Hi,
I've just bought some DJ Decks (2x Vestax CDX 05) from the US (equipped with US power adapters) and am now wondering how best to use them in the UK. They cost me £400 so I want to make sure they are well protected. The power adapters for the decks have the following details on them:
Input: 120V~, 60Hz 35W
Output: 8V, 2000mA
I currently know of 3 possible options:
1) Buy two UK adapters from the manufacturer (cost = £50)
2) Buy two cheap step down transformers (cost = £10)
3) Buy two more expensive step down transformers with thermal fuses (cost= £40)
Basically I guess the question i'm asking is whether or not my decks will have adequate protection (coming from the us power adapter itself) if I bought the two cheap step down transformers and they ended up developing a fault.
I'm sorry if this doesn't make much sense but i'm not too electronically minded! If you need any more information, please ask.
