Eminent Solina String Ensemble coming from Europe

2011-02-08 by desh_59

I just bought an Eminent Solina String Ensemble from Europe.
This gear works on 220V/50Hz and I live in Canada.

Can I use any step up transformer regardless of the 60Hz frequency in Canada? Usually converters and transformers don't convert frequency...
So it means that this gear will run on a faster cycle, isn't? or may be it is converted to DC so it doesn't matter...?

According to the Arp Solina Service manual, there is a way to relocate a wire to appropriate voltage. Can I do the same for an Eminent?
Thanks
Christian
