Any electricians here?
4 years ago
Long story short, I bought a used audio mixer and it didn't come with a power cable. Big shocker. Anyways, it came from a seller here in the US, but when I got it I was giving it the once over and noticed that the usual "This device complies with the whatever standards" that most electronics in the US has, it has that warning for Canada.
There is a sticker below the power plug that says 120 V ~ 60 HZ 32 W, Fuse: T 1.0 A H 250 V.
I did some cursory searching and found out that the US and Canada both run on 120 V, and some searching on other listings for this particular mixer shows the same power information and the same warning for Canada as opposed to the US. I guess my question is, would any power cord that fits that weird shape work for it? I only ask because when I had to buy an extension cord for my air conditioner, I had to buy a special one that could handle the higher power demands of the air conditioner. If this mixer WAS intended for the Canadian market (despite being sold in California) are there any risks to just plugging it in?

It will work with no issue. The US, Canada and Mexico all run on 120V. Now depending on the manufacturer and plug form factor you may need a grounded (three prong) plug. Care to share a pic?
