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 was just surfing the US bay, Beosound 3000 USD 1000.00 to 1500.00 buy now prices.

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

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..

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.
