i have some beyer 1:30 transformer, so i would like to use it reversed (30:1) to do a passive DI, loaded with a 200 R and maybe a zobel network.

is it a stupid idea or maybe do you have some idea to use them?

cheers
 
The 30:1 transformer could be excellent as a DI.  Why terminate the secondary?  Have you measured the frequency response feeding your favorite preamp?
 
the beyer tranny is a 200:180k transformer and to show to the next stage (mic preamp) an optimum impedance (mic impedance)
 
If that is truly the impedance ratio, I would expect to see limited bandwidth as a result.  You tend to lose a lot of response, for a limited increase in gain.  Check them out first.
