I've just picked up an XP-30 (very nice machine) which was originally purchased in Taiwan and so has an Asian 117V mains power-rating on the unit , along with a US-type power plug.
However the previous owner had been running it on the normal Australian 240V mains (using a simple plug adaptor (not step-down transformer). It was running fine when I demoed the machine too...
Does anyone know if Roland fitted universal (multi-voltage) power supplies inside the later (XP onwards) synths?
I know older models (S-50, D-50, Juno-2, etc) all had multi-voltage mains transformers inside, but you have to manually rewire the transformer inputs to select the relevant voltage...
... or am I playing with fire running it on 240 volts?
Just to be safe, I've been using it with a 110V step-dwon transformed since I brought it home and it's going just fine...
I haven't opened the unit up yet - too many screws - but would appreciate it if anyone out there could offer comments or suggestions...
Cheers,
Mike.
