Re: Using your USA gear in Europe (voltage adapter concerns)

If the power supply on your Behringer says what you're saying, then it sounds like an autoswitching supply, and you should be able to use just a plug addaptor.  And yes, the Mackie just needs to be set correctly and also have an adaptor.

Long time no post!  But here I am :-) I have a gig in Vienna and I don't want to blow up my gear. I am wondering if anyone has experience using their hardware audio gear in countries with different voltage circuits. In particular,

I have a Mac laptop purchased in the USA, I know it works with a European power supply, all I have to do is put on an adapter and it works.

But, I also have a Behringer B-Control Rotary BCR2000 midi controller. I thought it was USB powered only but it needs to also use a power supply. Its says: 100 - 240 V~ 50/60 Hz 15 W...

Can I just throw an adapter tip on that when I get to Vienna (or do I need some type of transformer?)

also I have a Mackie 1202-VLZ3 mixer, it has a switch in the back to go from 100VAC or 120 VAC or 240 VAC, I am assuming that all I have to do is adjust the switch to 240 and put an adapter tip on ?

BUT I AM SCARED! So, if anyone knows about this stuff, I would really appreciate the help!

Thanks So Much!
