Power Plug Question

Go to solution Solved by Peter Vaughan Truslow,

So I have these speakers ok. And on the speaker is a pin for power. And on the pin says 6V DC. Now I didn't have the plug however I just found one right now that says AC to 6V DC Adapter.

                                                                                                                              ----

On the back of the plug says Input: 100-240V~  50/60Hz 0.5A and Output 6.0V ... 1.5A 

 

So my question is is it okay for me to use this plug with the speakers. Thanks !!

if the speakers only need 1.5A or less at 6v DC, then that should work fine

Yes that is the correct DC voltage just make sure the amperage on the speakers are not >1.5A total or more than 9W.

More than that, make sure the polarities match. If the (+) and the (-) are backward, and it's plugged in, there's a chance the speaker's power circuit will fry.
