Title: Power Conversion For Half Stack **HELP**
Post by: MetalDozz on February 20, 2012, 05:40:00 AM

Hi Guys, Just got my Randall RH200SC w/ Randall 4x12 Stereo XL Cabinet.
One problem... It's American made, I'm a British resident.
I know that I need a Step Down Converter but there's so many different Voltages so I don't know where to start.
Maybe even there's another solution which I'm not aware of.
Please help...
Thanks

Easy,,, don't buy equipment designed for another country 8|

You need to find a local tech who is conversant with your problem.

You need a step transformer that can handle the current / power required for safe operation.

How many Watts is the head & cab combined? What's the current output over all?

It claims 100+100W RMS so it "eats" over 300/350W.
I would use a 240 to 120 (or 230/115) autotransformer, rated at 500 V.A. (or Watts) to have a certain margin.
You can also plug some effects or whatever in that extension.
