There are two versions of this receiver, a general one (110V &amp; 220V support) and a US one (110V only). Which one do you ship?

The US version is 110v. The European version has to account for voltage difference between UK and Europe.

Only the receiver plugs in to 110V. The transmitter has a 9V battery that last longer than a year and is easy to replace - the unit flips down. I have been using one over a side iron gate for years. I was so pleased with this product I recently purchased another receiver and 2 transmitters. I plan to mount one over my driveway.

The previous answers are wrong. The receiver requires 24 volt AC, which is to be provided by the terminals on the door operator. The operator itself has 110v AC input, but needs to output 24v AC to the terminals. The installation booklet specifies 24 volt, but not whether it is AC or DC. My old Sears operator provides 24v DC to the terminals, and the Multi-Code 1090 receiver didn't work with it. That's when I looked up the 1092-01 power transformer adapter that Multi-Code sells as an accessory for this receiver. The 1092-01 outputs 24v AC.

The difference seems to be in the input voltage, so it's not just the model number. Even though Philips web site for this lists that it accepts "110-240V", all of the main sound bar unit, subwoofer unit and the manual state that it accepts 120V only. If I knew this, I wouldn't have gotten it from USA.Getting big chunky adapter kind of defeats the idea of a soundbar that I wanted to mount on the wall, but I'll see if I can replace/upgrade the internal power supply instead.

Dear Over The Rainbow, Thanks for your inquiry. This is not a dual voltage receiver. As a U.S. Authorized Dealer, we are bound by the Authorized Dealer agreements, which mean we sell only product destined for the U.S., which means 110V. Please let me know if I can be of any additional assistance. Regards, Eric Cohen World Wide Stereo

If you buy it from the British amazon it works with 220V only. The american model works only with 110V.

I got a receiver also. This appears to be a common problem. Amazon - where are you?

The SLX receiver uses an external power supply, and there are separate power supplies available for 120V and 240V operation. The Shure website has more details available regarding this.

I understand this receiver can operate from 110 to 220V AC (Don't know if there will be a problem applying 240V). I you use 110V (as I did), this receiver can't drive a dish motor. Somebody said that using 220V there is no problem driving a dish motor (I didn't test that)

That is correct. There is no 110V plug in the back that can be powered on and off with the receiver. I wish there was one too, but I am still happy with the receiver especially the Airplay feature.

no I did not receive only the US 120volt plug. I would assume any standard end converter would work

This Shure BLX228/PG58 is US version. but it indicated 110-240V on the AC adapter

Dear Boris, Thanks for your inquiry. The model made for the U.S. Market is 110V. As we are a U.S. Authorized dealer for Definitive Technology, that is the model that we carry. Please let me know if I can be of any additional assistance. Regards, Eric Cohen World Wide Stereo

I believe they sell both kinds, 220V and 110V. You will have to be specific and contact the seller to ensure you are shipped the 220V version.

I believe the adaptor is just standard, North American 120v. 110v is an older standard. The input at the back of the transmitter unit is "DC 6 V (800 mA) from the supplied AC power adaptor," according to the manual.

My order was placed with Amazon USA, shipped within the USA and there was no issue of voltage so its 110V like all US small appliances. If you are in a country that runs 220V, 50Hz, they'll probably ship that to you.

I got a couple additional ones on ebay. I would caution you: many of them come from England or China, and though the refurb job is fine, they will come with UK power adapters. You'll need to get a UK to US adapter if you're in the States. The receivers themselves usually seem to go for $20-$40 apiece. Also, any set of computer speakers will work. I got speakers at a Staples (Cyberacoustics) for about $25 with a little subwoofer, and it's a perfect pairing; no computer needed.I hope this helps.
