bg is correct in that thistransformeris a low impedance microphone-to-grid
matching unit. Its turns ratio is about 1:10, meaning that if your primary
line
level voltage is 1VAC, then thetransformer'ssecondary level is going to be
around 10VAC (assuming the impedances allow it). I don't think that's what
you're after.


Of course, you could always send the secondary into a resistive voltage
divider
to get the level back down so the NE5534inputisn't overdriven. Better
still,
connect thetransformerin reverse; using the secondary as theinputand the
primary as the output. That would reverse the turns ratio to 10:1, so the
output level would be 1/10 theinputlevel. If you need to maintain the
frequency response characteristics of thetransformer, then you need to
experiment with source and load impedances that thetransformersees.


A better choice would be a 1:1 ratiotransformer; something like a 600:600 ohm
matchingtransformer.

What microphone puts out 1 volt? Millivolts is more like it.



I was intending to use it as a line level input, however I tried it
and got nothing. Removed it and patched the line level input directly
to the R/C network at the input of the first opamp and I get a very
low level signal but adjusting the level pot doesn't seem to do
anything. Will try the 600:600.
