Geneva model M power supply

[tarheeldiver]

Can anyone tell me the correct power supply for this speaker with iPod dock and CD player? Thanks

Specs give a power requirement of 220v ac and 1w standby, with 50w running.
Also it says the unit is provided with a power lead which sort of points to the power supply being internal in the device.
(details first one up on Google search)

Thanks sorry I put it in wrong I need the power adapter and can’t figure which one it takes. Sorry for the confusion but thanks for the quick response.

As was implied, it's being full AC line input powered, thus no external " wall wart ", so you just need to mate up with the correct AC line connector at the end of that AC line power cord.
Give us a close up photo of that AC receptacle mounted within the unit.

Hopefully the pics come through

Photos too small to make out any detail.

 

[tarheeldiver]

Trying again

Hopefully better, thanks.

States 24V, 1A and from the DC barrel connector diagram with +/- we can determine it's DC not AC.

So, simply pick a mains voltage to 24VDC supply rated 1A or higher, that either comes with or that you attach the appropriate sized DC barrel plug on... looks kinda like a 5.5mm OD x 2.5mm ID (pin) plug but I would measure rather than trusting an estimate of someone eyeballing a picture.

If you happened to live in the US, here is a low quality generic for cheap on Amazon as an example, though up to you to search for something higher quality, might result in cleaner output and arguably better audio depending on the circuit your gear uses... or go old school and make it linear from scratch and suffer the lower efficiency.

Thanks very much dave9 I will get this one!

^ Hold on it was just an example! The reviews suggest it's more like an overrated 1A supply which is all you theoretically need but for a dollar more I'd as soon get this one if not spending more time to find something major brand:

Edit: This one specs a 2.1mm ID plug so not sure if it'll fit, is just another example and up to you to figure out what plug you need or if you can add your own.

The longer you look, the better the chances of finding the best compromise between quality and price from a major brand instead of these generics.

Sir tarheeldiver . . . . .

Looks like the found GENEVELAB model M of Bluejets and yours don't agree.
With his being AC line cord powered
and
Your units, showing a need of a wall wart of 24VDC @1 amp with its negative ground shell and a HOT center pin.

With his found unit putting out 100W audio
and
Your units, probably APPRECIABLY lower than that, with it ONLY having 24 Watts total DC input power.

With his found unit weighing 24 lbs
and
Your unit probably not weighing 24 lbs, with a bowling ball balanced atop it, on the weigh in.

At all considerations your only question is to find the EXACT power adapter for your use.
Don't think that's gohna happen ! what with . . .it being an ~ 13 year old, now discontinued unit.

The 24VDC @1 Amp wall wart specification is available , its just the snag of that SPECIFIC sized terminating male barrel power connector.

Read my referencing below . . . . .

The MOST COMMONLY used connector sizes being found . . . .





In figuring the size of that internally positioned. male connector pin . . . . .

In my case I once bought a flea market find wall wart made by Radio Shack and it had 12 different connectors that would plug into ITS cable connector and have the other end, being a specific size end, plugging into the equipment.
I have no problems now, nor in the future in identifying a needed connector size, since I always KEEP that size of adapter and buy that needed replacement size, to install on the wart.

MOST likely you will be needing one of the two referenced MAIN sizes, having a full barrel length and not a short / stubby sized.
Are you able to eyeball that internal pin connection and differentiate between a 2.1 and a 2.5 sizing ?
Or, can you get some side by side assistance, provided by placing a drill bit end inside, then being able to make a nose to nose to comparison between ?
