Can someone please explain the concept behind this? Why is it sometimes incorporated into amps, especially in active speaker designs?
I understand what it's doing but I don't understand why it needs to be done. Is there a purpose for balancing a speaker (especially when it has less of 1' of wiring to run through) that I'm not aware of?
It is usually done only to HF drivers, not LF.
It seems the last thing I would want before my HF driver is a colouring transformer!
The only thing I can think of is the transformer might provide some protection of the driver against DC. But there are DC blocking caps on the amp input anyway.
I realize this is a totally newbie question. I know next to nothing about amp and speaker theory.
