Hi,

Can I use a regular 12v DC power adapter for Encore 5? I lost my original B&O power adapter. I’m thinking to modify the DC power cable.

1. What voltage is required? 12v? 5v? Do I require 2 separate voltages to power up?

2. What’s IR at pin 4?

I don’t require to link to external speakers or such, I’m only using the headphones OUT jack. So just looking to power up the Encore 5 will do.

thanks in Advanced!

I would suspect that 2 of the pins is Ground and probably internally connected.

If you have a multimeter you could do some continuity testing to find out if any of them is connected.

hope this could help you a little
