Members REMUS Posted October 31, 2007 Members Share Posted October 31, 2007 I want to import either a GB750 or 400 from the USA and I was wondering if I could convert them to UK power, does anyone know if there is a UK endorsed GB tech? Emailed GB but no response =/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members REMUS Posted October 31, 2007 Author Members Share Posted October 31, 2007 just pm'ed him, and poltergeist i've already explored that possibility and no it isn't a viable option with sensitive equipement like an audio amp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members rpsands Posted November 1, 2007 Members Share Posted November 1, 2007 Maybe you could import from Australia. I know the GB amps that sell in Aussieland are pre-converted for Australian power. I'm not really sure if that's the same as you guys use though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The GB amps have a selectable power switch on them to go between 115/230v...so he all set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That shouldn't be a problem. We have 240 V here, while most appliances are rated for 220/230 V. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, I would assume that it's much easier and cheaper to import something from the US as opposed to importing from Australia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyways, wouldn't it be possible to order a 240V version via an american dealer? I suppose you can't order direct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members agedhorse Posted November 1, 2007 Members Share Posted November 1, 2007 Australia/New Zealand has other issues that require a seperately rated power supply. It's not uncommon to see a high line condition of as much as 275 volts in both countries, not common at all in the UK. All products are 115/230 volt rated and will work fine on nominal 240 volt conditions where the high line does not exceed 265 volts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
