RE: [vintagesynthrepair] Arp Odyssey Power 110/220V?

2005-10-25 by Brian Davies

Michael, the other option is to buy an auto-transformer that has a 110V-115V output and a 220V-230V input, then you don\u2019t have to worry about altering anything inside the unit. You plug the input into your mains and the keyboard into the output.

Hi again Brian

Ok, I must admit - I know nothing about electronics like that. To move any wire's around, or anything like that - is just too risky business for me, when I don't know what I'm doing.

But I appreciate what you're saying.

Best,
Michael

I can only suggest that you locate the mains transformer and see what tappings may be on there. Possibly you will have to take a soldering iron to it.

Hi Michael

Looking at the power unit circuit diagram all you need to do is swap the tapping point from 115V to 230V, note that the whole of Europe now operates on 230V although if you measure the voltage you will probably find that it is actually 220V in Denmark, while here in the UK it is 240V as measured!

Given that the diagram clearly shows a tapping system on the input transformer you should find some easy means to adjust the tapping.

Hi All.

I have a question. I just received an Arp Odyssey (Whiteface) in the mail today i bought
from Canada. I live in Denmark (Europe)

The wall-plugs here is different, and we have 220 V in stead of 110 V. I have a converter
for the PLUG ONLY, but Do i also need an external converter to convert my power from
220 to 110 V before i plug it in? I'm not sure if the Arp adjusts itself?

From this diagram i found, it looks as if the Arp can tale 115-230 V - but I'm not sure this
is right. Can anyone please help me with this?
