Hi all!
I have an Eventide PowerFactor and I am wondering if it will power the V-Studio 100 and a few other things.  Any help appreciated.
The power factor has 4 9 volt connectors and 3 that can handle 9 volt or twelve volt.  It comes with about a dozen various types of connector cables.
 
I know enough about power supplies to know that I don't know anything about power supplies, except that a mismatch can do damage.  I don't know anything about milliamps or anything like that, nor do I know anything about center positive cables or anything like that.
 
Here is what I want to power and the information that is on the power supply that came with it.  I won't pretend that I understand anything I am writing here- just copying off the power supply.
 
V-Studio 100:  Input 100-240V 0.4A 50-60Hz.  Model PSB-1U
AdrenaLinn III:  9v DC
Joe Meek 3Q preamp compressor equalizer:  Input AC 120v 60Hz  Output AC 12V 1000 mA
Eventide H9:  input 100-240 VAC0/60Hz 0.2A output 9.0v 500mA  I assume that Eventide powers Eventide but best to be sure.  Here is a link to the power factor info if that helps:  http://www.eventide.com/AudioDivision/Products/Accessories/PowerFactor.aspx
 
All help appreciated.  Thanks!

Not sure how this is a Sonar X question sorry, there is forum for hardware.

Hi Len
 
As far as the eventide goes it hasn't got enough power to use with anything other than pedals and things that it was made for. You are talking about 4 channels at 100 mA each (0.1 A) and three outputs at 400 mA (0.4A) which is not much at all. And the transformers are not suitable for larger circuits.
You also have this (Joe Meek 3Q preamp compressor equalizer:  Input AC 120v 60Hz  Output AC 12V 1000 mA) in your list which uses alternating current(AC) and not Direct Current(DC).
If I were you I would go to a radio shack or any other electronic power supplier and let them look at what you need as far as powersupplies go only for the sake of not blowing up the powersupplies or the equipment that is hookt up to it.
