@JonSnell Electronic how do I know I have the right "impedance" when choosing the line input transformer?
Thank you
Thank you
Your source, Microphone/CD Player etc, has an impedance stated by the manufacturer and the amplifier has also a stated input impedance, usually around 22k or higher.
There are many books about impedances in most reference libraries.

I much fear you are downgrading your system with this Mod.this is the DRV134 circuit/diagram

The audio transformer was (in this case the pic was using Lundahl 1545a) was wired to the XLR input and then to the amp.

I've looked at the Lundalh 1545a datasheet but I can't understand how to wire it.
Thank you.
Lundahl Transformers are excellent, yet I doubt any transformer can meet, let alone surpass:
* Load capacitance (µF) 1
* THD + N @ 1 kHz (%) 0.0005
* Noise floor (RTO, 20 kHz BW) (dBu) -98
* Slew rate (Typ) (V/us) 15
* Small-Signal bandwidth (Typ) (MHz) 1.5
There are some areas where transformers are still unbeatable:
* weak low impedance signals such as dynamic microphones and MC pickups
* real galvanic isolation
* independence from ground
* long Audio lines, specially in a noisy environment
But: with line level signals, inside the same chassis, 10 cm away???
What´s the point?
