New Guy Line matching transfo ?

[iheardsumthin]

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

try the Jensen site for balanced transformer outputs

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

or maybe point me in the right direction of someone who can answer this......

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.

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.

THANKS!
It was the warm sound that I am after. I really appreciate it!
