Micro-Tech 2400 Amplifier Service Manual Voltage Conversion The 120 Volt 60 Hz version, sold in the United States, is not voltage selectable. It does not have a voltage selection board. This version is to be used only with 120 Volts and only with 60Hz. All other versions of the Micro Tech 2400 use a volt- age selection board. The following chart indicates different configurations of jumpers for different volt- ages. Note that the circuit breakers, fuse and transmotor may need to be changed to ac
