ka390 power su]ply converter for usa?
Posted: Sat Oct 02, 2021 4:15 pm
I purchased my modwave from the UK via preorder back in june. Its here and sounds really great - but - im using my wavestate ac adapter, because, the plug it shipped with was for the UK. It has that converter so I can switch it out with one of those rotational pieces.
I reached out to korg support but don't expect to hear back just yet. My question is to do with two possibilities on after market products, seeing as I cannot find any ka390 power supplies available for separate purchase [that i could find].
1. Does the converter plug that fits over the power supply have its own power 'handling' properties [i.e. lets say it fits the same way on the adapter, will it have problems with voltage, in other words, will its design differ in any electrical way if i get an after market one that ships with a different one, say this micro usb one [id only use the round usa converter/connecter]?

2. If I choose to go entirely with an aftermarket ac adapter with close-enough-ish characteristics, [and this is the closest i found so far], would it present with any operational issues for the synth going forward?

Thanks
fyi, the properties of the ka390 power supply seem to be
input 100-240 v, 50-60 hz, 1.5 A
output 12 v, 2.5 A, 30 W
