Re: Impedance matching.


I have seen something here a while back about small transformer to match impedance with passive pre amp.
Good quality transformer that can be installed inside my small QED passive box.
This would help to get away with the amorphous sound usually associated with passive pre-amp.

If by impedance matching you mean something which would reduce the output impedance of your passive, that can be done with a step-down transformer, but that will only work if your amplifier has a fair amount of excess gain. That's because a transformer can't reduce the output impedance of your passive without also reducing the signal level.
