Hi all,
I’m pretty new to the word of DIY and looking to get my hands dirty by making a few different passive DI boxes.
One of these will be used for balancing a mono synth. I want the DI to be as small as possible so I can tuck it neatly away behind the synth on my desk.
I was wondering if anyone had any experiences the Carnhill VTB 9072 DI Transformer and knows how well it deals with line level audio?
I was originally looking at using the VTB 9046 (10k:600) since it says it’s designed for line level input, will attenuate less and the impedances would probably be fine for what I’m using it for. I’ve now started to lean towards the VTB 9072 (144k:250) instead since I think it will make the box more versatile - the higher input impedance means I can use it for guitar or bass if I choose and the lower output impedance would be closer to what a mic preamp would need.

Anyway just wanted to have someone to run this by, would appreciate any input.
Cheers
