Altec Lansing has developed a complete new line of trans-

formers which have the necessary frequency range, power

carrying capacity, low insertion loss, low phase shift, and
ample electro-magnetic and electrostatic shielding, good
balance of windings for push pull operation, and proper
impregnation and treatment so that heat and moisture will
not adversely affect their continued operation. Ability to
handle the rated power at low frequencies insures that the
intermodulation products will be very low.

The use of negative feedback in amplifiers requires that

the frequency range of the amplifier must be made much
broader than the actual amplification characteristic
needed. The required frequency range over which the trans-
mission characteristics of the feedback loop must be con-
trolled is surprisingly high and represents the price that
must be paid in order to obtain the benefits of negative
feedback.

Altec Lansing transformers, unless otherwise specified, have

a transmission range of 20 - 20,000 cycles (:' 1 db) and this
condition will hold over a range of 60 db in power. In most
cases the transformers will have good transmission up to
50 KC so that it is not necessary to use special compensa-
tion in the feedback path when the transformer is part of
it. The same situation is present at the very low frequencies
since in general the transformers will not be down over 3 db
at 10 cycles.

A hybrid or three winding transformer de-
TP 255 A signed to operate from two 500 ohm sources
~ ~ into a 500 ohm load. A balancing resistor of
approximately 250 ohm is required in the primary circuit. For maximum attenuation between the
two sources, the exact value of this resistor should be determined from measurements made in
the circuits where the transformer is used. The correct value, under average circumstances, will
yield a minimum attenuation of from 27 to 30 db over the frequency range between 20 c.p.s.
ond 10,000 c.p.s., with a maximum attenuation of approximately 50 db at some point between
500 cp.s. and 1,000 c.p.s. Frequency response from. either source. to the load is flat within 1 db
