The AMI T58 microphone output transformer was developed as a high resolution transformer upgrade for existing SM-57 or SM-58 microphones to give the same solid character without restricting upper mid and high end response. It effectively makes the mic closer to that of an SM-7 (a mic that usually goes for about $350- at most retailers).

SPECIFICATIONS

* Primary impedance: 15 to 25 Ohm
* Primary inductance: 250 mH (120Hz) @ 1.5 Ohm
* Step up ratio: 1 to 5
* Secondary inductance: 5.4H (120Hz) @ 25 Ohm
* Short impedance: 0.029mH

Anyone get their hands on one of these yet? It looks interesting, and I was wondering if it sounded better than the previously discussed SM57 mod from TapeOp #52.

I just got mine today. I'll start messing with it tomorrow, and report back.

Thanks!

I usually forget to check the "other" audio forums.

Hey Guys!

I wanted to pop in and throw up a link to one of my clients modification to his SM57.

I was pretty impressed!!!

He also puts up blind examples of the mod and a regular 57
