Actually, Mark.. if you live in Deutschland.. you MAY have TWO bads..
1. Which you corrected.. 50 vs 60 hz
2. The German standard, as I remember, is 230v.. not 240.. but, I could be wrong here. I believe UK is 240@50hz
NB.. NB.. NB
Also, for others reading this.. if you have one of the CS's with a DIGITAL control and live in Europe with 50hz.. I'd NOT use a simple transformer as my first comments.. the 50hz could damage the sensitive electronics.
