Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

The power supply looks just like all your telephone, discman, etc., 
AC adaptors. They all just have their own power ratings based on the 
internal electronics. All tips look pretty much the same; the 
positive or negative refers to the unit's access polarity (polarity 
is partly the issue in designing the Visu-lite hi hat for yamaha 
modules). Manuals or adaptors themselves usually give an indication 
of the tip's polarity. You don't want to risk damaage by feeding a 
positive signal to something that's expecting a negative one. Nine 
volts is pretty common, as is the 500mA rating. If you have an 
adaptor that fills the bill except for a couple of hundred mAs one 
way or the other, it still might be all right, but you should ask 
Alternate Mode if performance will suffer. If you end up needing 
one, call Radio Shack about it first. They don't always carry them.
