Not only that everything on that circuit would then be 240 and everything on that circuit would need to be upgraded and possibly switched to a different circuit for instance if there are any light fixtures. Easiest thing if possible would be to run a seperate 240.
120v to 240v Adapter to power Amp in USA
I ordered an Atoll amp from France only to realize they make it for 240v, even the ones they ship to the US. There is only 1 US distributor and they charge DOUBLE! Is there any risk in purchasing the amp and buying an $8 120v to 240v adapter to run the amp in the US?
Does this mean if somebody gets shocked from it it’s a full 240v?
Some of the adapter plugs on Amazon do not look like actual transformers, so I’m not sure how they work.

Right on the running a new independent circuit with 12-2 for a 240. That’s what I would do. Also, Stereo5 I co reacted Atoll and they said they can be made to order with the 120v, but once they figured out I was from the USA trying to order an amp from France that costs $1000 and have it be made with 120v they wouldn’t do it. They said to go through the only distributor in the US because they don’t want to circumvent him. However, he charges $1900. |
I had already paid and everything and they made the dealer from France refund my money. All amps are made to order and they wouldn’t do it even though I said I would pay extra for the 120v option. Still waiting for the refund to go through. The distributor in the US is super nice and knowledgeable but I don’t think overcharging because you have a monopoly is very cool. These things go for €839 all day long all over Europe. |
What you need is a voltage step up/down transformer/converter https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06VVXN2SR/ref=psdc_10967761_t1_B00FHIF8KC |
