Get something like this step-down voltage converter and plug it between the wall socket and your audio mixer.EDIT: Oops I misread your post. The voltage converter gets hot because it's not very efficient. A converter of a higher quality might mitigate that problem a bit.
Hello, I recently did the same with a Marantz turntable. 120volt US model. I’m using a step down converter bought from amazon. Reviews of it are a bit hit & miss but it works. I was told to make sure you attach the ground wire from the TT to the amp to avoid any interference. My Marantz is a direct drive (not belt) so there’s been no problems (that I’ve noticed) so far with the speed.

Hope this helps.
I see, that would be the smarter choice yes. Too bad, I really wanted this turntable. There are Step down AC converters from 230V 50Hz to 110V but it doesn't specify anywhere if the frequency output is 50Hz or 60Hz. :/

Mine is a JA50, but this should also work.
Amazon sell a plug-in 100 watt step down for £15.
To use a Japanese power supply in the UK you will need a step down converter like this which I have successfully used with my Japanese Saturn.
Right. Will this work better? http://www.amazon.co.uk/Mercury-651-004-230-Step-Down-Converter/dp/B000L99ZJ2/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1408487618&sr=8-2&keywords=step+down+transformer
