Power Adapters

Allowing your product to work in unusual environments

The following products are provided with the hope of giving you some flexibility in where you use your product. Although virutally all of our wired microphones work perfectly when plugged into a PC, most of the wirelss microphones require power from a wall jack. In general we recommend that you buy powered products in your home country to avoid power compatability issues, for the occasional user one of these adapters is simply the only option.

100 Watt AC Inverter

This is the perfect accessory for the "road warrier". It converts your automobile 12 DC to 115V AC and also provides a 5V DC USB port to power USB devices. It's perfect for keeping your laptop charged or charging any USB powered device.

Specifications:

• Continuous Power: 90 Watts for 2 hrs
• Peak Surge Power: 200 Watts for 1 cycle
• AC Output Voltage: 115V +/- 10%
• AC Output Frequency: 60 Hz +/- 3 Hz
• AC Output: modified sine wave
• DC Input Voltage: 12V DC (11-15V DC)
• USB Output: DC 5V up to 0.5 Amp

Comments: Don't try to run a serious appliance off of this device! It is rated for 90 watts, which is within the range of most small electronic devices including your laptop charger. But check out your device wattage before ordering or using this product. Beyond this limitation, it is simple, mounts firmly to any automobile 12V socket, and works perfectly. I keep one of these in my car glove compartment for that "rare moment" when something needs charging (usually something the kids are operating but occasionally my PC!)
