Power Requirements
Circuit can be powered either from AC mains via the AC adaptor supplied, or from AA batteries.
It cannot be powered from a computer or other device via a USB connection.
Using the AC adaptor
The AC adaptor supplied with the unit is a 12 V DC, 1.5 A type, and can operate on mains
voltages from 100 V to 240 V, 50 or 60 Hz. The adaptor has interchangeable slide-in AC plug
heads; different plug heads are supplied which make the adaptor compatible with AC outlets
in many different countries. Plug heads can be easily swapped if necessary by pressing the
spring-loaded semi-circular button in the centre of the adaptor and sliding the plug head
upwards to separate it from the adaptor body. Then slide in the correct plug head (as shown by
the arrows), ensuring that it locks rmly in place.
The cable from the AC adaptor connects to the coaxial DC input socket on the rear panel of
Circuit (

The use of AC adaptors of a type other than that supplied is not recommended. Please contact
your Novation dealer for advice on alternative PSUs if necessary.
