CyrusVesuvala Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 I recently bought a Line6 XD-V75HS Mic system thru amazon and it came with a DC1g power adapter. The cardboard box of the adaptor unit has " US: Input 120V 60Hz" tick marked. The unit itself though says "120-240 V 50-60Hz" See pictures attached. As I live in Bahrain, a country where the power is 220V 50Hz, I want to know whether it is safe if I use the supplied adapter as it is, and simply plug it into the mains supply without any step down voltage transformer unit.

phil_m Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Well, I'd trust the label on the power supply more than I'd care about what the box says. This is just a switching power supply, so it makes sense that it would work with a broad range of input voltages. I think you'll be fine without a transformer. EDIT: According to this article, the DC-1g is indeed universal, and will work without a transformer. http://line6.com/support/page/kb/_/general-faq/power-supplybattery-specs-and-faq-r445 Q: I am traveling overseas. How should I power my Line 6 device?A: You can buy any adapter that converts your country's power to these specs and it will work. Any electronics store in your country should be able to sell you one, or you can contact your local Line 6 dealer. Be aware that the DC-1g and DC-3g power supplies are “universal†across all voltage and power standards around the world, and you will only need the appropriate adapter for a new region rather than a different power supply or transformer.

Sheriton Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 The label on the box is all about the physical aspect of the PSU - the right plug to fit in the local socket. It's essentially a travel adapter that you might need to enable you to plug it in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
