Audio Magic XFDT988N1:1 Hi-Fi Stereo Audio Transformer v2.0 | Vintage Iron
The v2.0 Audio Transformer designs offer enclosed transformers for better electrical shielding. The units are all hand wired with twisted pair and point-to-point connections. The desk design provides more options for ratio, bypass, attenuation, termination, ground lift and other functional buttons and switches. XLR connectors, special functions and/or switches can be added per request. Images are of the 1:2 v2.0 with XLR and Bypass and the original version. The 1:1 units look exactly the same with the exception of the ratio switches; and come with termination switches.
This essential passive audio magic XFDT988N1:1 brings color, detail, improved sonic image, spacial separation, harmonics, and glue to your audio mix. Low-frequency phase shift enhances bass frequencies. These are 1988 European manufactured transformers, used in telephone systems, and are responsible for high performance audio distribution. Dubbed the Audio Magic XFDT988N1:1, this piece of gear will add subtle character to your audio recordings and mixes. Sounds are glued together, in an ear pleasing way, as they transition through the magnetic medium.

Signal flow…. MPC3000 into a Big Noise MPC XFDT988N 1:2 into a set of UAD apollos (a 8 and an x8) Arrange and edit itb, Then record that to my tape machine to give it life. Tape machine feeds this Yamaha PM1000. Running effect sends to this Mixwizard WZ16:2 (mixwiz has 6 sends and I can put the return from my fx on channels without eating up space on the PM. The direct outs from the PM (Mod) feed this Neve 8816 summing mixer. The Neve does mid/side and some other cool mastering section stuff (stereo widener, parallel processing on the busses etc.) from there its an old Meyer CP10 stereo eq (7 band para running in mid side because of the neve) and a set of Calrec bus comps (neve diode style) in serial for weight/glue. I come off the calrecs and drive/clip (1-2db on Drum peaks) my ad converter (Burl B2 bomber). Whats coming off the Burl is exactly what you’re hearing. Recording the digital inputs direct to the video.
