing the Behringer power supply on their smaller boards. In this case i managed to replace the MXUK3 on my recently purchased UB1002, with a AC/AC 18v 1amp adapter i picked on ebay. There should be no problems finding these at reasonable rates. The important thing to remember is that the replacement must be a AC to AC adapter. Be warned most power adapters are AC to DC!! I reused the plug and lead from the blown MXUK3 adapter. This has 3 wires, a red, a blue and a yellow. For this to work i Combine the yellow and the red wire to form a single input, and then had the blue wire as the other input to the replacement adapter. This works a treat, even though the actual voltage specified by Behringer is 18.5v AC.The difference of half a volt seem to make no difference as much of the rectifying of the voltage takes place on board the mixer. Note the board will power up if just the blue and red wires are used, but does need the yellow wired to be connected in order affect Behringer's noise canceling. I hope this helps the rest of you... { MXEU3 MXEU4 MXEU5 MXUK3 MXUK4 MXUK5 1002 802 502 } Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
