Hello HiFiVision,
Thank you for having me aboard with the sign up and my first post on here. The problem that brings me here is as under.
PROBLEM IN A GIST:
I GOT A 2.1 MULTIMEDIA SYSTEM FROM USA AND THAT REFUSES TO NOT HEAT UP WITH A VOLTAGE CONVERTER AS IT USES 60HZ WITH 110 WATTS, WHILE WE USE 50HZ WITH 220WATTS. THE VOLTAGE CONVERTER HELPS CONVERT THE WATTS BUT NOT THE HZ. THIS IS CAUSING THE SUBWOOFER TO GET ABNORMABLY HOT AND A SAFETY HAZARD. PLEASE HELP!! THANK YOU...
In detail (pretty much the same as above)
I got Klipsch Promedia 2.1 wireless from the US and have been facing a problem with it getting too heated. Obviously I used a voltage converter to take care of the 110watts need but the voltage converter doesn't take care of its 60Hz need. From the little study I did, it appears that I would have to use a step down converter. (not sure if I got that right, keeping aside the term "step down converter" itself)
Some local technician (if I may call him so) suggested that it'll all be taken care of it I get rewinding done on the transformer. I got that done which eliminated the use of the voltage converter but now the issue is that my system still needs a 60Hz feed and here in India the electricity is providing 220watts and 50Hz.
I went to the Klipsch forum and they suggested a bunch of things and were quite helpful but the local technicians don't know much. In the meantime I've been using the fan to cool off the subwoofer to keep it from getting too hot.
What could I do?
