Re: 9VAC Mains Adapter for UK

Posted by zarquon on November 14, 2004 at 11:53:09:
Are you sure you need a 3.4 amp adapter? According to their web sites, the Art DI/O takes 800mA, and the Super DAC 500mA (at 9V ac).
You can buy 1A adapters from the common electronic component suppliers, such as
http://www.rapidelectronics.co.uk (9V 1A AC PSU 2.1mm, 85-1662 £4.95)
http://rswww.com
http://www.maplin.co.uk/
http://custom1.farnell.com/cpc/
These adapters are also used with many common keyboards, so you might also find one at a pro music shop, such as
http://www.dv247.com
http://www.academyofsound.com/
http://www.guitarampkeyboard.com
and many others (see Sound on Sound magazine for adverts)
If you really want higher current and can use a soldering iron and a few simple tools, just buy a bare 240V-9V transformer from one of the component suppliers listed above, and a plastic case, and wire it up yourself.
Hope this helps
regards
Zarquon
