Is it possible to power this theremin with a USB to DC Power cable?

I'm sorry, but the answer is 'no'. USB is a 5 volt system whereas the B3 Deluxe Theremin requires a minimum of 12 volts to play properly.

Hi Scott yes you can. you may need to use the built in phono pre=amp to do it, but it should work, try it with the usb first

With the USB cable that is included. You can either plug it into your computer or a wall outlet converter (http://www.amazon.com/Wall-Outlet-Converter-Power-Buddy/dp/B00C7GH8UK).

Hi Daniel:Mine got broken on first attempt to use it. It looks pretty neat, that's it. As far as I remember it, no, it does not have other way to power it. I think that the only way would be using somehow a 12v battery, or transforming 120v AC to 12v DC.

I don't see why not but this might be overkill for that. As for the connection, I believe the site where this is listed contains several plans depending on what you are trying to do. You can run this from a 9 volt battery so power should not be a problem.

No, you Can not!!!You need to plug in some equipment that transforms the energy to 110volts

Possibly....You just have to plug the USB plug into a power supply....like a laptop or a phone charger.

Yes you would use a usb cable for the initial setup and after that all you would need is the power cable.

Yes, you can use either the adapter or the USB cord to get power.I use it to conserve USB ports.

Not possible. Lamp is provided with its own power supply. I don't think the output voltage of the power supply is the same as USB.

there is no way to control the volume on the theremin. Two suggestions....buy a proffessional theremin, about a thousand dollars, or buy a 20 dollar volume pedal and put that between your theremin and your amp and control the volume with your foot, like a pedal steel guitarist. That might work. Usually with this cheap theremin you just use it for novelty.

No, it won't even power the hard drive, I tried it and didn't work, probably using the current adapter may work.

The handheld tape runs off the USB. Does not seem to me that it's worth running it off a DC power adapter. As long as the computer provides the power, it should work as stated. And no, I don't sell a power adapter.

I suspect that you could plug one of the USB cable into an external power source. The question is, "which one"! I would suggest trying the plug on the end to your computer first, then the 2nd plug, (the one with the short lead), to the power source. However, if this does not work, then swap the 2..... One of the plugs is for power only, (no data line in that one)..... However, when all else fails, add a cheap, 2 or 4 port "active" hub to your computer, then plug a couple of your other USB devices to the HUB.... This can cost less than $20.00 This wireless adapter works so well, adding a small hub still makes this adapter the ONLY way to go wireless!

There is a miniUSB to dual USB cord that comes with it, which uses the power from the PC. It's a little longer than I'd like it to be, so I suppose you can substitute a shorter one. Not sure what the dual USB end would be for...

I have powered a small usb drive. I think the key is that you might have to use a drive that is only usb powered, but I don't know entirely for sure. You could always get the cable and try it.

Apparently it is powered exclusively from the USB port itself, not too certain on wattage however. There is a s/pdif out and in, and a 3.5mm line in (I use a red/white composite cable converter to play any console games). I believe the software that runs it is strictly PC, but I have no certainty that it will function in this manner.
