Hi Everyone!

I need a bit of help… I have a pair of KRK Rokit6 I bought when I lived in the UK - they’re 220v with no switch on the back. I had them in storage and recently moved to the US. My goal was to sell them before moving to the states - unfortunately had very low ball offers (all I wanted was £200 for the pair).

Anyway, long story short I’m stuck with them now and not sure what would be the best way to get them to work here… I’m open to all advice!

Total power: 73 watts
800mA-250v

Setting up a 240v power input is not an option as I’m renting! Haha.

Thanks everyone!

Step up transformer?

But if it's 50Hz and your new place is 60Hz then that will not be optimal.

Maybe sell the amplifier boards and buy 120V ones?

Also what generation of Rokit 6? £200 would be a lot if v1 or V2.

Is there a specific type of transformer? Would I need to get one transformer for each speaker?

There might be a switch inside. Can you pull the back off and look?
