I love your Nord Leads for long years.

I have these Nord series
Nord Lead 3
Nord Rack 3
Nord Lead 2X

I live in Japan next year.
But Japanese power supply voltage is 100 V AC

50Hz(East Japan frequency)
60Hz(West Japan frequency) Confused

How can I use it?

Thanks

I'd be worried a bit ...not for damaging the synth ... but the NL3 is known to be a bit troublsome on bad power supplies and 100 V is not much for a synth really wanting 115 V ... 60 Hz / 50 Hz should be no issue as for all I know Clavia ships synths with the same transformer to both 50 Hz and 60 Hz places.

You may need some transformer to step the voltage up a bit, but you could first try to just plug it in, see what happens - as US volage is 110 both the voltage setting and the fuse should be OK.

Wonder if there are any Japanese NL3 users around here.
