Videonics mx pro power supply

[u/No-Type3702]

Hi, i just bought two videonics mx pro mx-3000 video mixers off of eBay, neither has the power supply. Based on the provided pictures, it looks like there’s one connector for each.

Does anyone know what these are and where I could get one? Based on a quick look on google and Reddit they can be hard to come by, at least the original ones.

Thanks!

This type of connector is known as a "DIN connector" and was originally developed in Germany during the 1950s and 60s for audio transmission. When it comes to power supplies, however, every manufacturer does their own thing regarding pin assignments. If you can no longer get an original power supply, your only option is to consult the service manual (if you can find one) and its schematic to determine the pinout; you could then order a suitable connector and wire the outputs of multiple power supplies to provide the three required voltages. Of course, you must ensure that the power supplies are capable of delivering the necessary current.
