It does certainly show that aside from North America, the Caribbean and parts of South America, most of the world uses 220-240V. Non users of note Japan pop 127m Canada pop 33m USA pop 301m Mexico pop 108m Saudi Arabai pop 28m Liberia pop 3m Madagascar pop 20m Ecuador pop13m Columbia pop 45m Venezuela pop 26m Guyana pop < 1m Suriname pop < 1m Cuba pop 11m Belize pop < 1m Guatemala pop 13m Honduras pop 7m El Salavador pop 7m Nicaragua pop 6m Costa Rica pop 4m Panama pop 3m Bahamas pop < 1m Haiti pop 9m Dominican Republic 9.5m Puerto Rico pop 4m Source CIA Factbook I didn't fancy checking every little Caribbean island. Approx total pop'n NOT using 220-240V = 781.5m World population = 6720 m. Source wikipedia. That makes 88% of the world using 220-240V Would you also like a figure for countries using IEC standards vs UL / CSA ? Graham

That's a PRODUCTION console. http://www.aspen-media.com/showproduct.asp?id=7 Makes as much sense as using a Neve or SSL for live. Graham

I can probably find out Monday or Tuesday. Graham
