sbelyo Posted March 5, 2022 Report Share Posted March 5, 2022 Anyone ever try something like this? https://audioxpress.com/files/attachment/2685 I wanted to see if I could find something passive that would take an unbalanced signal from a preamp and convert it o a balanced output. Is this worth trying? Or would I damage the balanced amp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n_maher Posted March 5, 2022 Report Share Posted March 5, 2022 There are plenty of commercial products (and DIY for that matter) that take a line-level signal and use passive components to create a differential signal. My first thought would be that if you're going to do that, it'd be something I'd argue is worth spending some serious $ on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbelyo Posted March 6, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2022 I agree, I've found a few schematics online similar to the one I posted above. I see that edcor makes a similar one for $28 https://edcorusa.com/products/copy-of-pc-series-balanced-or-unbalanced-line-matching-transformers?variant=41110251962555 I think I'll order a pair just to see how it works. The Jensen transformers are $95 each. I also found https://cinemag.biz/line_input/line_input.php Do you think I'm fine with 600 Ohm | 600 Ohm like the article? The input would come from the lineout of a chord mojo and feed a Dynalo mini Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbelyo Posted March 6, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2022 that's some good reading. I didn't see that. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audiostar Posted April 9, 2022 Report Share Posted April 9, 2022 Look up the Neutrik NA2 MD-0B-TX and Neutrik NA2 M-D2B-TX for this and enjoy. They are the same except for the black/red color on the chinch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

audiostar Posted April 19, 2022 Report Share Posted April 19, 2022 They have mini transformers build in and are just excellent (and very handy). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
