Another "top post" - it was not an "opinion", the "unit in question" was
made in the UK where ALL Focusrite Saffires are made. It's only the power
supply that is a yank version, so silas just has to get rid of the yank
power supply and replace it with the proper one for the country of use.


And don't be such a pompous bore, Richard.

Of course it will work in Australia (with the appropriate 220-240volt
supply). The thing is made in England where the power supply is the
same
as Oz, it's only the US that is different!


Please read more carefully before posting such opinions.
Note that the unit in question is a North American version
with a 120V power supply. The planet does not revolve
around 240V territories (or 120V, either.)


Additional points off for top-posting.

Just wondering about power supply to the Focusrite Saffire if it will
work in Australia i think it comes with a 12v AC, 1.5A external PSU
(Power Supply Unit) but is that from 110/120 dc to 12v AC... and if
so
could i replace it with a 220/240 down to 12 AC PSU?


Any help would be great thanks!


The best way to test for power fluctuation is to run a jumper cable
from an 8 cylinder car battery, snap it on to your nutsack and red
line the engine. In Australia this is known as the rite of manhood.
(or womanhood if your nuts all off).


I hate to tell you, but 12 to 14 volts ain't gonna do much for your nuts.
Of course you could run a lead from the secondary ignition (spark pluts) and
really light your fire.

However insane the idea sounds to us, guys in Australia do enjoy
getting their nuts roasted.
