OT : Australian voltage ?

[fikri]

Hi !

I'm planning to have a gig on melbourne by this end of the month, can somebody help me what type of voltage does australian have ? 120V or 220V ?

thanks !

220V to what I remember

[stm]

It is 240V, 50Hz.

Google is your friend. Type "australia mains voltage" in the google search bar and you'll see.

Have fun in the Land Down Under !

Let us know where you're playing and how it goes.

Who should us Melburnians be keeping an eye out for in the gig guides?

My advice is, get a stepdown transformer from www.jameco.com to convert the OZ 230 to the US 115. Don't forget to bring your 115v stripboard & adaptors, they are unobtainable here.
Hire or borrow a local amp.
You'll also need a mains socket adaptor to plug your Jameco stepdown transformer into the OZ mans socket (travel supply shops have these).
Note: a step down transformer is often called a step up transformer

More advice: Australia customs drug detection dogs are world famous (we export them). No joke.
