It's not a cable, but a custom power supply.
Here's one on eBay:

Your exact model may differ depending on your mains power. MXEU1 for Europe.

ah i see, thank you for the reply, thats a heck of a lot of money just for a power supply i was hoping to not have to pay an exorbitant fee for it, i am also from the UK and the import fee is huge
i was hoping to be able to splice something together and avoid the huge cost or are there are any other mixers that use the same custom power supply and can i splice a 3 pin onto it

They're a little exotic being 2x19V. A chum of mine recently had to replace a 2x17V (I think) PSU for a Yamaha device and that cost about £50 for a generic PSU

Power supplies are somewhat of a hazard to build, kinda in the category where "if you have to ask whether you can build one, you probably shouldn't" because messing with mains voltages the worst-case situation is burning the house down or stopping your heart with an electric shock or various other not-so-nice situations... and there might even be regulatory concerns and if you screw up your insurance is unlikely to cover damage caused by DIY mains equipment... and you might not even save much 'cos the parts (and perhaps tools) will set you back some anyway (the stuff tends to be much more expensive per part if you just buy a few)... so like realistically not worth it.
