The moment you feed AC mains into a box, EU regulation EN 60950 of Directive 2006/95/EC, or Low Voltage Directive For Information Equipment takes force. It deals with safety in electronic information devices powered from AC mains. This regulation is considered to cover music electronics, analog or digital, simply because there is no direct regulation for music gear. Ssales figures are not sufficient to regulate and music gear is considered professional equipment. If it had been considered a domestic appliance, a synthesizer would be regulated under the more stringent EN60335 instead.
