Hi- I designed the power supply in the echoplex, so I guess I can answer the question.... yes, it will work fine on 230V 50hz. There is a switch on the back to change between 115V and 230V. Just make sure you switch it to the correct setting. It's a linear supply with a dual primary on the transformer, so the switch just configures it to step the voltage down appropriately. 50/60 hz will not make a difference. No noisy switcher supplies here! Also, the supply is designed to be very tolerant of voltage variations, so if the voltage sags or whatever, you shouldn't have a problem. In the 115V setting, it will operate down to a mains voltage of about 88V! That also means it will work fine in Japan, where the voltage is 100V if I recall right. hope this answers your question. kim >before I expend anymore time/trouble trying to get my hands on >an echoplex, can someone answer the simple but vital question of >whether or not the thing will operate on European mains voltage >(230V 50Hz). >If no-one has direct experience of this could you just tell me >whether the power supply is transformer based or switching. >I've seen some fine examples of what happens to 220V 60Hz >equipment, with a switching powersupply, when you plug it into >a 50Hz mains.
