Im trying to understand why each mic circuit needs correct transformer .... I been reading about a U87 single FET circuit needing a higher ratio transformer 11:1 I believe why is this......Im just trying to learn, I dont seem to be able to get my head round impedance....
I prototyped a U87 circuit & used a Hauf T14/1 tranformer as I think its about the right ratio.... would that make it correct impedance ? ......it worked & sounded great with Tim Cambell capsule, I have switch to dissable de emphassis.....
I was then lucky to find two Marinair transformers similar I understand to Neve mic pre input transformers a much lower ratio.... I didnt know anything about them at the time made a U87 circuit & just tried wiring them randomly & came across a wiring combo that sounded good the mic has much more output and sounds better to my ears, can this be wouldnt that be too low ratio for this circuit....
Thanks
