In Reply to: Advice needed...Logistics of hauling a 120V high end USA system to Aussie land... posted by joeljoel1947 on June 16, 2014 at 18:40:16:
I've been in your shoes a few times myself, though with a lot less of equipment. Been back and forth between US and Europe with my stuff.
I never had any issues with the 50/60 Hz.
Some equipment have a 110/220 Volt switch in the back.
Most of my equipment could be internally switched from 110 to 220, even there was nothing mentioned on the outside.
Best way is to look under the hood and see how many wired go IN to the power transformer 2 or 4, OR 3 or 5. If you have 4 or 5 wires you usually have a transformer with a DUAL primary winding. For 110 they run in parallel and for 220 they run in series. If you don't know what I am talking about, ask someone a technician or DIYer.
Sometimes there are even small bridges in front of the power transformer letting you choose the voltage.
Do not buy one of those $ 5 'converter' because all they convert is the plug, NOT the power/voltage.
