Safe to use US-to-UK converter plugs?

Just got some hardware gear that didn't come with a US plug, but a plug for the UK.

Is it reasonably safe to just buy a converter plug?

Thanks,
Joe

    If the power supplies can automatically switch from 240v to 120v
    then it’s okay otherwise you’ll have to get new power supplies.

  • UK has a different voltage, so you have to check what is the device voltage rating. If it does support 120 V, then an adapter plug should be enough, otherwise you'll need to get a transformer.

    What's the device? As @Gravitas said, some can switch automatically. There are also some that can be switched easily by flipping the orientation of a switch like thing internally and changing the fuses. (The switch is actually the way the fuse holder is plugged in sometimes.) I have some rack gear that I bought in the UK that I was able to convert this way. My guitar amp from the UK I had to rewire the connections to the transformer and change the fuse, but that worked too because of the type of transformer that Laney used on the amp.

  • Behringer RD-9 just came in from Anderton's UK. So close, yet so far, from playing it!

  • So I emailed Andertons to send a power supply.

    And I impulsively ordered this from Amazon.

  • I don't mind trying something for $12 bucks.

    I do mind frying something due to impatience.

    It looks like the power supply in your pic is US compatible: down to 100 V and 60 Hz. But I suppose that lovely wall plug snaps into it. So you'd need an alternative snap-in plug, or an adapter that can convert the big MK plug to US standard.

  • @joegrant413

    It is a switch mode power supply with the appropriate power ratings.
    100-240v AC to 18v dc.
    Change the plastic connector and you’re good to go.

    Thanks, folks!

    So my game plan is to open the door tomorrow from my Amazon delivery, and plug the US converter plug into the UK plug that will snap onto the Behringer power supply.

    Then to receive whenever what Anderton's should have sent me today :)

    Then to report to this forum if the RD9 rocks out and if the feeling of that drum machine under my fingers matters more than just using the Audiokit 909 on my iPad!

    Cheers,
    Joe
