| I think it depends where you are coming from. If from the US, then you will need an adapter (different voltage). |

CHECK the line adapter on your electronics.
IF it reads 110-240v for inputs then you are fine and you will just need a plug adapter (cost about $1).
If the adapter reads 110-125v only then you need a voltage converter / step down transformer BEFORE you plug them in. Cost is about $20-35 for a good sized one and $10-20 for a smallish one.
Line voltages here are DOUBLE what they are in North America and you will burnout (within seconds) any device not rated for 240v. |
