Hi All,
i am thinking about making an MS matrix for mastering. I already have a pair of Sowter 4652's (150+150:150+150 ohms will handle +34dB!). I also have a pair of Gardner's MU.7524. - Pri. 150/600ohm. - Sec 600ohmCT. I think that these are the wrong way round for me! the secondaries are NOT two seperate discrete windings(only 3 pins on the connector instead of 4 - 8way octal). Bah! What I would like to know is, could I still use these? Perhaps I could use them in reverse? If so, would there be increased loss? Maybe i could open up the cans and seperate the secondaries. . . (These are painted in grey hammerite mounted on an octal base btw). Maybe someone here(CJ?) has opened one up to investigate? I don't even know if these Gardners are any good(?) - my guess is that they rock. - they are big, heavy, and came out of a broadcast Neve back in the day . . .
Thanks so much in advance to you all!
