Mains AC noise is reduced by the isolating nature of the transformer, enhanced by the balanced design, which increases the common mode noise rejection. At the same time, the balanced design elegantly places its output\u2019s live and neutral voltage at equal and opposite potential to the earth. Thus the earth now becomes a true null point and equipment powered with it will contribute very little leakage current and noise to the Earth, from their power supply sources. And as we mentioned earlier, safety Earth and system ground are now inter-related, this also means less system ground pollution from the power supply side. Thus the balanced winding nature of the transformer is the key.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\n<style>\n#text-747120819 {\n  text-align: left;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row row-collapse align-middle align-center\"  id=\"row-595845705\">\n\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1567900858\" class=\"col medium-6 small-12 large-6\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_1549973597\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" >\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"505\" height=\"340\" src=\"https:\/\/staging.audiokafe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/diagram-non-balanced-1.jpg.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.audiokafe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/diagram-non-balanced-1.jpg.webp 505w, https:\/\/staging.audiokafe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/diagram-non-balanced-1.jpg-300x202.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 505px) 100vw, 505px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_1549973597 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"text-2429490381\" class=\"text\">\n\t\t\n\n<p>Fig 2a.

At Plixir we are happy to work with Noratel, the premier audio transformer manufacturer. Besides being truly bifilar and balanced in design across all our range and models, Noratel\u2019s transformers also have special, unique design features which enhances noise rejection and also current delivery into load to gain better dynamics and transient attack.<\/p>\n<p>We spec our design to only have one set of winding per transformer. We do not cater for multi-voltages (for example, cater for 120Vac USA model and 230Vac HK model) in one transformer. Often this method is used to save cost, so that one can use a single model for all variants and thus enjoys better economy of scale. However, this way of design unnecessarily complicates the transformer and introduces noise to the system. Our spec thus is performance first.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\n<style>\n#text-3046253194 {\n  text-align: left;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#col-910895976 > .col-inner {\n  max-width: 1180px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\n<style>\n#row-1800130214 > .col > .col-inner {\n  padding: 100px 0px 100px 0px;\n  background-color: rgb(0,0,0);\n}\n<\/style>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"page-blank.php","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1253","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/staging.audiokafe.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1253","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/staging.audiokafe.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/staging.audiokafe.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging.audiokafe.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging.audiokafe.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1253"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/staging.audiokafe.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1253\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/staging.audiokafe.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1253"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
