What do I need to do to get my US Nord 5 to work in Italy?
Hi everyone, I’m currently getting ready to go on tour in Italy on Monday and wanted to know what I need to do to get my Nord Electro 5 to work in Italy. My board is a US Nord, and I’m curerently in the UK having trouble getting it to work with just a converter. Please let me know if you might have an experience like this, or if you know how to get it to work! Thank you!

If you don't want to use the voltage converter, then you need to open the keyboard, change the voltage selector position + change the fuse, as explained in various posts such as this one nord-lead-rack-forum-f12/nord-lead-4r-power-supply-can-you-use-it-anywhere-t10203.html (applies to your NE5 too)
Otherwise you can rent one EU model and load your programs into it.

Sorry, I realized that I used the wrong description of what I was using. It wasn’t a converter but an adapter that I used on the cable, which didn’t work. I understand now that I need to get a converter, will the 220V - 110V do for the Nord 5?

And would that converter work both in the UK and EU?

Yes, plugs are different but voltage is compatible.
The problem is that if you used just and adapter on your US Nord Electro 5 and so you applied 220V instead of 110V you have probably burnt its fuse...(at least...)

Gotcha. I bought a US fuse, and will try again with a converter.

Sorry about all the questions lol for just replacing a fuse, I don’t need to open the whole board up do I?
