Glad I read all the replies since I was also going to suggest Canon connectors. I have used the 3 pin canon because they are easy to find and I am not going to plug a microphone into a power supply. The breakout box is unique enough to not get it confused with anything else. (Not suitable for the general public!!!)
That said, the 4 pin canon is a good idea. It is a power supply standard. You can find cables online. Mine is designed for battery use. I put reverse biased diodes across the supply and use a fuse. I never hooked it up backwards but you never know. If you need to make holes for the Canon jacks, those Harbor Freight multi-hole drills work fine.
