interstage convert to phase splitter

Hi,

I have some interstage on hand and I would like to know if it is possible to use it as phase splitter by connecting voltage divider resistors. Will this work?

I am using 50k on each leg (if my memory is not failing). It depends on the max grid leak resistor you can use and on the tranny: you can find the best value using a o/scope and looking for resonances, freq response and square wave steepness/ripples.

Make sure the resistors are matched: I am using 2*100k 1% in parallel for each leg to minimize the mismatch.

Ciao.
 
mmm that's not my case as my IT is PP to PP, but I splitted an input tranny that was not coming with a CT using a couple of resistors.

I did not notice anything odd with my o/scope ... what should I look at?

ciao

You may apply a squarewave (1 to 10 kHz) to the input of the tube, and watch both output of both halves. These should remain equal in bandwidth, phase and amplitude.
