Hi guys,

I purchased a Crown XLS802D from the U.S. and i live in Australia. The crown amplifier I purchased runs off 120VAC 60Hz and in Australia our power outlets supply 240VAC 50Hz.
I noticed that the specs say "AC Line Voltage and Frequency Configurations Available (± 10%)"
then it has:
120VAC 60Hz
100VAC 50/60 Hz
220 VAC 50Hz
230-240 VAC 50 Hz

Does anyone know how to do this configuration?
or perhaps any suggestions?

Thanks.

Juan

There's a XLS Series manual here: http://www.crownaudio.com/pdf/legacy/133465old.pdf
but it doesn't include the 802. Only up to 602.
If you d/l it and check Fig 4.2 that might give you a clue, IF you have the same Power fitting.
Can't hurt to check it out.
I have a feeling that the voltage selector is hidden under that rectangular cover just below the socket.

Thank you for ur reply,
I checked it out and unfortunately the XLS 802 is different and does not have that rectangular cover thing below where the 602 does, instead there is a circuit breaker button below the IEC on the 802.
I'm quite sure you would be correct tho if it were XLS 602. I think my chances are starting to run slim, I can't find any info on it. I'm thinking maybe the circuit breaker replaces the selector
on the 802 and perhaps there is no selector. Hmm, I hope I didn't just blow my money away. I'll keep searching for info, otherwise I'll have to start thinking what else I can do.
but thank you again.

Unfortunately, we don't have an approved procedure for converting this amp to another voltage.

The only way to change the voltage will be to replace the power transformer.  Last I knew the Crown parts department was stocking some of the higher input voltage ones.  If you get a new transformer just put in the new one exactly like the old one.  Hold on to the old one because there is a real good chance that there are next to none of those left in the world.  http://www.crownaudio.com/forums/style_ima...icons/icon1.gif

Jeez, that's bad news then.....  
If you find yourself in a hole, I've got a Macro Tech MA2401 (Export model set for 240V) in Melbourne I'm thinking about letting go.
I was going to use it at home, but it's just overkill.
