Information on Lundahl Input Transformers
We think a good part of the "warmth" that is commonly associ-
ated with vintage gear comes from transformers. With trans-
formers the low end and lower mids sound rounder, full-bodied
with more punch. The top end gets a silky touch and benefits
from improved presence without sounding boosted. Reasons
are reduced odd harmonics (which produce harsh top end
impressions) and a slower characteristic compared to elec-
tronic stages which causes a more voluminous sound.
We recommend transformers especially for vocals while elec-
tronic stages can be better for highest precision in signal trans-
mission (transients), but in the end it's a question of personal
taste, applications or for example which mics are in use.
The GainStation 8 Mk2's input transformer delivers 7 dB of
additional passive gain, which must be added to the printed
values.
