AC Power Hookup

The DEQ230D has what’s known as a “switching power supply.” This means it will detect any standard line voltage from 90 to 230 volts, 50-60 Hz, and adapt itself to that. All you need is the proper A/C cable for the country in which you find yourself. Just plug the "female" end of the power cable into the DEQ230D’s POWER receptacle and the “male” end into a good quality, noise-free A/C power source.

The DEQ230 will work with any standard line voltage from 100 to 240 volts as long as the appropriate detachable power supply adapter is used. The DEQ230 has been shipped with the suitable adapter for the line voltage in your area.

Plug the "barrel" end of an approved power supply adapter into the DEQ230’s POWER 9V AC jack and the transformer end into a good quality, noise-free AC power source of the proper rating.

To use the DEQ230 in another country:

Your DEQ230 was supplied with the correct power supply adapter for your country or local area. If you plan to travel with it to another country, obtain an Alesis AC power supply adapter compatible with the outlets used in the other country and use it in place of the supplied adapter. These can be obtained through your Alesis dealer or through the Alesis Parts department.
