EE21 or EE23?
Lundahl has two pin out systems. Some transformers need EE21, some need EE23. Outside connections and optics are the same.
Transfer Ratio.
Some transformers are intended for gain, some for attenuation. For this reason we call this transfer ratio.
Close J2: Low transfer Ratio. (J1, J3 open)
Close J1+J3: High transfer Ratio. (J2 open)
Grounding
1) Use of the Ground (G) Connections
The G connections are connected to the board ground plane at both sides. They are used if an XLR cable needs to be shielded, or to send or receive an unbalanced signal.
- If L- (or H-) is is connected to G, the other end becomes an unbalanced connection. In the configuration pictures, there are many examples for this.
- If connecting L+ (or H+) to G, the other end becomes inverting.
2) Use of J4 and J6, with balanced output signal
A grounded center tap is ideal, to transmit signal over a XLR cable. This enforces a ground reference to the balanced signal, and yet it stays normally balanced.
- J4 grounds the center tap of the H-Side output signal. It can not used be used for an RCA Output.
- J6 grounds the center tap of the L-Side, in case the L-Side is used as output, AND if those windings are in series.
- J4 and J6 are not used together.
