€79.99 from Italy.

But it looks like it has a non EU compliant AC power lead, (looks like a
standard two blade ungrounded US lead.)  But supplied with an adapter.
Not sure about the full legality of that practice these days.

I suspect at the PSU end of the AC lead, it uses a standard two pole
"C8" connector, so you should be able to source, or already have a
suitable lead for your own country.


Note to others in the EU.  It's the /importers/ responsibility to ensure
products sourced from outside the EU, and placed for sale within the EU,
comply with EU regs.


I have no experience of this particular PSU myself.


73 & Take care.

My Pro Audio Engineering power supply has a C8 connector. C8 is
part of a standard for connectors designed specifically to allow
different cords for different country's electrical plug
requirements.  (See: <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEC_60320>
for details.)

Thanks everybody for a usefull info!
The US powerr plug seems working no problems with a normal travel adaptor
on my KX2 battery charger.
Shouldn't be a problem on this PS too.
