i would like opinions and advice on transformers (before i buy).
long story short, i have in mind to do a mod on my acoustic guitar.
this guitar has a dual-source pick up system (one piezo out and one battery powered mic out).
the pick up system is the Fishman Prefix Premium Blend assembly (common technology).
each pick up's lead (out) is unbalanced.
in the past (of course), i would run each output cable into a high end DI box (for balanced signal).
this is of course how everyone connects an acoustic guitar (on stage or studio).
but, recently, i thought up the idea to install high-end DI transformers INSIDE the guitar.
then, i would wire each pick up out cable with a balanced XLR jack (allowed for dual balanced outputs).
it seems like it would be a simple/lightweight mod (eliminating heavy DI boxes and unbalanced line).
some people think i am crazy for this. but, taylor guitars does this!
have any of you ever heard of a mod like this?
would the transformer for the piezo be different than the one for the mini condenser mic?
should i buy Jensens, Cinemags or ???
