Change Line Voltage KRELL Avangard Inegraded Amplifier

[Cocuroci]

Hi,

I have an Krell Avangard integrated amplifier, that today works with voltage at 120v and I would like to change it to be able to work at 220 / 230v.

I opened the equipment and saw that there are two switches next to the input fuse, SW1 and SW2, and each switch has two positions 1 or 2, SW1 is in position 2 and SW2 is in position 1.

I would like to confirm that if switching from SW2 to position 2 I would be changing the input voltage to 220 / 230v.

Thanks!!!

If you have a multimeter, you can measure the resistance on the plug (not network!) At different switch positions. At 220v, the resistance should be doubled. It is better to turn on for the first time with a 100W incandescent lamp connected in series. After the start, the lamp will flash and burn dimly. This is normal.

Yes, I have a multimeter, I will do that, thanks for the tip.
