Radias power adaptor

Post by skuppy »

Hi Guys

I am buying a Radias from an US website and want to make sure the power adaptor will work in australia
Can someone please tell me if the power adaptor is 110V - 240V ?
thanks in advance

I don't think so. I'm looking at mine right now.

AC/AC power supply KA163E

INPUT: 120v ~ 60Hz 35w
Output: 9V ~ 3000mA

Model: 57A-9-3000

You'll have to get a power converter or get the appropriate power supply for your area.

thanks Mchale
Funny all the specs say 9volts DC and the power supply is AC/AC.

I have a TR61 also and the ozzie power supply is AC/AC as well

BTW when did you buy your Radias ? US or European ?

Anyway I think I will just buy a replacement power supply from korgs ozzie supplier musiclink.

Still got a bargain given the recent price drop.

thanks again

well got my radias from the US..... :D
the power supply is 110V only as expected
no drama
I just bought a 240V Adaptor for the radias from Musiclink Australia
It cost AU$99 which I wasnt too happy about but considering how cheap I got the radias for it didnt matter anyway

Another option could have been to buy a stepdown transformer (240v to 110V) from like ebay for $100 but you need to careful to buy the right one, wattage wise.

So I have a spare US power adaptor for the radias now.

Did the same thing. Getting a RADIAS from the US for a mere $900AU including shipping and a new power supply is way too good to pass up considering the cheapest retailer in Aus sells them for $2k and RRP being $3k+.

Also have a needless 110V power supply though.

Hey Pistachio

way to go man !
I know I know the cheapest online in Oz is $1900......wtf !
There are bargains to be had especially while the local currency is on par with the US dollar.

enjoy
