First post, long time lurker. Posthaste thanks for all the advice I’ve read on here; seismographs don’t have deep well of developers and many times this forum has made my job solving issues with these things far easier.
Ok... Straight into it... picked up a new Akai MPC 1000 (music sequencer/sampler) to compliment my much larger MPC 3000. The idea was to figure out a solution to get the thing battery powered for about 2 hours so it can accompany me into the woods and such.
Takes 110-240 AC (grounded) and the PSU throws out 12v and 5v. I know next to nothing about schematics, but the AC appears to be going into a bridge rectifier/filter and then (some magic happens that I yet understand) puts out 12v and 5v to the system.
I would like to power this with a 12v AGM and hopefully not fry my instrument. Please restore my confidence or save me from destroying this!
P.S. Does polarity matter in this situation?
