DJM600 Power Supply
View this Thread in Original format

I recently accuired a canadian model DJM 600.
Since power in Norway opperates in 220V, I'll need to convert the power.

I can get a cheap adapter but it says 110 to 220.

Will this work alright?
I mean, It wont short circuit the mixer right?

First check your manual if there isn't a switch anywhere, cuz usually there is one. If there is not, the converter should work just fine

I agree. I believe there is some type of switch. Possibly internal. Check manual or call pioneer.
sirhiss
Yeah, I called my local electrician, and he said most advanced pieces of electronical equipent have a switch like that, but the manual doesnt say anything about one, and I cant find it anywhere.
So I carefully unscrewed the top of the mixer, looking for a huge "VOLTAGE SELECTOR" swith ( which of course I didn't find ).
I did see a portion of text that had been covered with a felt tip pen or something.
When I held it under the light I could see it said 250V (among some technical giberish I couldn't understand )
Does this mean the voltage cant be changed?

The specs say 110-120/240-250

So yes, you should be able to switch it
Tiger777
Probably, maybe you should quote in here what they say about it...
sirhiss
Nowhere in my manual nor on my mixer ( exept for where i mentioned in my previous post ) does it say anything about 220-250V.

Well on this site it says:

Power Supply: AC 110-120/220-230/240 V, 50/60 Hz


But I searched around and there are other sites that just say 220, so I guess it depends on what your manual says, so I assume there ISN'T a switch so you'll have to buy an adaptor.
sirhiss
Yeah , I'm guessing that "AC 110-120/220-230/240 V, 50/60 Hz" is just reffering to the power supply that the american and european models each require.
Mine says 120V 60Hz.
Maybe because it's a relatively old model ( sept. 2000 ).
hey cheggy
I have a 600 and there is a switch on the back. You don't have to open anything up at all, its next to the XLR outs. says voltage slector 220-240 110-120.

sirhiss
You must have a slightly different model than me, because mine doesn't.
I ended up buying a voltage converter, and it works fine. A small concern I have is that this adapter has a maximum effect of 33W, and I'm unsure if this will do if I ever use it on a PA.
