Etherwave Pro Nolonger Available At Moog Music

What are the main differences between the Etherwave Standard and the Etherwave Pro, anyway? I can't find much detail on that...

If the only difference is a nice looking case and one or two more options, I'm just going to upgrade to the Etherwave Standard. I probably won't have much choice in the matter either way, unless Moog suddenly decides to make more super high quality theremins by the time I get a job in my field.

Hello, new member here. My Moog Etherwave Pro blew up! Hardly a year old, the power supply blew up with a flash of light and a bang and blew the fuses in my studio! Now our local Moog agent (in Australia) says they can no longer obtain parts! What to do?

Contact Moog USA, or all the helpful souls in this forum will work together to help you in another way.

Perhaps we can find the needed specifications of this power supply (I don't know if it's identical to this of the Etherwave standard), so that you may find something in your local electronic accessories store.

Thank you so much for your prompt reply! I will email the specs when I am in my studio tomorrow .. Australia has 240 volt power so the 220 V one would be what they used in the etherwave pro ... thanks again and I will email tomorrow (its 9 pm here in Sydney)

The power supply in the Etherwave Pro is universal. It is designed to be used with any AC current source from 100 VAC to 240 VAC, 50Hz to 60 Hz.

I don't know what that involves off hand. I'm sure it's a bit more complicated that a standard power supply.

The E-Pro power supply is enclosed in a shielding enclosure, so it is not readily accessible.

Now that I've had time to re-read your descriptions in more detail, it sounds to me like you may have developed a dead short somewhere in the high voltage (110V-240V) section of the power supply.

That's just a guess, so you will need to have a "qualified technician" take a look at it.
The big question is....how many other components may have been damaged from the surge?

You are the first person I've heard of to have this kind of problem with their E-Pro. It makes me wonder if the rest of us might be susceptable to the same problem. You have my sympathy. (For what that's worth.)

Have your studio looked over by an electrician too - I almost had a fried Theremin when we discovered there was some kind of hideous power monster (I'm not an electrician but as I understand it it's mostly demon-based) living in one of the plugs. My Etherwave Standard still has a slightly fried output socket, although miraculously, it works. The same cannot be said for the guy's mixer.

So it may not necessarily have been a problem with your E'Pro.
