Hi all,
Sooo.. I purchased a used JBL PA system wasn't, paying attention, as it turns out it's 220v 50hz.

If I used a up/down voltage converter to get the system to power using 110 60hz will I still have issues if the audio source is coming from a 60hz audio source?

Thanks for any help!

The voltage converter "will" work...
but a step-up transformer is much better (120V to 220V).
The voltage converter is not made for audio...and not for continuous usage.

The amp itself may have a 120V tap inside, which can change the voltage over.

The audio source does not matter. Any line level source (like CD player) is fine.
