Members AngryGoldfish Posted November 29, 2012 Members Share Posted November 29, 2012 It sounds like they're doing it to make sure each distributor is given priority in that specific country. So if you live in Belgium, they want you to shop in Belgium, not Australia or Japan or wherever else. I kind of understand it, but it's a compromise and a huge sacrifice for those who regularly travel abroad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These issues are a tradeoff between output power, noise, size, heat, etc. We chose a fixed input voltage so we could optimize everything else. You can run our power supplies continuously at their maximum rated output, something that a number of others will not do without overheating, if at all. Most artists find a need for a step-down transformer anyway. They are inexpensive and allow you to run everything from a diff line voltage. The majority of complaints come from Australia. This has nothing to do with a need to switch voltage. Prices for Voodoo Lab and every other brand are high in Australia, so some people want to buy gray market from the U.S. I'm sorry about that, but we have very little control over international selling price. The vast majority of artists use VL supplies, so is this really a big problem?

When can we expect the MONDO release in Europe? It looks perfect for my needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would it be possible to order a Euro-voltage MONDO from you direct so I would have it ready for Best of the Boards here on HCFX before the competition closes on the 10th?
