LL1660: Lundahl Interstage and Line Output Transformer

LL1660 is an interstage / line output transformer for tube amplifiers. The transformer is available with different core air gap for PP or SE drives. To achieve the best high-frequency performance, the transformer is wound with a special low-capacitance winding technique. The transformer has a unique high flux, low distortion audio C-core of Lundahl`s production. The LL1660PP is assembled with a small core air gap to allow for some DC current unbalance. For the S.E. versions of the LL1660, the core air gap is chosen such that the denoted DC current (18mA for a LL1660/18mA) generates a no signal core flux density of 0.9 Tesla when used with all primaries in series. This leaves a flux density swing of 0.7 T for the signal.

The LL1660 is available in 3 versions to suit the circuit topology. (The air-gap is adjusted during manufacture to suit)

  • Push-Pull
  • 10mA Single-ended
  • 18mA Single-ended

(N.B. The purpose of the airgap is to accept the DC current of the output valve without saturating the core, leaving enough headroom for the sound signal)

There are further 3 versions depending on what C-core material you require.

  • Silicon-iron (STANDARD)
  • Amorphous-iron (AM)
  • Nanocrystalline (NC)

Also, there is an option to have a Faraday Sheild fitted to your transformer to reduce the noise floor.

  • Without a Faraday Sheild
  • With a Faraday Shield (S)

And a further 2 options depending on what wire you require.

  • Copper
  • Silver (Ag)

Turns ratio

  • 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 : 2.25 + 2.25

Overall size including pins - 73mm x 61mm x 53mm
