I`m trying to understand distortion parameters on transformers. A transformer manufacturer gave me this specification.
when he say "it does xx dBu at 20Hz" how I should interpret that? there is a standard THD for that measure? 1%? or it mean that before that dBu it will burn??? ???
other thing that I don't understand is why it is worst at a lower impedance at audio transformer chapter by Bill Whitlock http://jensen-transformers.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Audio-Transformers-Chapter.pdf he states that lower source impedance result in a lower distortion.
thanks in advance

With a source impedance of 600 Ohms driving it and loaded with 2.43K, it does +21dBu at 20Hz. At 50 Ohms source impedance, it does +16dBu.
