Hi Folks.
Can anyone confirm the US connection on the KN7000, I am talking the physical connection not the 240v UK to 120v US.

I was told that a KN7000 mains lead, the plug that connects power to the
KN7000 was available in the US. Is this correct?
I am talking about the Shape of the plug
That fits into the KN7000 socket.
In the UK the connection is a standard figure of eight shape, is this different
to the US connection?
Kind regards.
Joe

Hi there - its worth mentioning that the UK mains-out lead (figure of eight shape) is the same type of lead that you would use on a portable radio i.e. nothing particularly sophisticated about it........Joan

Joan is correct when she says the mains lead is standard as I found out recently (to my delight).

I was setting up at a 'gig' and found to my horror the mains lead was missing. What could I do? Despite the sophistication of the KN7 or indeed and any other electrical product they are all absolutely useless without a mains lead. Luckily for me, a resident loaned me his Hi Fi mains lead and it worked perfectly.

However, I now keep an additional mains lead in the car -just in case.....

"live and learn" as the saying goes!

Aud (U.K.)

Joan and Audrey -

You CLEARLY have misunderstood Joe. NO WAY is the connection from the KN7000 out the same as keyboards designed for the US. Trust me for Joe is inquiring for me. I have a KN6500 (US model) and the power cord will NOT go in the KN7000 I now own that is designed for the UK. We are talking apples and oranges. You BOTH are in the UK and do not understand the AC power of North America.

Well nsr007 - You have also CLEARLY misunderstood my clarification of the UK lead!

Nowhere did I suggest that this UK lead would connect to a KN7 manufactured for the US market OR that an US lead would connect to a UK KN7.

I don't have to understand the AC power of North America to do this - HAVE A NICE DAY!!!..........Joan

Joan, dear -

You were confirming to Joe what he already knew since he is in the UK. He was speaking of US connection. One must read carefully what another posts. You have a nice day.

Joe, the end of the cord that fits into the KN7K is 8 shaped, however one end is rounded and the other is flat. Would this be the same as the UK?

Hi Bud
so nice to hear from you again!!
The UK is a figure of eight shape, But it is round on all edges.Anyone got a file??
just kidding!!
Thanks for the info.kind regards.
Joe.

nsr007 DEAR ( Drop the sarcasm and prickly attitude please ) You have asked others to carefully read the post but you didn't obviously didn't understand Joan's reply which pointed out it that it is a STANDARD power cable in the UK ie. one could assume that if they used a STANDARD cable in the UK then they probably followed a similar approach in the US. Did you know that already because the original question doesn't make mention of it which is why Joan and Audrey mentioned it. If you did maybe YOU should have posted the original question yourself instead of through Joe.

Besides YOU are the one that has both a UK and US Technics keyboard in front of you so you know exactly what sort of plug is required because you have already tried to plug one in, so what are you confused about anyway? Visit a local electronics store and see for yourself whether it is available or not. Else just simply modify the UK power cable you have. Of course if the Technics doesn't have a 120/240 voltage switch ( I don't know details of the model ) then just forget about it and would explain why they made sockets that you can't accidentally plug the wrong power chord into.
