The Jensen Transformers
JT-DB-EPC ISO-MAX 12:1 "Direct Box" Transformer features a double Faraday shield and a 30 dB magnetic shield.
These Jensen Direct Box Transformers are the ideal choice for coupling guitar pickups, musical instrument and other line level outputs to low impedance microphone inputs. They also give excellent results when used as an output transformer for Tube type condenser microphones. Direct Box transformers provides ground isolation and allow long cable runs from high impedance sources without excessive bandwidth loss.
It may also be worth mentioning that the JT-DB-EPC is a direct replacement for the CT283 transformer, as used in the Rode Classic II microphone.
Here are some specs:
The JT-DB-EPC is backed by the manufacturer's comprehensive one-year warranty, and has a remarkable 20-year warranty on the transformer device itself.
When loaded by the 1 k? input impedance typical of mic preamplifiers, this transformer has a 140 k? input impedance, making it ideal for high impedance sources. It can be used with or without an active buffer as a "direct box" for electric guitars or synthesizers. A 30 dB magnetic shield package is standard.
In this photo, the PCB pins and Valox insulator can be seen.
The JT-DB-EPC is packaged in a small cardboard box as shown here, and we include a printed copy of the data sheet.

Please refer to the Shipping and payments tab to see the actual services, rates, and transit times available for this item.
Priority Mail Express International (aka EMS)
Our preferred international shipping method for all international shipments because it offers the best tracking as well as the fastest and most dependable delivery.
Priority Mail International
Available for items under $300 in value. Cost is somewhat lower, although delivery gets less priority than PMEI.
First Class Mail International
Economy service for items weighing less than 4 pounds and valued at under $100. This is the least expensive international shipping option, but the savings comes at the expense of tracking - scanning is not mandatory, so this service does not provide reliable tracking information, and the post office will not trace delayed or lost packages.
EIS (eBay International Shipping)
This is a premium expedited shipping service where your total cost, including import duties and taxes, are known and paid during checkout. eBay assumes full responsibility for the safe delivery of your shipment.
If you would prefer shipping via mail, and to take responsibility for your own import duties and fees, we sometimes offer similar listings that offer that option (Search for the same item without "EIS" in the title). If you can't find what you need, please don't hesitate to contact us.
Please refer to the Shipping and payments tab to see the actual services, rates, and transit times available for this item.
Keep in mind that eBay's transit time estimates are not guaranteed. The total transit time to your address can be affected by circumstances in your own country, such as delays at your local customs office, or cases where no one is available to receive the delivery.
With the exception of EIS, International customers should be prepared to pay import taxes and/or duties at the time of delivery. In NAFTA member countries, customs duties should be discounted for products that are made in the USA, but taxes may still be collected. Please be advised that we declare actual contents, value and country of origin for customs and insurance purposes.
No exceptions please.
