Got my Compact 4 mixer on ebay, came with a beat up old type heavy power supply. After a while the output wire broke at the case. Bought a similar used adapter on ebay and also a new $12 lightweight adapter from amazon. Tried the new one. Didn't like. The used adapter lasted a few years until 2 weeks ago when it's output cable also broke at the case. On a project so started using the cheapie. Noticed the mixer was getting warm (maybe not enough output amps ?) after a couple hours of use with phantom 48v to the mic which never happened with the heavy adapters. Specs on the labels for old and new types are same.
Found a new $45 (!) heavy adapter on amazon, spec and type per manual for compact 4. Running nice and cool again. Googled old vs new, some say toss the old heavy type. Maybe that's not such a great idea.
