Bose Ipod Speakers - Quick Question
Does anybody have one?
I have got an American version on its way to me 1/2 UK price
but I need converter
I am going to order one of these
240 volt - 110 volt USA Convertor
But I need to know the load
Is 50av ok or do I need a heavy weight version

Will it work with a 50 cycle supply; because convertors only alter the voltage, they dont change the supply to 60 cycles (which the Americans use)?

I use these: 45W UK to USA Voltage Convertor
(hope the link works! If not - search for "US UK Convertor" and it's the first item in the list)
I've used these with plenty of pieces of equipment from the US with no bother. It definitely does NOT convert the cycles but I wouldn't have thought that would be a problem.
Unfortunately though - they're listed at £15.99 on the site at the moment. I paid £4.99 for each of mine from Maplin only a couple of months ago - in fact, my basket still shows one in there for £4.99 - now if only I can figure out how to place the order 2 months on, and still get it for the same price as when I put it in the basket!

Try looking the at Monitor Audio I Deck instead, was rated very highly against the Bose system, slightly behind but a close second. (depending on reviews of course) and its been knocked down by £100 to only £79 on amazon at the moment.

In my opinion the BOSE docking station is the best bit of equipment you will ever buy to do the said task. BOSE stereo,s are simply outstanding

The Man from Bose in the states said the 50va will work but I am very naughty importing it to the UK
When I told him the saving he wished me a very happy New Year
LOL

:have a wander to Thorpe park, and visit Nemesis inferno,
the floor shaking effects, as you enter the main hall are provide courtesy of Bose Wave cannons.
Dont recall thousands of people complaining about the effects!!

Really Mart? According to Wiki the man himself is the primary stockholder.
Who do you think owns it then and where is your proof?

Schefenacker Website, theyve modded the website now, but it used to identify Bose as one of there company's
Update, it was a partnership agreement, and bose have now bought there stake back with SVS being a tier two supplier as opposed to Tier 1

In other words, I was wrong.
