Adaptor use

Hi there, hope this is the right place for this. I ordered a keyboard from Thomann.de and it arrived today, but instead of the detachable 3-pin plug they said they would send, they sent the 2-pin version.

Hi there, hope this is the right place for this.

I ordered a keyboard from Thomann.de and it arrived today, but instead of the detachable 3-pin plug they said they would send, they sent the 2-pin version. I'm contacting them and will sort that out soon enough.

In the mean time, I am wondering if I can use the adaptor that is on the current keyboard. I've highlighted the difference below.

The current one is:

Input: 100-240V - 50/60Hz, 0.8A.
Output: 12.0V = 2.0A

The one that came with the new keyboard is:
Input:100-240V - 50/60Hz, 0.5A
Output:12.0V - 1.5A 18.0W

If this question is better off asked in the Electronics forum, let me know and I'll do that.

Thanks

I answered your question in the other thread for you!
Short answer is you'll be absolutely fine as long as the polarity matches!
