Well, I'm planning on setting up a little studio to record my band and any other projects I come upon. I'm probably going to buy a 1010LT and possibly in the moderately distant future a Yamaha MG16/4 mixer for live stuff, or something along those lines (as well as some mics, obviously).
Anyway, I live in Australia, so it's far cheaper to get stuff like the 1010LT and Yamaha from an American store. Apart from the obvious warranty issues I would encounter should something go wrong (fingers crossed), would I run into any problems running the Yamaha mixer on Australian power just using an American to Australian standard power plug converter? Would I have to buy some form of special transformer to convert the power, assuming the mixer was specifically designed to run on American power? I'm a bit of an electrical simpleton, so any help is greatly appreciated.
Also, on a separate note, has anyone had much experience with Alto gear? There's a shop in town that sells pretty competatively priced Alto mixers and such, any opinions on quality?
