does the hz rating matter?

[edong]

Hi guys! I would like to buy an amp, either RMB 1066 or 1075 here in my country, Philippines. But I found out that the rating of Rotel's products are 50 hz here and Singapore where I was about to buy it. I was advised by the sales person in Singapore not to buy it because he said it will not work here in the Phil because of the 60 hz rating here. I am confused. Could anyone strighten it out for me? Please? :cry:

I am using the US version of the RMB-1075 (125v 60hz) with a voltage converter (2000 Watt), which does not convert the frequency) in Spain, so it is plugged into 220v 60hz.

I checked with Rotel before doing it and they said it would not be a problem, it is working perfectly.

I also have the RSP-1066, but it is the european version so it is plugged into a regular outlet (240v 50hz).

What voltage do you have ?

If you have 125v 60hz in th philippines, you can use the US version of their equipment directly, else just buy a voltage converter.
I bought mine for $100 (it is a 36 pound box though!!).

hank you very much. People from Rotel also wrote me and told me the same thing. I shall now try to find a dealer that would give me something similar to the Singapore price. Maybe go back there and buy it after the atypical phneumonia goes away from there.

Thanks again.
