75TL thrown in for size
By adding a second strategicly places winding on the secondary I am able to get three different turns ratios which all have essentially the same frequency characteristics. When you work the speaker impedance back to the load you get a number of options to play with. Below is a screen grab of the spreadsheet showing how the numbers work out.
The three possible connections are:
Secondary 1 alone (Sec 2 remains floating)
Sec 1 in series with Sec 2 adding
Sec 1 in series with Sec 2 subtracting
since secondary two has a small number of turns and is never referenced to ground, it doesn't introduce the capacitive issues that plague other transformers causing varied response as you adjust the impedance.
To make things even worse (and I assure you i did not draft this on 1, April.... take a gander at this.

wow! I like it very much! can it make by nickel core? thanks
ReplyDeleteyes,
ReplyDeletebut the nickel cored units have brass end bells. Of course you could cover them with a can if you want.

That'd be a LOT more impressive if that was a 450TL in the picture ;)
ReplyDeleteI did a bit of a numbers game on this, working with the conventional outputs of 4, 8, and 16 Ohm:

(on the x-axis, points -1, 0, 1 are subtracting, alone and adding, respectively);
2^x is the perfect winding spec, (1+0.333x)^2 is approximation with equal ‘errors’ at the 4 and 16 Ohm sides, compared to the 8 Ohm centre. i.e. reflected impedance is 1/8th higher at 4 and 16 Ohm than at 8 Ohm.
this means secondary 2 should have 1/3rd the turns of secondary 1, fwiw
Do you have an amp built for audition?
