Description
This beefcake of a line-level output transformer comes in 4 different impedance ratios of 100:600 Ohms, 200:600, 600:600, and 2400:600 Ohms. Fat Sally is a bit overweight in order to minimize THD under loud signals and to maximize her bandwidth. Seriously maximized! Fat Sally's core is comprised of a high percentage of nickel so as to provide a superior frequency response throughout and beyond the audio band in both directions. 5Hz? No problem. Do I hear 85kHz? No one can, but my cat purrs when audio plays through this bad mama! But, hold on now. Her real girth is in the tone department. That big fat core says it all. Enjoy the tone!
Fat Sally is series of line-level output transformers which come in 3 variants. There is the FS1, which is 200:600 Ohms, the FS2, which is 600:600 ohms, and the FS3, which is 2.4k:600 Ohms. These transformers are oversized (thus the name) in order to maximize their bandwidth and signal handling capabilities. The core material is a nickel alloy, which greatly adds to the cost, but offers an exceptional frequency response with very low THD. LBA transformers are only available with PC pins.
