Can't seem to find this info in the manual.

Will 650mA be enough to power it? Or do I need more?

The Monologue specified power consumption is 2.5W from a 9V supply, which equates to a current of approximately 275mA. This doesn't tie in exactly with the projected battery life of alkaline and NiMH batteries, but 650mA should be suffficient.

I've noticed that there is nowhere to find a lot of the Korg instrument amperage requirements. I want to buy a multi-head adaptor for my Volca's, KP3+ and a couple of other 9v devices, but if they all run on 500ma, there's no point in getting a 6 head adaptor as the Korg KA350 only pumps out 1700ma (according to a retailer who had it's amperage listed but no other Korg gear amperage requirements). Guess I could get a nice and stupidly powerful 9v 3amp psu then sell the KA350's I have (they go for about $50aud brand new here, a 9v PSU @ 3000ma from Jaycar (cat#MP3496) goes for $30 minus 5 cents https://www.jaycar.com.au/switchmode-plugpack-9vdc-3a-7-plug/p/MP3496).

I actually found a 3A 9v power supply from Little Bird Electronics (company from Sydney) yesterday for $16. Here it is:

And here is the adapter to make the barrel 1.7mm:

Cool, Hornsby too, easy to get to and avoid overpriced shipping. Just hope the image is for descriptive purposes only as it's a USA pin configuration and isn't one of those ones that come with 5 different attachments for international use. Telephones are great for solving such mysteries though Wink
