Using your Dream PlayerMK2

3 Connections

The following section provides detailed instructions for connecting your Dream Player
MK2. To get started quickly, all you need to do is connect the Power Input, and the
Audio Output. Then when you are ready, you can get more advanced and use the Trigger
Inputs and Control Outputs.

3.1 Power Input

The Dream Player can accept AC or DC power inputs.
Typically a wall transformer, or wall-wart is used, but any
suitable AC or DC power supply can be used. Any voltage
from 7V to 24V AC or DC can be used, but the higher the
voltage, the warmer the Dream Player will run. The most
efficient voltage to use is 9VDC. At this voltage, the Dream
Player will draw about 120MAwhen playing, so use a power
supply that can supply 200MA or more of current. If you wish
to power multiple Dream Players, a single larger power
supply can be used, just allow for 200MA for each Dream
Player you wish to power. As a convenience to you, we also
offer wall-transformer power supplies tested and ready to run
with your Dream Player at

The power source used can be shared with other devices, but
be careful as the Audio Ground will be referenced to this
power source. If you observe a buzzing or other interference
noise, it would be best to give your Dream Player its own
power supply.
To connect the power supply to the Dream Player, locate the
2-position "Power Input" terminal strip.
If your desired power-supply comes with a connector on the
end, simply clip it off as shown to the right. Separate the two
wires and strip some insulation off to expose the actual wires
then twist them to keep the strands together. Secure the
stripped wire ends to the 2 terminals of the Power Input
terminal strip. The polarity of an AC or DC power source is
not important as there is a bridge rectifier included with the
Dream Player.
