In the apnote, a transformer is required in both "balanced to unbalanced" circuits to get good common mode rejection.
This was also my experience when I set up PA equipment for bands. I built several homebrew audio transformer boxes (Jensen JE-11 transformers) which were quite effective in solving grounding problems. The root of grounding problems is often incorrect grounding topology inside the equipment, but adding an external transformer is an effective band-aid. I also carried a couple medical power isolation transformers for situations where it was more desirable to put the transformer in the mains circuits rather than the audio path, but the effect was exactly the same. -- Timothy Stockman ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Timothy Stockman's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8867 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48882 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
