Hi Bartsman, Sorry for the delayed reply, hopefully it can still help. I have been running the Energy Take Classic 5.1 subwoofer with an external 220 V / 110 V transformer, without altering the frequency. There has been no problem so far, although there's always a chance of increased wear and...

there is no guarantee that the frequency difference won't damage the subwoofer's transformer. it depends on the transformer design; therefore, without knowing about the specific design, or without having tried it as the OP already might have, one cannot confidently determine that "50/60 Hz isn't...

please read previous posts more carefully. the frequency difference may cause the subwoofer transformer to overheat and fail, or it may not. taking apart the subwoofer is not an option, nor is frying it as an experiment, nor does the manufacturer know. the question is very simple: can this...

again, voltage is not the issue. an external transformer will easily rectify the voltage problem.

Thanks for your responses. The subwoofer is rated for 110V / 60 Hz only. Whether or not the subwoofer's transformer will overheat and fail at 50 Hz depends on its design, but the manufacturer won't provide further information (or offer any solutions) and taking it apart is not an option. Of...

Hi Dave, I have exactly the same problem. May I ask if you found a solution? Will the Energy subwoofer tolerate 50 Hz? Your input would be much appreciated.
