Some advice please

Lovephones

Hi , I am currently in the U.S on holidays and I have come across this in Walmart for $89 ,http://www.amazon.co.uk/Xtrememac-IPU-TRX-13-XtremeMac-Tango-Audiosystem/dp/B003Y3TWU4/ref=sr_1_36?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1339959774&sr=1-36 however I am not sure if I buy it it will work back home as we use a higher voltage than the 110 in the U.S ,
Does anyone know if it will work or would i be wasting my money , any advice greatly appreciated
Thanks

Should be fine. I've brought back ipod docks from the US before.

you need to check if the input voltage reads 110~220 or 240
If not you'll need a step down transformer and it wouldn't be worth it.
Have a look at the Bose docks over there which are a fair bit cheaper than at home and are all 110~240

That device comes with an AC adapter (which should look like a mobile phone charger), what is fed into the device is DC so what you need to do is ask the store if there is an 'international' version which comes with a multi-voltage adapter.

It's possible that the standard AC adapter supports 100-240V and 50/60 Hz in which case it's safe to buy it. You'll probably have to use an adapter when you get home as I suspect the AC/DC converter and plug are in the same block of plastic. The main thing is that you won't have to use a transformer, these are bulky and expensive and just not worth it.
