Jensen Transformers JT-MB-CPCA Microphone Input Transformer

1:1 Windings Ratio, P C Board Mount, for Ultra-low Noise Amplifiers

Jensen Transformers JT-MB-CPCA 1:1 Microphone Input Transformer

Jensen Transformers JT-MB-CPCA 1:1 Microphone Input Transformer

The Jensen Transformers JT-MB-CPCA 1:1 Microphone Input Transformer features a dual Faraday shield for very high CMMR of 122 dB at 60 Hz, as well as a 30 dB magnetic shield.  The wire leads and included angle bracket mounting hardware make it perfect for DIY projects.  Also available in a P C B mounting style as JT-MB-CA.

Like all Jensen microphone input transformers, the JT-MB-CPCA offers legendary sonic transparency. Internal Faraday shielding virtually eliminates hum, buzz, and RF interference, while MuMETAL® magnetic shielding cans reduce hum caused by nearby magnetic fields. Optimized noise performance is ensured by matching the step-up turns ratio to you input stage design.  Extended low-frequency and Bessel-tailored high-frequency response results in the ultra-low time-domain distortion (DLP) that only Jensen offers. Insertion loss is minimal and adding phantom power is simple.

Here are some specs:

  • Impedance ratio:  150:150
  • Turns ratio: 1:1
  • Maximum 20 Hz input: +2dBu
  • THD @ 20 Hz: 0.045 %
  • Frequency Response: 20Hz / 20 KHz , -0.10 dB / -0.04 dB

This transformer is also available with wire leads as JT-MB-CA.

The JT-MB-CPCA is backed by the manufacturer's comprehensive one-year warranty, and has a remarkable 20-year warranty on the transformer device itself.

Jensen Transformers' Description

Jensen Transformers JT-MB-CPCA
 Microphone Input Transformer

1:1 FOR ULTRA-LOW NOISE AMPLIFIERS

  • Ideal retrofit to solve problems with transformerless preamps
  • Dual Faraday shields provide very high CMRR: 122 dB at 60 Hz
  • Eliminates complex circuitry required to block 'phantom' power
  • Excellent frequency response and time domain performance
  • Low transformer related Noise Figure

This transformer is designed to couple a nominal 150 Ω mic to the 3 kS input impedance typical of 'transformerless' preamps. Both windings are fully balanced and either may be reversed to invert polarity. A 30 dB magnetic shield package is standard. Not recommended for mic 'splitter' applications (use JT-MB-C).
