UTM INDUSTRY audio transformers - from Poland - EU

[Whoops]

Hello,
in the last months I've seen the UTM audio transformers website.
It's a Polish company, it has a nice website with some good transformer offerings.
It's also great to have a transformer manufacturer inside EU now after Brexit, which made ordering from the UK being quite expensive.

I would like to ask and invite member IGS, as it's his company, to introduce the company and talk a little bit about their work and experience.

I would also like to discuss some of the products.

Thanks

I am also interested in these TX and Inductors. Looks like the data are directly compareable to carnhills and lots of other companys. The price calculation is nearly the half of carnhills in Europe.
More professionel information and reviews through TX Experts would be really helpfull. If the quality and the availability of these TXs is convincing according to the offered price policy it could get really a hard fight for other TX companys outside the EU....

Definitely,
it would be great if IGS chimes in this thread

regards

Would be great if he could join this thread....
As example I calculated 2xIn, 2xInterstage and 2xOut for a N 33609 Compressor Clone:
- UTM: 231,74 Euro, all, incl Fedex....!!
- Carnhill/AML: 460 Euro (370 Euro /GBP-EUR exch rate 1,18 + about 90 Euro Importtax and fees)
Wow, speechless....

The prices and specs do look attractive, even in the US

Hell yeah they do!

I tried UTM's 3503s, very good sound, quality craftmanship, and rather fast shipping! I will try their output transformer for 486 vari mu and tube input next! The shipping is still a lil too expensive at 17e for europe!

That's the API 2503 output transformer, yeah?

yes!

It would be useful if someone could measure tha basic paran]meters of these transformers for example primary inductance at 100Hz and leakage inductance.

Yes, the problem is that they only have the option for FedEx shipping. Those companies are unnecessary expensive, fedex, UPS, DHL and the likes.

It would be great if they have an option for Registered standard Polish Post, that would work great and be less expensive

One of the problems is that transformers are pretty heavy and most shipping costs are determined by weight.

Yes for sure, the costs are determined by weight, but FedDex is much more expensive than using Polish Post, in this called the company is called "Poczta Polska", Polish equivalent to the "Royal Mail"

Marking @igs so he notices the thread.

Hello,
I've been looking through your comments here, and I appreciate your interest in my products. I would like to point out that, all the parameters like the resistance and inductance are listed on the UTM website - just check the transformer's description.
When it comes to the shipping, it isn't a problem for us to send the products via Polish Post but, it comes out only about 2€ cheaper than FedEx for a 1kg package.
If you have any further questions, please let me know.

a further question:
can you state, or publish on the UTM website, at what frequency in Hertz the impedance mesaurements were made at?

The Uni-T meter we use has an auto-range function. It measures the impedance at 100Hz or 1kHz.
I'll verify these parameters right after the Christmas break.

I will definitely be wanting 4 of the 3503's when I build my next 4 channel API clone. Also because my real life last name has an SZ on the end, and I gotta support my Polish brothers.

How do you measure freq response. Ex UTM3515 Has primary inductance of 19 H and is -0,2 dB at 15Hz with 15K source, it dont add up for me? The source z is way lower? Otherwise you need like a 1000H

By the way I just ordered push pull trafo UTM3580

Please let us know what you think of it when you have it, it will be my next order as well
