SPL LINE OUT Lundahl (Premium-Kit)

Transformers can be used as an alternative to electronic balancing stages in the inputs and outputs.

The bass and fundamental range becomes rounder, fuller and gets more pressure, the high and overtone range sounds a bit silkier and more present.

Reasons are reduced portions of odd harmonics (which are responsible for hard high tone) and a certain inertia compared to electronic stages, which leads to the more voluminous low tone characteristics.

However, electronic stages are better for highest precision and speed in signal transmission (transients).

The bottom line: it’s a question of taste and application.
