Unfortunately it's the worst example here. It is known as "the Tascam problem". Stay away from it.
Could you please explaing what the "the Tascam problem" is?

It's not only a Tascam problem, but also Avid and numerous other "product problems". It consists of an output stage design with two opamps (typically) operating 180 degrees "out of phase" with each other to try and create a balanced output line driver. Problem arises when a system unbalances that line by driving one of the "legs" into ground/0V. That poor opamp will do all it can to drive whatever current it can into that short circuit and often induces a distorted mess into the 0V system.Could you please explaing what the "the Tascam problem" is?

In addition, the output voltage will drop by 6 dB because one leg is missing it's voltage contribution.

According to these DC measurements, I would think the nominal impedance is 10k.It comes from a radio broadcast system, used as line isolator, I guess it's 600 Ohms (the paintjob is mine, these came unbranded) meassures 550 at the primary and about 700 at the secondary,
Yes.Am I correct in my thinking that a 10K load is easyer to drive for most circuits compared to a 600 Ohm load ?
What a curse...(Let's asume the "driver" is a Behringer with a Tascam problem and a Avid complex or something similar)
Anybody got a clue on who could have made these ?
Probably European, my guess was Lundahl but I could not find anything there with these socket pins.
