Title: BeePre with 240V
Post by: naphta on October 07, 2019, 10:46:13 AM

I finished a S.E.X. a few months ago and am thinking about a BeePre to be my next project. But as I am in Europe I have 240V power.

I am confused: On the product page of the BeePre it says "This product is only available for 120V operation"

But here on the forum a lot of people seem to have the BeePre running with 220-240 volt. What am I missing?

Greetings from Vienna

You can always get a transformer for your line voltage. That way you can build the BeePre stock.

It was available for 240V, guess the BH guys will advise.

Yes, at this time the BeePre is only available with a 120V transformer. A 240-120V step down transformer is the way to adapt it to higher mains voltages.

Yes, at this time...

So does this mean that a 240v-version will be available again at some point in the future? I am not in a hurry and can wait some months with my order. I would prefere a clean setup.
