kelp Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 I just bought a CK61 and it comes with the PA-150B power adapter. The wire on that seems so thin and I worry about its durability. Anyone able to recommend a more robust alternative? Would any 12V 1.5A center positive adapter do? Thanks!

Delaware Dave Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 yes, and be sure the power supply is regulated. link to one 1 Quote 57 Hammond B3; 69 Hammond L100P; 68 Leslie 122; Kurzweil Forte7 & PC3; M-Audio Code 61; Voce V5+; Neo Vent; EV ELX112P; GSI Gemini & Burn Delaware Dave Exit93band Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Burgess Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 I buy generic CCTV 12V 5A supplies from Amazon all the time. They come in so useful. Well made, with an IEC power in which is cool. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vonnor Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 The DC plug size and type also need to match the factory unit, and the output current rated for at least 1.5 amps. I like to go with a 5A like Adam mentioned, as the wires are heavier - no worries that the Yamaha says 1.5A, the adapter will only supply the amount of current that the keyboard wants. For example the one that Dave linked shows: Standard DC output connector: 2.1 x 5.5mm That means the inside diameter of the plug is 2.1mm and the O.D. is 5.5mm Also the barrel length needs to be long enough to make contact with the ctr pin in the jack (been burned by this before). ~ vonnor Quote Gear: Hardware: Nord Stage4, Korg Kronos 2, Novation Summit Software: Cantabile 3, Halion Sonic 3 and assorted VST plug-ins.

Stokely Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 For my Modx I just bought a backup one with all the same specs, it has sat in my backup case for years. Hate those damn warts with their thin tangly cables....now gigging with just a NS3 and love being able to use standard iec cables. I have some really thin sleeving that I thought about using on it, might still do so if I take my Behringer monitor mixer off my pedalboard where the power is wired into a strip (which is really nice, i just would like the mixer higher up where I can reach it.) I've also thought about heat shrink and how that might work on a wart cable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
