    does the hz rating matter?

    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!!).

    Regards

      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.

        Hello All,

        Call me a stick in the mud here but does anyone think that the rating of a PG13 was just a little low for Meet the Fockers? My wife bought the movie and we watched it the other night with my 14 year old daughter, I was amazed at the sexual content and the amount of it for...

        Why do speakers have a max watt rating
        by bleeding ears
        Whilst pondering which amplifier and which output wattage would best suit my speakers, I became a little confused about the whole amp/speaker wattage compatibility issue.

        Eg , if speakers can handle wattages well above the manufacturers specified maximum rating, why do they specify...

        VA Rating of Trans. in RA-971 MkII
        by Pwoida
        Does anyone know the VA rating of the toroid used in the RA-971 MKII power amp?

        I've had a look inside and each secondary is 32Vrms and there are two 6.3A fuses. I would have thought this meant it would be rated at about 32*(2 secondaries)*6.3*(2 fuses)=806VA but it is too small for this....
