Roland PSD-230E Official AC Power Adapter (UK/UAE Plug)
Keep your premium Roland hardware running smoothly with the official Roland PSD-230E power adapter. Engineered specifically for demanding performance environments, this high-quality switching power supply provides clean, regulated, and noise-free power to your sensitive musical gear. Whether you are performing live under the lights in Dubai or tracking experimental rhythms in an Abu Dhabi studio, using the authentic factory-recommended power source protects your equipment from unexpected voltage spikes and eliminates problematic audio artifacts.
Engineered to Minimize Studio and Stage Hum
Cheap, generic replacement power supplies frequently introduce annoying ground loop hums, high-frequency buzzing, or underlying digital hiss into your signal chain. Roland explicitly designs the PSD-230E with superior internal filtering and advanced shielding to deliver an incredibly quiet, studio-grade electrical current. This clean power path ensures that your synthesizers, effects modules, and rhythm machines maintain their exceptional signal-to-noise ratio, keeping your mix tight, pristine, and perfectly defined.
Universal Voltage Compatibility for International Performance
The Roland PSD-230E is built to adapt to your touring schedule. Operating on a flexible universal input range from 100V to 240V, it can safely run on standard power grids throughout Europe, North America, Asia, and the Middle East. Featuring the standard 3-pin plug design utilized throughout the UAE, this adapter slots directly into your local studio wall or stage power strip right out of the box, offering a secure mechanical connection that resists accidental tugs or disconnects.
Dedicated Power Source for Roland AIRA and Multi-Effects Gear
This power adapter is the exact factory-designated companion for a vast collection of Roland’s cutting-edge performance tools. It delivers a specialized 5.7V DC output with a high 2,000 mA capacity, providing the steady headroom needed for high-draw digital signal processors. It is the mandatory, worry-free power solution for keeping legendary production units like the AIRA series, standard desktop micro-amps, and digital percussion interfaces running at full peak performance.

Common Customer Questions Answered
Which Roland products are explicitly compatible with the PSD-230E?
The PSD-230E is the official power supply for premium Roland hardware that requires a 5.7V environment. This includes the entire original Roland AIRA lineup—such as the TR-8 Rhythm Performer, TB-3 Touch Bassline, VT-3 Voice Transformer, System-1 Synthesizer, and MX-1 Mix Performer. It is also the factory-designated power block for the popular Roland Micro Cube GX portable amplifier and the TM-2 Digital Trigger Module.
Can I use this adapter on a standard 9V guitar effects pedal?
No, you should not. The Roland PSD-230E outputs 5.7 Volts, which is lower than the 9 Volt standard used by standard BOSS compact pedals or generic guitar effect pedalboards. Always check the exact voltage label on the back of your instrument; using an incorrect voltage rating can result in gear malfunctioning or cause permanent internal component failure.
Is this an authentic Roland-manufactured accessory?
Yes, this is a genuine, factory-approved Roland brand power accessory. While third-party options exist, utilizing an official Roland adapter ensures full compliance with your instrument's product warranty guidelines, guarantees absolute technical spec alignment, and provides the highest level of shielding against performance-ruining noise.
