I am suspicious of your meter's calibration because both your input readings and output readings are off by the same amount, 6 volts.
You write the input reads 224 on your meter when the P3 reads 230.
You then write the output reads 220 on your meter when the P3 reads 226.
I would have to recommend you double check your meter first…

Well, how can it have to do with the meter?
When I switch on the P3, the display states 228 or higher. Don't you think this is way too high for the voltage of my building which is supposed to be 220 Volts?
You were right about the Multiwave, when it is on, the meter reads 224 Volts output, when it is off the meter reads 220 Volts. But the display is fixed on 226 V and does not change with MW on or off.
But Multiwave is not the issue, the issue is the display of the P3 that is off with 6 Volts on both input and output. How can my meter have something to do with that?

Well it's just a guess because it's consistently 6 volts off so it's either your meter or our meter that's most likely off by that fixed amount. I don't have any idea what the building should be doing. I would trust our metering system but if you're convinced it's off and your meter's correct, email me directly and I'll send you instructions how to recalibrate the meter in the P3.
Hi Paul,
Good for you to be suspicious of my meter. I talked with Wuti from Audio Excellence about this issue and he says that the AC in Thailand fluctuates between 220 and 236V depending on area and time. I took my V meter to his shop and measured the output coming from the wall outlet. It showed a Voltage of 216, much too low. The P10 used in one of the shop's audio systems showed an input Voltage of 222V. So, again 6V difference. This time I trust the P10's reading. My apology for thinking otherwise, but this was based on expecting 220 V for Thailand.
I was adivsed to start with the P3 output voltage at 228 and go up from there to listen for the best sonic results. I think I will put it on 230 V.
Still, I would be interested to learn more about on how to recalibrate the P3. I'll email you personally.
Thanks for your input!
August
