BeoSound 3000-3200? VOLTAGE???

7 replies

I am located in North America.   But would like to get a Beosound 3000 or 3200 from the UK they are much cheaper and just use a 220V to 120V converter.  Could I just plug the Powerlink cables into my existing Beolab 2500's I have set up with my Overture 4000 from North America using 120 volts? Or is that asking too much???

 

Just wanted to know..

 

 

 

THANKS

Hello,

That would work perfectly - the PowerLink doesn't alter from region to region, so there'll be no compatibility problems at all!

Would you save enough by the time you pay p&p then buy a transformer  ? I would check both first before buying from outside N America.

I think you can modify the BS3000 by changing links on the transformer from 230 to 110VAC.

I already have a transformer.  Sadly the units seem to be quite a bit cheaper on Ebay UK last time I checked but it has been awhile.  I am going to have to look closer at the total price.   The BS3000 and 3200 are a bit nicer then my Overture and I am looking at upgrading in the future.  I might look at the BeoSound 4 if I can find one for a good price.  I just really need what ever system I buy to have masterlink.  I have a few rooms wired up to my system as it stands now.  I do wish I could find out what to change on the transfomer though..

THANKS

Changing the transformer to from 240V (GB), to 120 V. a 3M3 Ohm resistor has to be added, and the fuse(s) changed to 125V type.
