Ryno1234 Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 What is the difference between the EU and US model of this (or any other model for that matter). I sold a MZ-RH1 on ebay that was the EU model (that I used without a problem here in the US) and my buyer is frustrated that its an EU model (I had not specified the model's region during sale, but none the less..). I realize that the power adapter is different, however adapter converters can be purchased to solve this problem and I'm willing to compensate the buyer for the cost of an adapter. I'd prefer not to go through the process of the buyer returning this however if there are other differences I need to be aware of these so I'm not misrepresenting the product. Thank you!

sfbp Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 The adapter is identical. It's just the flex that goes from the adapter to the wall... these are in common with a whole bumch of devices so really a new power adapter is not needed. The other issue is the volume cap should be removed. This requires going to service mode, and is a pain on new units, next to impossible on used ones because the jog lever "gets tired" (and jittery).

Ryno1234 Posted March 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 Thank you for your feedback! To clarify, when I'm talking about an adapater, I'm referring to literally the prongs on the AC adapter that plug into the wall. Because the US and Europe use different wall plates and have different power delivery specifications, and converter needs to be used to use the European AC adapter in a US electrical outlet.

sfbp Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 The connection from the wall to the RH1 is in THREE pieces: 1. The USB to USB-mini cable 2. The cuboid (rectangluar prism) adapter 3. The AC cable from #2 to the wall. Only #3 differs. The cable that plugs into the AC end of the adapter is very very standard, I have at least 6 of them on other devices. And have a spare ones lying around (except that most of my stuff is in storage at this precise moment). Just to ram it home, on the front of the adapter it says "100-240V AC, 50/60 Hz".

soprano_1 Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 Just to ram it home, on the front of the adapter it says "100-240V AC, 50/60 Hz". Absolutely agree with the entirety of information in the quoted post from the administrator: my adapter is also multi-voltage, so all your customer requires is the proper "prong" converter. Please be aware that the EU and UK plugs require different prongs... The adapter does not require a voltage converter, but simply a "prong" adapter...

Rubber131186 Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 late reply but only just joined. One big difference is output to the headphonses on the European model its 4.5mW + 4.5mW on the American model its 5mW + 5mW but in test mode / service mode you can change the region from Euro to US and get the output boosted to the full 5mW.
