Confirmation from Sowter

Here is confirmation from Brian Sowter that their attenuators cannot be used as unbalanced to balanced convertors. The email snippet for your information.


From Brian:
"You cannot use one of our transformer attenuators as a phase splitter.  3575 could be used following the attenuator but our type 1125 has full geometric balance and would be more accurate than any non transformer method."


To my question:
"I am planning to build the Raven and was wanting to use the 9985 as both a phase splitter and an attenuator instead of the transformer phase splitter currently recommended (either a 3575 (which I have) or the LL1676).

Can you confirm that the 9985 is suitable as a phase splitter as well, and with excellent imbalance."
