Re: Using your USA gear in Europe (voltage adapter concerns)

["Travis Hartnett" <travishartnett@gmail.com>]

If the power supply on your Behringer says what you're saying, then it sounds like an autoswitching supply, and you should be able to use just a plug addaptor.  And yes, the Mackie just needs to be set correctly and also have an adaptor.

Long time no post!  But here I am :-) I have a gig in Vienna and I don't want to blow up my gear. I am wondering if anyone has experience using their hardware audio gear in countries with different voltage circuits. In particular,

I have a Mac laptop purchased in the USA, I know it works with a European power supply, all I have to do is put on an adapter and it works.

But, I also have a Behringer B-Control Rotary BCR2000 midi controller. I thought it was USB powered only but it needs to also use a power supply. Its says: 100 - 240 V~ 50/60 Hz 15 W...

Can I just throw an adapter tip on that when I get to Vienna (or do I need some type of transformer?)

also I have a Mackie 1202-VLZ3 mixer, it has a switch in the back to go from 100VAC or 120 VAC or 240 VAC, I am assuming that all I have to do is adjust the switch to 240 and put an adapter tip on ?

BUT I AM SCARED! So, if anyone knows about this stuff, I would really appreciate the help!

Thanks So Much!

Margaret
