MacBook and MBox2 Pro voltage

papawhitehead · 20th October 2008

I will be taking my portable recording setup to Europe next Spring. It consists of a MacBook and an Mbox2 Pro. I noticed that the MBox2 Pro comes with a set of "world" adapters for the AC adapter, and that Apple sells "world" adapters for the MacBook. I know the "world" adapters do not convert the voltage, but are the Mac and Digi AC adapters able to accept 220 voltage, or do I need to buy a voltage converter as well? Thanks

I cant comment on the Digi unit but the mac supply is international voltage.

No worries "Papa" I have successfully used the Macbook in the US, India and recently in Europe as well. You will NOT need a voltage converter. Also, most hotels provide AC receptacles these days that will accept the standard Amercian Plug but it is better to carry an adapter from the US for European sockets because they tend to be hugely overpriced over there.

Good luck,

PS: Don't know about the Mbox.

The power brick for the MBox should have a label that will tell you if it is a universal switching power supply. It may not use those words, but might say "input voltage 100-240V 50/60 Hz" or something to that effect.
