Hi All,
flushed with success from my recent G7 build and lots of other DIY gear, I am now planning the build for 2 ribbon mics ( I track a lot of guitars in my small project studio)
I already have a couple of OEP TX's surplus which I thought I might be able to use.
http://uk.farnell.com/oep-oxford-electrical-products/a262a1e/transformer-6-3-6-3-1-1-150ohm/dp/1172346
but I worry that the ratio - even if I pair up the 2 1:6.3 windings to get 1:12.6 - will be low.
Then I wondered whether its possible for at least one mic to use both trannies running into one another to get a 6.3 x 6.3 step ratio - which would give me 1:39.7 ratio overall. Would this even work ?
I have my magnets coming and already have my Ali ribbon material, perspex and other stuff ready to build so just need a little advice on the transformer options.
I'm in the UK so OEP , Sowter and Xaudia are my TX options if the OEPs wont cut it.
Cheers
Pete
