Supposing you have a 1:10 mic input transformer and a need for a 10:1 mic output transformer, and a busted checking account. Could you reverse that 1:10 into a 10:1? Would it work? And if so, would it be sub-optimal in an audible way?
I understand even if the impedances are correct, the inductance and DCR will be different as it's a longer wire around a larger core, and these specs factor into design considerations that could shift the frequency response if not compensated for.
That said, here's my specific example.
The D-U87 calls for a
CM-2480 impedance: 16.5K : 150 (10.5 : 1) operating level: +18dBu - data sheet
I have a spare:
CM-75101A impedance: 150,600 : 15K operating level: -2 dBu
What 'cha think? Worth trying? Or don't bother.
