CASEWORK & FINISH

Black Art now offer a choice of finish either open mounted this is the generic transformer look utilitarian with universal ie any, face mounting brackets. This allows for under chassis mounting and orientation to maximise noise rejection.

The other finsh option is for fitted casework. These fitted cases are now available fitted to the current range of interstage transformers. Each case is constructed from aluminium and stainless steel. Finished in black "leather look" paintwork with captive mounting nuts. Flying leads exit from beneath the case to avoid yet another interruption to the signal path.

Due to the internal construction of some of the designs they may only be suitable for fitted/potted casework. This will be noted in the finsh column.

Under Development

The following table contains a list of the interstage transformers currently under development at Black Art. They are listed for reference and are not yet at a sufficient stage of development to be unleashed into the big wide world. Should you require further information please contact Black Art.

NOTES :

Frequency response is measured in circuit using the actual valve indicated in the "suggested valve" column. The response quoted is measured at the limit of class A operation or in the case of line output transformers for 1 VRMS into the 600 Ohm load and indicates the -1.0 dB points.

Single Ended transformers are designed to operate at a specific bias current. Using a different current WILL compromise bass performance and increase distortion which will result in a lumpy indistinct bass and a veiling of the midrange vocal articulation. If you intend to operate Black Art transformers above or below their rated bias please contact Black Art and we will adjust the air gap to suit your application.
