Hello, I have a Mackie 1604 VLZ Pro from 1995. It's 110 volts and I want to change it to 220 volts. Do I need to buy a new transformer? I don't want to us an external step-down transformer. Thanks for any help. James Simpson
The LEAST expensive thing to do is to buy an external stepdown transformer. Here is a link:

The 100 Watt would be adequate... If you think you might need more you could have a reserve for other equipment... At around $8 USD I don't think you can beat that. The labor cost to change the internal transformer would cost many times what the external transformer costs, not to mention the cost on a new internal transformer.
