Overview

The Tascam PS-P520U is a universal AC adapter designed to keep your Tascam recording gear powered up no matter where your work takes you. With an input voltage range of 100–240V, the adapter handles mains power worldwide, and the included plug adapters for the US, Japan, UK, Europe, Oceania, and Korea mean you can leave third-party travel adapters at home. Whether you're tracking field audio overseas or powering a desktop interface in your home studio, this single adapter has you covered.

The kit includes three USB cables—Type-A to Type-C, Type-A to Micro-B, and Type-A to DC—covering the vast majority of modern Tascam products from the Portacapture X8 down to the DR-10L Pro and US-1x2HR interface. It delivers 5 volts at up to 18 watts, providing stable, consistent power during extended recording sessions. One important caveat: the included cables are for power delivery only and do not support data transfer, so keep your original data cable handy. Devices that use a mini USB connection, such as the DR-05, DR-07MKII, and DP-008EX, will need the mini USB cable that shipped with those products, as one is not included in this kit.
