Orthos Spectrum AR-2000 Power Requirements


Hello,

i recently picked up an Ortho Spectrum AR-2000 that’s on its way from Japan.

Does anyone know if I can just plug this unit in or do I need a step-down voltage converter for it?

If I need a converter could anyone suggest one?

Thanks,
brett

I have purchased a step down converter that seems well reviewed for audio purposes from Amazon. I hope it does the trick.

Please let me know what you think.
