Zoom ZAD19 AD-19 12V DC Power Adapter

The Zoom AD-19 is a dedicated AC power adapter for select Zoom recorders, mixers, and audio interfaces. It supplies regulated DC power from a standard AC outlet, making it useful for longer recording sessions, studio work, live production, and fixed installations. It is designed for users who want to power a compatible Zoom device without relying solely on batteries.

With a rated 12V DC, 2A output, the AD-19 provides the power specification required by its supported Zoom products. Its center-positive polarity matches the listed compatible equipment. The adapter is intended as a replacement or additional power supply for compatible Zoom systems.

This is a power accessory rather than an audio processor, so it does not alter sound character or add signal processing. Its role is to provide consistent external power to the connected device. That can be especially practical when operating a recorder or mixer for extended periods near an AC outlet.

The AD-19 accepts 100-240V AC input at 50/60 Hz, allowing use across regions when paired with the appropriate outlet connection arrangement. Its maximum output rating is 24 watts. Confirm the power requirements and connector compatibility of the specific Zoom product before connecting it.

The adapter supports a range of Zoom field recorders, LiveTrak mixers, and audio interfaces, including the F8-series, LiveTrak L-series, TAC-8, and UAC-8. For the Zoom F4, use requires the appropriate Zoom DC-to-Hirose adapter cable. It is a straightforward choice for adding dedicated mains power to a compatible Zoom recording or production setup.

Design & Installation

The AD-19 is a compact corded power adapter built for use as a dedicated Zoom accessory. Zoom specifies its electrical ratings, center-positive output polarity, and supported-product compatibility, while detailed housing-material specifications are not published. The design is intended for stable AC-powered operation of compatible Zoom equipment.

Connect the adapter to a suitable AC outlet, then connect its DC output to the power input of a listed compatible Zoom product. Verify the device model before use, and use the required DC-to-Hirose adapter cable when powering a Zoom F4. Do not substitute it for equipment that requires a different voltage, polarity, current rating, or connector type.
