The kind of power you're asking for REQUIRES you to contact an electrical installer in Malaysia to install a high-power 220 to 115 VAC step-down transformer. Unfortunately, these darlings ARE NOT CHEAP (nor small!).

The "quick and dirty" way would be to simply SERIES CONNECT the power cords of two devices (i.e. neutral1 open, hot1 to neutral2 join, hot 2 open - both "open" leads connect to the plug). Unfortunately, this WILL RESULT in a SHOCK HAZARD and it may not work, given the DIFFERENT POWER DRAWS of each piece.

As 'deep suggested: contact the Mfrs. and ask them what to do. It's entirely possible they can send you replacement transformers (if/as required) FOR A FEE or at least steer you to a suitable Audioe Repaire Shoppe to make the conversion.

Good luck!

Ken
