Probably 🙂
You need to confirm the required mains voltage and wattage of the items you've actually bought.
The user manual should say.
Best to look on the products themselves.

 

[johnny156]

required soundbar 100-240 volt 50/60hz
Subwoofers 110-240 volts 50/60hz
Total soundbar wattage 1000 watts

what do you recommend to use with it

Most items either use US or EU voltages, the former is typically quoted as 110/120v and the latter 220v. The UK is 230/240v. EU and UK are compatible (plugs aside), but US isn't compatible with either. If your gear states it will cope with anything from 110-240v, it must have circuitry able to ascertain what voltage it is receiving and adjust accordingly - which would be a new one for me. Not that that would be saying much...

would this do the trick LVYUAN 1000W 220V - 110V Step Up & Step Down Voltage Transformer Converter UK to US & US to UK Dual 110V & 220V outlets from amazon uk

 

[Vincent Kars]

100 - 240V, 50/60Hz (Soundbar)
110 - 240V, 50/60Hz (Subwoofer)

This is what is called a universal power supply.
So it works with 100V-240V and 50 and 60 Hz.
No transformer needed.

You might try support@nakamichi-usa.com to verify.

 

[johnny156]

do you mean it will work with the power supply I selected or what would you buy Vincent that would work

 

[Vincent Kars]

It says 'universal' so it works where there is power.
In the USA it is 60 Hz/110V
In the UK 50Hz / 240V
In both cases you plug it straight in to the wall socket.

the trouble is I'm in the uk
it's American device
the soundbar power cable has 2 prongs
the subwoofer power cables has 2 prongs
so in the UK I need a converter trouble is which one to use

You don't require electrical conversion Johnny - just 3-pin UK to appropriate 2-pin adaptor plugs.

Not necessary for you.

I'd bet the monkey house has at least one such product 👍
(Have a look at what's printed on your phone charger).

If the cables are detachable then have a look on Amazon for one that has a UK plug on the end instead of a US one.
You can also get UK to US adaptors from Amazon if you want to use the cable you have already got.
Use dedicated cables if possible as it is a better option then an adaptor.

If that's the type of connector your speakers have, then yes.
