transformer question, quick one i hope
what i'm wondering is if a transformer can (and if so, how) invert a signal....
or maybe this is actually getting closer to the difference between balanced and floating balanced.... which i also dont know
anyway a transformer can give me balanced output from an unbalanced signal. I look at jensen app notes and schems, they dont seem to help me see why.
i'm wondering what happens in the transformer when I apply the + and common to the primary and end up with a balanced (presumably the signal and another equal signal of opposite polarity) signal at the secondary. how does the common signal at the primary become an inverted signal for balanced drive???
or perhaps it doesnt and my conception of balanced lines isn't complete
thanks
