should I take care of using an Aurora 16 120V with an voltage converter to 220V here in Europe? Is there any sonical or other issues to beware?

Hi,

Everything should work fine - just make sure the electrical converting device can provide 110V , 60Hz current for the Aurora and also that it has at least 75W power output (preferably 100W) I have an american version that i use in Poland and everything works smooth.

If You dont want any current converting device You can switch the unit to European version internally- but You have to be a really skilled electrician to do it. Friend of mine didi it - he says You only need to resolder one of the wires inside and that should do.

Good luck

I asked on the Lynx forums and was told the same - just use a converter that'll output 100w or more.

which is a f$cking drag when you're a traveling engineer/producer. Extra transformers are bulky and heavy. I can't stop bitching about "professional audio" companies not offering universal power supplies - a personal peeve of mine.

I've internally modified 95% of my gear to be "universal". It's usually a simple procedure. The Aurora 16 is next up on the bench - haven't even inspected the transformer yet...
