Question:

What power cable is right for a power adapter that reads: INPUT: 100-240V ~50/60Hz 1.5A?

I have a power adapter that goes to a mixer (Denon DN-MC6000) and reads: INPUT 100-240V ~ 50/60Hz 1.5A, OUTPUT: 12V - 3A. Now I know this is the right adapter but I don't know if I have the right cable that goes from the adapter to the wall. I have one that says 6A 250V~ but I dunno if its the right one. I have a few others but can someone tell me what will be the right one so I don't blow up my mixer :P thanks

Answer:

Hi, The adapter to the tip is the important part. Whatever fits from the adapter to the wall doesn't have much to do with anything. Anything that fits the adapter, physically.
This type of power cable can be plugged into any household power between 100 and 240 volts. So, any plug that fits into the wall plug is the right one. In the US and Canada the voltage is 110-120 volts. In the rest of the world 240 volts are used The plug and wire you mention is for the rest of the world. Now look at the adapter where you plug the cable into. Do they fit together? If yes go for it. If not keep looking.
