Hi, my first post but this is my go-to forum to answer all questions. I mod stuff, I think people call it circuit bending but I keep it utilitarian.
Can someone point to a schematic of a line matching transformer I can make that will add a little "iron" to the output. I made a solid state guitar amp that has a line out and I want to add a low XLR. I am so sorry if this is in the wrong place or I asked something stupid. TIA |

I think I may need a little theory here as well. I am going from an unbalanced line output into a transformer and out to an XLR balanced? Can this be done unpowered?
Does it work in both directions? Thanks |

Hi, I don't mind bumping my post every 12 hours until someone can help me, or tell me where I might find someone that can help.
I really appreciate all your help so far. I have the schematics from the Jensen site and it it is not what I am looking for. I am looking for someone that knows something about using a transformer on a unbalanced line out that might warm it up a bit and convert it to balanced. Again, thanks fort all the help, I know this is beyond basic for all of you, but I could really use the help. Am I mistaken thinking someone on here could help? |

Again thanks for all the great help but maybe someone will get tired of seeing this get bumped and explain to me this basic schematic or let me know of a more helpful forum that would be willing to help a newbie that is struggling.
As a moderator of my local Jeep forum, I can assure I am not new to forums, only here, and I also can assure you we help anyone that needs it. I always have time to explain a basic principle to someone that is new, unless no one really knows the answer and then we can send them to the right place. I am looking forward to the day I don't have to bump this anymore but I still do not mind exercising my persistence. |

Didn't bother to go to the Jensen site and read all about it huh?
Hard to help someone that won't follow directions. http://www.edcorusa.com/products/tra...sm10k-150.html

I am sorry I was not clear.
Even the white papers don't explain about adding Iron to warm up a signal. I was hoping someone on this forum could help. I had also noted that I had read through the Jensen site and it didn't answer some basic questions like does it work in both directions and can I do this powered and unpowered. |

I selected the part you need.
Buy it. Hook it up. The pin that's marked + input, that's your input The pin that's marked -input, that's your input ground The pin that's marked + output, that's the + output (XLR pin 2) The pin that's marked - output, that's the - output (XLR pin 3) The pin that's marked C.T., that's your output ground (XLR pin 1) I even selected an M6 core to give you that warm 'iron' sound. If you want a neutral sound use the 80% nickel cores.
