Zoom AD-14 5V DC Power Adapter

The Zoom AD-14 is a dedicated external power adapter for select Zoom recorders, audio interfaces, and production devices. It provides regulated 5V DC power for compatible equipment when dependable wall-powered operation is preferred over battery use. Its 100–240V AC input rating supports use with compatible mains power systems.

This adapter is intended for Zoom users running an H4n, H4n Pro, R16, R24, UAC-2, PodTrak P8, or select ARQ and Q3-series products. It is useful for extended recording sessions, desktop production setups, podcasting, and other applications where continuous operation is needed. Confirm the receiving device is on the compatibility list before connecting it.

The AD-14 supplies DC power at 5V and up to 1A, with center-positive polarity. As a power accessory rather than an audio device, it does not process, color, or route audio signals. It simply provides the specified power connection for compatible Zoom hardware.

Zoom designs the AD-14 specifically around the power requirements of supported products, avoiding the need to select a third-party supply by voltage alone. Correct output voltage, current capacity, and polarity are important when replacing an adapter. This model is identified as the Zoom AD-14, with manufacturer part number ZAD0014D.

For a recording or production system, the AD-14 can serve as a replacement or spare power supply for a supported Zoom device. Its captive output cable keeps the adapter and device lead together for straightforward setup. It is a practical accessory for fixed workspaces, mobile rigs with AC access, and longer sessions where battery changes are inconvenient.

Design & Installation

The AD-14 is a compact external AC-to-DC power adapter with an attached output cable. Zoom does not publish material or enclosure-construction details for this model. Its dedicated design centers on delivering the specified 5V DC, center-positive output to supported equipment.

Connect the adapter to an appropriate AC outlet, then connect its captive DC plug to the matching power input on a compatible Zoom product. Verify that your exact device is listed as compatible and use only where its required power specification matches the AD-14 output. Do not substitute it for products requiring a different voltage, current rating, connector, or polarity.
