has a stereo phone jack input, but if the input source is
monaural, the transformer lead to the ring of the T.R.S.
input jack may be moved to the jack's tip so that a
standard T.S. phone plug input will feed both transfor-
mers.
Alternately,
the box may
be
built
with
separate
T.S. phone jack inputs, or with XLR inputs. Two
standard (2-wire) phone jacks outputs are provided for
connection
to
the
"left"
and
"right"
inputs
of
the
P-2200. Construct two cables from dual conductor,
shielded cable and T.S. phone plugs to connect the
transformer box output to the P-2200's input. Locate
the step up transformer box at least 5 feet from the
P-2200 to avoid hum pickup from the amplifier's power
transformer. However, the cables from the transformer
box to the amplifier should be no longer than 10 feet,
since this is a high impedance circuit. Use low
capacitance, coaxial, hi-fi type cable between the box
and the amplifier. Since the inputs of the P-2200 are
unbalanced, connecting two cables to its input forms
a short ground loop as shown in Figure 60 (see dis-
cussion of grounding on Page SIX 13). To keep hum
pickup at a minimum, run the two cables close
together; this minimizes the area (and therefore the
hum) enclosed by the loop.
The two diagrams show circuits using a Triad A-65J
transformer, and a UTC A-24 transformer. Similar 600
ohm to 15K-ohm transformers are acceptable. The 1/4
watt, 10%, 15K-ohm resistors are used to terminate the
transformers, for lower distortion, and improved
frequency response.
Bridging Transformer Box
When a single, low impedance, balanced source which
must remain balanced feeds several P-2200 inputs, the
