Default Is my LT44 transformer suitable for audio (de)coupling?


"Dave Plowman (News)"

DC measurements can give a guide to the turns ratio but not the
impedance.



** That is quite wrong.


With small to medium audio transformers, the rated impedance of a
winding = 10 to 20 times the DC resistance.


This fact derives directly from the *efficiency* of such transformers
being around 80% to 90 %.


The LT44 complies.


It might well do. But it's not a rule of thumb I'd rely on for all
transformers.



** Silly answer.

Contrary to your false claim above - it is a quite reliable guide.
