I am looking for a unit I can use in my home and car for an MP3 player transmitter, is this a good fit for both applications and are both 120VAC and 12VDC power sources provided?

This is a fairly powerful little transmitter, I can hear my broadcast up to two+ miles away depending on obstacles in the way. As such it is vastly more than you would need for an in car MP3 player transmitter. It also only comes with 120v power source and has a fairly long solid antenna. Would it work? Yes it would, however you would need to source your own 12vdc power source. It just might not be the best possible choice for in-car usage in my humble opinion.

This unit is great for home. You can get about a block using the short antenna and 100mw. At .5W I'm sure it would travel a long way. Probably a bad fit for your car (overkill). Amazon sells lower priced short range FM tx for your car. Search MP3 FM transmitter for car. Hope this helps! Have a good day!

I think this item would be overkill for car use. The included power cord is only for 110 v use.

no just 120v adapter.... You would have to go to radioshack for that. This is a bit big for car use. I would not use it for that...

The unit comes with an AC adapter to use with 110VAC. There is also a standard 5.x 12VDC adapter on the back with the 110VAC plugs into. I have used it to play back mp3s while doing yard work and it works just great - 0.1W will give you about 1/4 mile of reception with no trouble. Haven't tried it in a car, but with the suitable 5.x plug, should be easy to wire to a car outlet.

I live on an Acre and it works great on my property. As far as the car I can not answer but I would say if you and people an acre away want to listen to your MP3 go for it. I would add this thing will broadcast further than my property. :-) Have a great day!!!

This unit is about the size of a car radio and ships with an external 120vac to 12vdc switch mode power supply, but not a cord for automotive use. Also ships with a 50 ohm quarter wave 87 MHz telescopic dipole mounted to a standard BNC connector. Cautionary note on rear of unit indicates that it is sensitive to, and will be damaged by unloaded and mismatched operation, so one must be familiar with transmitter loading requirements to adapt it for automotive use.

Not intended to be portable, no batteries designed in. There is a 120vac wall wart plug-in but I am unsure what the output voltage & current are. However, if you have some electronics smarts, you could likely rig up a converter to go from the car's 12vdc to whatever the radio requires. Would not think that would cost too much. I'll have a look at it when I get home.

I know this is an old post but it may help someone. Interesting that they'd say 9-12V. It will probably work, but this is what I know about car electronics. I'm a product design and electrical engineer and I've developed lots of products that plug into car cigarette lighter sockets. The 12V power is really "noisy" meaning there are spikes and jolts and surges all over the place. It's a nominal 13.5V on most electrical systems, though the newer cars with advanced electronics may clean that up a bit. But here's the deal: The "nominal" (average) already exceeds their 9-12V spec, and when you consider the spikes and surges, I'd think you'd be risking blowing out your DVD unit to plug it in with a direct 12V cord. The 9V cord not only transforms it down to a lower input voltage, but it has a switching regulator that adapts very quickly to quell spikes and surges. The replacement adapter from Philips is $12, but hey, that already fried! It probably didn't "fry itself", but more likely was fried by the car you used it in which may have had worse surges than the average car. I would get the $20 one from Radio Shack (m/n 273-369). Take in your player to a store and they'll fix you up with the correct tip in the right configuration. I'm not insensitive to your need for economy, but you are risking frying your whole $130 DVD player for want of $10 or $20 for a good power cord. Go without those Lattes for a week and get a quality power cord.

Like the other's said, its 12 volts not 120 volts. You would be better off using a home EQ. If you are looking to save a little you can probably find 1 at a pawn shop.

This is a mobile unit, 12 to 14 volts. You would have to buy a power inverter allowing 120 volts to step down to 14 (peaking) volts and allowing for 30 amps. (A capacitor helps too) You would also have to make sure and use preamp inputs so high wattage from the reciever didn't blow it up.All that being said, I would never have connected one to my 2/6/12 volt battery charger and hooked it up to a set of Petras/ heart sound, cardiac serries 15s in my shop. *wink, wink*

This unit will not work for you. It is 120 V and has electronic circuitry in it which will not tolerate just a different plug.

Sorry, I do not have faintest idea where you might find one outside of Philips. But, you might try the Radio Shack and look for a pin compatible device that has an output of 15 volts at 5.4 watts with a max current output of 300 milli-amps. Good luck.

http://www.convertunits.com/from/mA/to/watt/volt Here is the conversion I found. The product only has marked 600 mA (milliamps). I ran the conversions and 600 mA came out to 0.6.watts. On the backside the info listed is: 600 mA Input: 100/120VAC. 50/60Hz 0.3Amzx Vout DC: 3, 4.5, 6, 7.5, 9, 12 On the front in has a voltage selector that can be moved to any of the following: 12V, 9V, 7.5V, 6V, 4.5V, 3V It also has a selector on the side that goes from (+) to (-) for me it it toward the (+). I use mine for an old personal single CD player. I did not change any settings, I put on the size adapter I needed, plugged it in and it works great for me. I do not know what all this information means but I hope it help answer your question.

No, this unit's output power is strictly 12 volt DC, not AC. If you're looking to power an AC or small household device using a 12 volt DC battery look-up or Google "12 volt DC to 120 volt AC power converter ". They are common and often used in vehicles via the cigarette lighter socket to power small household AC devices that plug into 120 volt AC outlets used in homes across America. The secret to using 12-volt DC to 120 volt AC power converters is to know what wattage rating they have verses the wattage used by the household device. You can't plug a hair dryer into a DC to AC power converter outlet that's rated at 500 or 750 watts contiuous because most hair dryers use 1500 watts! In other words you have to know your power converter wattage rating AND the wattage your household device uses.

I apologize for not responding at the time of request. IF you want to power an average to moderate sound system a 1200 watt would do and probably run a 4 to 6 cubic foot refrig also. this would require at least one or two large 12 volt batteries in parallel some #2 to 0 gauge cable meant for this application an overload protection fuse and an adequate source of 12 volt dc power generation ( solar or automobile or other ) to keep it going for an extended amount of time. Keeping the cable connection between your battery source and inverter as short as possible will allow you to use the smallest appropriate gauge wire necessary. for the money I would probably recommend a 1600 or 2000 watt inverter the price starts to multiply past that point. Money and maintenance become an issue past this point so a 1000 to 2000 watt gas camping generator might be a more flexible way to go. Champion,Yamaha and Honda all have excellent reviews especially the champion 2000 to 2400 watt units. Amazon carries a wide variety and the reviews and pricing are all excellent. SORRY I COULD NOT REPLY SOONER I HOPE IT HELPS.

Look at one of these MegaWatt (TM) S-350-12 30 Amp 9.5-15 Volts Adjustable Ham CB Radio Power Supply 13.8V 12V 33A Peak Not a Clone Real MegaWatt MW The 33 Watt is a little overkill, but you won't find anything better in this price range. It's almost funny, these MegaWatt power supplies are a clone of Meanwell supplies, but they ended up being twice as good :) If you shop for others, keep in mind you need at least 20 watts for this radio.

The unit works on 12 volt DC.From the output of the adapter that converts 120 volt AC. to 12 Volt DC.

Our transmitter is plugged into 120 volt AC outlet. You may have to purchase an adapter. Best best is to call the company who make the transmitter, I believe HiTech. We run a 60 cycle AC in here. My friend is from Sweden and I will check with her to see what outlets they use there and what's compatible for you.

this is a great lil unit for the money, but it is not meant for automobiles. It is meant for home use. it requires a 110 AC volt wall wart (transformer) Even though it runs on 9 volts DC you would have to find the proper 12 volt to 9 volt DC to DC converter then it's possible that you could use it although again it was designed for home use.

It is a 50 amp supply and will provide that at 12 volts continually. Your amp needs 120 amps. Oh those specs imply big external capacitors to deliver 5000 watts. It can only take in 1440 watts (120 amps x 12 volts) and they don't create power.

This is for a stationary video player that requires a 12 dc power supply. Use in car, connect to car power source or for home/office there's a 12vdc wall plug in transformer required. The 2 channel input are rca jacks, 1 separate set for each channel. Once powered, unlimited number of headphones in range will sound.
