Re: [elektron] voltage conversion

2002-11-28 by steril707

hmmm, i also worry that this might be the case. i am just wondering 
why all my other stuff works with that voltage converter.

it seems they have another voltage converter in the venue i will be 
playing tomorrow, so there is still a chance it will work.

 i didnt have problems before when using the md with voltage 
converters. but those were more "big". the one i am using now can 
convert up to 85 watt, which should have been enough, since the md is 
just using 15 to 20 watt, if i remember the documentation correctly. 

this behaviour is kind of disappointing to me. i have to rely on my 
equipment while being on tour, and i cannot afford travelling with a 
choosy "Princess".*grin*

anyway, does somebody know what kind of specs a power adapter unit 
needs, thats able to power up the md. maybe i can buy a japanese one 
here, and use it.

Greetz and sayonara,
Steril-San

sensitive about the adapter, and sent me a new one. Havn't had any
