Title: Korg MR-1000 External power source
Post by: slade on July 24, 2007, 01:43:38 PM
Just wondering what people are using for external power for the Korg MR-1000. I was doing some searching and came across this:

http://www.tekkeon.com/site/products-mypall-adapt3450.php

Do you think it would work, and if so how much time should I expect from the 12V option.

Thx

bump...

I need a battery solution for the MR-1000 as well.
Anyone yet try getting a Wally battery to work with the Korg MR-1000?

I would think the largest 50WH version would run the MR-1000 for 8-10 hours. Any of the 3 will work.

I use the BatteryGeek 10-14-88 and it will last 15 hours or more.

Welcome to the BMW M6 of battery packs

Why don't they just say Ferrari or Porsche?   I guess the owner of Battery Geeks own's an M6 and wants to brag :)

they also have a line of batteries they call their 'commercial line' with capacities of up to 444wh.... i guess THOSE would be the ferrari of batteries.... The M6 is pretty damn good, but not as good as the ferrari

Its tip positive... Not sure on the size, it's a bit unusual just because it's got the little center pin within the center pin. Ratshack's adaptaplug D looks close, but certainly can't say for sure. The BG 10-14-88 comes with the needed tip if you go that route.
