Running a Dayton Plate in the UK

[Pull9Gs 10+ year member]

Im looking at getting one of these:

Dayton 1000w plate sub amp

But are they specifically 120v? Any ideas if a 240v version is made, any other similar products, or if there is any type of transformer I could use to be able to run it here in England?

Thanks

I don't think there is a 240 volt model that is/was made.

If you email Parts Express they might be able to help you.

Hmm right.

Are there any other similar products? I think the BASH range will be the same...

aren't there amps that are switchable between 120 and 240?

I'd ask around over here:

There are some guys from Europe who might be able to help.

I'm sure there is, but I don't know which ones are and which one's aren't.

The Dayton and Bash ones I think are only 120VAC 60Hz...

Yeah, I just assumed they would be switchable, like other active speakers you see on the market.

Glad I realised before I got one shipped over...

The eD amplifiers are switchable.

These also look switchable, but little more expensive.

Good to know there are some out there then, Ill just have to find some opinions on which one is better.

Im looking to run it with a new SI Mag if they are released soon.

Thanks for the link Tama

IIRC the eD one is either based on the Keiga or is the Keiga with a different name on it.

I agree, looking at the pictures of the two, they look almost identical. And they have speaker input/outputs which I didn't think was available on a 1kW plate //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Ok, this isnt funny:

US Price=$350

UK Price=£350

From the same company! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/verymad.gif.3f39c5c2fd57527b671fad3efdfac756.gif

Anyway, I have a friend going over to the US and am hoping that I can get him to bring me back one. But the US eD site has none instock until 28th April, by which time he will have been and come back.

Does anybody know anywhere else that has these instock? Or 2nd hand...

Thanks

I figured it was something around that...

But, WOW that is a lot of money...
