Graeme, as was mentioned, saying 220v isn't significantly different from terming it 220/240v. Be sure, however, to make the switch to 220v on the back of the EP500, as the manual shows, before you turn it on.
Adaptor plugs for the three square prong Australian outlet should be available for a few dollars, but your old cable should be able to carry all the power necessary. The only possible problem might be if the Axiom cable is shielded to reduce outgoing interference created by the type of amplifier used and if instead using an unshielded cable would allow interference to affect other units nearby.

Enjoy the music, not the equipment.

>>but your old (AC) cable should be able to carry all the power necessary. Good point - if the power cord on your current sub is removeable then just borrow it for now. The port on your new sub is bigger than the woofer on your old sub. That's a good sign

Thanks guys, I sent Brent an email but he has not replied, maybe a little busy.
I managed to get and adapter, I thought about using the old cable but decided against it, it may be wired differently for all I know and I would prefer to use the cable designed for the sub.
Now if I can just get some time to plug it in and play with it.

Where are your priorities?!!! I could have swore you said you were sick and needed some time off to get better, the Axiom flu affects just about everyone.

Hi Graeme L,
Be sure you flip the voltage adaptor to the 220/240-volt position before you connect the power cord and turn on the EP500.
