Just a quick question to clear this up in my head, I don't have anything to test here with me. When de-balancing an input with a 1:1 transformer, is there still a 6dB loss due to single-ended vs. differential?
A RaneNote on unity gain/balancing I found says the following about output transformers, but nothing about input, however I would assume it is the same?
"...because the output signal develops across the secondary winding, it does not matter whether one side is grounded or not. Grounding one side gives the same 2 volts output. Only this time it references to ground instead of floating. There is no gain change between balanced and unbalanced operation of output transformers."
Cheers
