Dear macmusicians

I need some advice,

I just bought a presonus firebox from sweetwater and had my mom mail it to me here in the canary islands. I have a voltage converter but i am worried about the HZ difference. The firebox has a frequency of 60 hz, here in spain they use 50 hz frequency. some websites say that only electronic clocks suffer from the difference, and that other appliances adjust themselves to the frequency, this is too unclear.

My question is: has anybody used an audio interface from the states in europe without it blowing up? I have a feeling this is a stupid question, the answer being: don´t try it send the interface back to sweetwater and buy a firebox here in europe.

a quick look at the back of the box reveals that there is an external transformer, (wall wort).

all you need to do is get one thats 220/50 with the same output/plug /polarity as the one that comes with it.

may not be so easy in the canary islands, but maybe you could order one somewhere.
