DC Power Adaptor Kontrol S4
DC Power Adaptor Kontrol S4 Posted on: 14.12.2010 by Dane Shuping After sending 3 emails to Native Instruments, spoke at the community
of Native (http://www.native-instruments.com/fo...015#post770015) and have sent an email to the manufacturer Adaptor (who told me they can not sell it).I'm a little mad... I lost my DC Adaptor loast week... Native does not answer and I bought this: http://parts.digikey.com/1/parts/730...00-p5p-sz.html with a 2.1mm to 2.5mm adapter, it arrive on Thursday in my home... but I'm not sure if the voltage is appropriate. Do any of you have bought some extra adapter? | |

Typically a manufacturer will show you whether it is tip positive or tip negative. Since there is no polarity indicated on either the S4 back panel or the S4 wall wart, it must take care of the polarity internally. Hope your replacement works out!! Post back and let us all know if it works OK... If you are picking up weird buzzes in your audio, I would say that you should reverse the polarity of the power supply. Good luck! |
