The presence of a voltage selector at least implies an internal mains supply and putting it next to the connector under question suggests that they are associated. The connector type rings a faint bell, I may even have one somewhere (given time!), it's not one I would ever use myself. I wonder if it was one of those types that was intended to be "safe" as regards accidental contact whichever side was used as inlet or outlet, like the Cannon XLR-LNE type (a somewhat dodgy philosophy, IMHO! as inevitably some users used it the opposite way round to others...).

Yeah, whip the lid off and have a look!
