millenium pp2b mod revisited

I had a question regarding the step-up transformer in my pp2b mod and I was curious  if my claims would somehow substantiate. Well, nothing beats a lab.


The function generator has 50 Ohms output impedance and I measured the gain with the PCM-D50 as it displays the level numerically in 1 dB steps. I found the gain to be 11dB, somewhat less then 12dB, exactly as expected. Now a typical output impedance of a mike would be 150 Ohms but a quick check with the calculator tells me that it doesn't make much difference.

I also did a frequency check.


freq Level in dB
20 -11
35 -11
63 -11
125 -10
250 -10
1000 -10
10000 -10
12000 -10
14000 -10
16000 -10
18000 -10
20000 -10
23300 -13


Good enough for me, I have no intention to beat 'Deutsche Grammophon'.
