Microphone Input Transformers

Carnhill’s classic range of microphone input transformers

OVERVIEW

Microphone transformers are used for impedance matching to the pre-amplifier stage – for mic preamp input circuits to match microphones to preamp, in tube microphones for matching high impedance tube circuits to normal output impedance, and in ribbon microphones to transform very low voltage, very low impedance ribbon motors to normal microphone output levels.
