Hi, Hope someone can help me... I bought a Shure UHF Twin Diversity system and a Shure U2/Beta87C microphone a few years ago in the UK. I am taking it to the States to tour in mid August. My question is about the power supply. How will this system work in the States on 110V? Will I need a special power cable or will all these efforts just 'fry' the system? I've asked everyone and haven't had an answer as yet - if there's anyone who knows I'd really appreciate the answer. Thanks, Mousel
Call Shure for the best info. You may need a transformer, but ask Shure or you could fry your unit. Also, double check the frequency.

I work with these things everyday. Off the top of my head, I can't recall, but there may be a switch on the inside. I'll check and get back to you asap.

Hi Mousel, If your receiver were U4D or U4S, then their power supply should be universal and you don't need transformer to step down your voltage. If your receiver is any Shure model other than the above model, do you need to have transformer. As for frequency, it shouldn't be problem. Just make sure you are toned to the channel which are not in their TV channel frequency. In US, they are UA or UB frequency. In Europe, they are different. However, you might find the transmission power in your unit smaller than the US local. This is the regulation of Europe forcing all models in Shure to be less than 20W.
Hi Mousel, Forgot to tell you that the power plug in US is not "3-leg" square one that you found in England. They use those computer type. Unfortunately, I don't know those standard names. What I would do is to go to the airport and try to find the adaptor that converts the England standard to US Standard. You might like to buy more which I found them very handy.
