	Rarely you may encounter a device asking for an eccentric power input - some Alesis units, such as the [[Alesis QuadraSynth#Alesis QuadraSynth S4\|Quadrasynth modules]] will use a 4-pin 9 volt AC power input as opposed to a standard DC input, or AC input - 3rd party units will usually output 9V AC, rated to 2 amps. The keyboard versions, notably, use standard 3-pin kettle lead inputs directly from the wall. There's no other way around this really, you need to buy something directly compatible.
