The job cannot take more than I hour. It's only a question of adding a jumper to each speaker. Easy for any service technician

Thanks for that. A transformer seems a lot of hassle so maybe I will just buy some cheap speakers in Canada to see me through.

No, they won't just plug & play' as the voltage in Canada is different to the UK.

You can either use a voltage converter (see our FAQ section article on them) or your engineer can do a simple tweak to the 'insides' for them to run on 110v.

Will UK spec Beolab 3 speakers work in Canada?

Any advice/experience welcomed. I have searched around and checked out the specifications here;

but have not been able to find an easy answer.

I will be spending a fair amount of time indoors avoiding the freezing Winnipeg winter and would like to take my British Beolab 3 speaker. But will they work with a Canadian power supply?

Thanks.
