I put together a passive DI using a carnhill VTB9072 (12:1) transformer. I prototyped it and the output seemed a bit low. Sounded great though! Is there a way I could increase the output of the circuit?
It was wired as follows -
3 - 4 (Connect primaries in series for maximum input impedence)
5 - 6 (Input cold side connected to GND)
7 - 8 and 9 - 10 (Connect secondaries in parallel for minimum output impedence)
2 - Jack Tip (Input hot)
5 - Jack Sleeve (Input screen to GND)
7 - XLR pin 2 (Output hot)
9 - XLR pin 3 (Output cold)
11 - XLR pin 1 (Output screen to GND)
Cheers, Finlay.
