That's right. It says nothing. If it indicates '110 V', the PSU may accept 220 V as well.

But it may also *not* accept 220 V.

I wouldn't do that without being absolutely certain that the PSU or, worse, the mobo won't be damaged...

Btw, if Korg put a universal supply into the Kronos, why did they put different voltage labels on the Kronoi demo'ed in the USA and on the Kronoi demo'ed in Europe?

up. kronos will be there tomorrow. thanx

i just plugged in my kronos marked 120v (usa) in france (240v): no problem

Confirmed - plugged the US model into UK plug, no problem

Can you please confirm does kronos use 3pin plug or 2 pin plug. I am experiencing minor current shock on my kronos body, when using the 2 pin plug. The keyboard is functioning perfectly fine though.

Can anyone help me out with this issue?

Having just installed 2nd drive to my Kronos, I checked the iec 3 pin power socket, and can confirm that the earth pin is connected to Kronos metal chassis, (as indeed it should be as mains not double insulated. ) So yes a 3 pin.
FWIW, I am powering my 120V labelled Kronos on 230V. My local workshop pointed out that there was only 1 part number for a Kronos power supply. It is universal voltage in . Worked like this for almost a year.

The PSU is multivoltage.
I imported mine from the US and yes it says 120v but you plug in ANY IEC cable and it will work.

Even I was confused in the beginning... The Kronos is a top notch workstation that is meant for some quality professional use. I would be very disappointed if it did not have a universal adapter.

When my Kronos 88 was being shipped from the USA, I was referring to many forums to see if I had to keep a step down transformer ready here in India. But the problem is no one knew and could confidently say you don't need one, even the Korg dealers here. Also, the step down transformers are of many types and a wrong one might also damage your precious keyboard.

I contacted the Korg USA support and got a confirmation that it is a universal adapter and I would only require the plug point convertor.



With that confidence I plugged my Kronos 88 to the 220V Indian socket and it just works fine. Keeping in mind the voltage fluctuations, a voltage stabilizer might be required but the not the step down transformer. Its just another unneeded piece in between.

All Kronos versions (US/DK) , use Chinese fan-less switching mode power supply module "Enhance ENO-1612 120W" which operates
safely from 80-300 volts (AC/DC or any waveform) , therefore no matter of 120/220 Volt label indication , you can use it worldwide !
Input is dipole (upper pins) plus chassis ground , no voltage stabilizer is required though the use of a cheap offline UPS will be wise
as in any computing device !

Hello,

I am in the same situation as most people here (sorry if the Post is old)
but thinking of importing a KRONOS LS 88 from USA > Israel

Power in the USA 110V, Power in Israel 220V will it auto-switch?
will there be any effect on the sound quality?

Thank You,

The same here 220V ...
Kronos PSU (SMPS) works from 80 to 300 volts AC as the most keyboards PSU , so do not worry ...
