I'd be loathed to take their word for it! I would want to know 1) the output voltage, 2) the current capacity, 3) whether or not the output is regulated dc, 4) the plug type, and 5) the polarity of the plug. If the specs don't match the unit, it might not work - worse, it could do some damage...

I would buy it. Some midi controllers come with adapters like this..

Thanks for all the input, frying the controller is exactly what I'm fearing, just waiting now for the seller to email me back about the full specs

Make sure if it comes with those little adapter heads you choose the correct fit, if you fit one up from the right one it could cause heat on your laptop connection or worse still you might lose the charging from it and the lappy dies on you in the middle of your show.
Other than that and it is a decent adapter you should be ok.

@tayla, check the link it is a fixed socket, it's supposed to be made for the djc4, but wondering if I should instead maybe get the universal I saw on amazon though it's rated 2.5a and the djc4 says 1.5a and Stanton says 2a
@chuck, already been there man, they told me they do not make an adapter for the unit but I would need a 6v at 2a

would using a powered hub for the usb do the trick??
geposted Sat 08 Sep 12 @ 12:45 pm
Thanks for the tip chuck, hadn't thought of that but I just tested it on my belkin hub, and sure enough emergency through and mic still worked with the computer turned off. Good looking out, you just saved me $30;^]

I carry two of these, because I have been there.

I had looked at the hosa, but stanton told me 2a where the hosa is only 1.2a, but since I got it working with my 3.5a powered hub I'm all gravy;^]
