What to Do When Bringing US Equipment Abroad (Voltage)

@Julien > When using electronic products in an area that differs in voltage to what they are rated, you will need a step down transformer that goes from 220v to 110v.

i have expereince with this.

step down transformer is definitly the right thing to do. Now a VERY important thing to look at is W ammount.

some step down transformers have different W (watts) limititaion, some have 500 all the way to 10000 w

the accumulated amount of power being used has is accumulative to the W,

so if all the things i plug in are a total of 550 w, but my step down is only 500, your first problem will be the transformer over working, and over compensating the extra 50 w, and eventually, it will burn out and the transformer will fail,

not sure the amoutn of damage that does to gear, my power strip saved my gear when i didnt know about the W of my transformer was so low, so always nice to get a nice big transformer with a big W level.

just like a cpu, why work the computer to 100 percent capacity, when you can have it run at 10 percent and let it lift lighter weights?

IF my info is incorrect please let me know, i would hate to be misguiding our fellow forum mate.  

Thank you! So after I saw your answers I went on that website selling voltage converters: http://www.voltageconverters.com/voltage_converters.html

But now I am confused about which one I should buy... The models displayed have different watt capacity... When I read the power consumption of the CDJ-2000 Nexus and DJM-2000, I remember they were all under 50W, so in this case, should I get 3 (one for the first CDJ-2000 Nexus, another for the second CDJ-2000 Nexus, and the last one for the DJM-2000) step-down voltage transformers of 100 Watt?

I would just get one voltage converter that has the TOTAL Watts for all your gear. Plug all your gear into a surge protector. Then plug the surge protector into the voltage converter. And then into the Power outlet.

That sounds like a great idea actually! Are you sure you can do that?

But so, after looking once again at the specifications for the CDJ-2000 Nexus and the DJM-2000, I saw that 42W is the power consumption of the DJM-2000 whereas 37W is the one for the CDJ-2000 Nexus.

Thus, all together the setup would use about 112W (37+37+42), right?

So do you agree that I should buy a voltage converter that can handle at least 200W, like this one for instance? http://www.voltageconverters.com/itemdesc.asp?ic=VC200W

I would say that should be fine

Alright then, thank you so much for your advice!

I have a problem. I just bought my new DJM-T1 from US, but I'm now currently in Singapore the local AC supply is 230v.

So I bought a voltage step down convertor 220v to 110v with 60Watt. My DJM-T1 mixer was working fine for around 30mins, until the Voltage convertor overheated and automatically turn off due to overheat. My mixer wasn't damage but the transformer was overheat and it cool down, working as per normal. Just keep turning off whenever its overheated. So irritated, and can't think of a possible solution why as my convertor's watt is more than the requirement.  

But I did research for the DJM-T1, as its require 120v& 23watt.

*Can anyone help me? Thanks. *

Always use a transformer that steps in the appropriate direction with a wattage supply AT LEAST 20% higher than the maximum draw of the equipment you plan on using with it.
