Unbalanced to balanced?

DJ,

Are you trying to interface a -10 dB output (RCA) to a +4 dB (XLR-F) input?

The transformer isolation in this circuit would also be useful in doing DJ work where your equipment will be set up in numerous interface configurations and diverse conditions. The Jensen transformers are a bit pricey but extremely well made.

Regarding the Jay's post:
I also agree with Jay below, that the ESP products look very good.
 
DJ,

I'm not clear with what you are asking.

I think most CDP has an output level of 2V RMS (peak).
Amplifiers have more variations in it's sensitivity, so pre-amp must be designed
such that the pre-amp output (when the volume knob turn to maximum) will not drive
the amplifier to clipping.

Because pre-amp stays in the middle between the CDP and the amplifier,
what you need to do is simply design the correct amount of gain in your
pre-amp.

Depends on the circuit type used, gain in op-amps usually (if not always)
is a function of (voltage) feedback resistor. Lowering the resistor value
will increase the voltage feedback and increase the gain.

NE5532 is a dual op-amp. In the ESP website (Rod Elliot's) there is a project
for a very good pre-amp that (if I'm not mistaken) uses OPA2134. OPA2134
is also a dual op-amp. I think that the project allows you to choose your
preferred gain.

If you need the formula to calculate gain in various op-amp circuits,
Let me know and I will dig my computer...

Have you tried ESP??? It's mandatory!
