I might be taking a job which would require re-location from the US to the
UK. A fair bit of my recording and production equipment can take 110-220
input voltage, but a number of key pieces cannot. Adapting the plug from the
3-prong US to UK is not a big deal since you can buy in-line adapters for
that, but how best to convert power for those devices in my studio? A whole
house
transformer to step down the voltage would be overkill (and maybe illegal?)
and individual power converters per piece would be tedious to hook up and
maintain for a dozen or so pieces of gear that were 110-only...I tried
looking online for a small unit, like
maybe a rack-mounted 1U or 2U device like a standard rack-mounted 1U power
supply that might do something like this, maybe that could take the 220
input but allow you to toggle the output as 110 or 220 on the output plugs,
but didn't see anything like that. I'd be really grateful if anyone has some
advice on how best to tackle this?
