This is a listing of special output transformers designed by Menno Vanderveen.

PAT 4150-01 Application: 300B 30 W

PAT4150-00.pdf
 
300Bs are often are used in Single Ended configuration, however this transformer offers the possibility of Push Pull application with this famous power triode. The primary impedance is 3500 Ohms. The secondary impedance is 4 Ohms, 6 Ohms, 8 Ohms, or 16 Ohms ensuring that even low speaker impedances can be driven without difficulty. The transformer can handle full power in standard Push Pull design without entering the positive grid-cathode region. Frequency range extends up to 162 kHz. For strong bass reproduction the power bandwidth starts at 14 Hz. Special attention has been paid to the differential phase distortion, being below 2 degrees up to 100 kHz. This is an audio purist transformer for the 300B triode where more output power is available then in the standard single ended configuration.

PAT 4144-00 Application: 6C33B-C 80 W

PAT4144-00.pdf
 
Like the 300B, the Russian made 6C33B-C tube is also popular. In Push Pull configuration they can handle 80 Watts. Primary impedance is 152 Ohms. The secondary impedances are 4 Ohms, 6 Ohms, and 8 Ohms. The frequency range extends up to 107 kHz without any feedback, while the power bandwidth starts at 14 Hz.

PAT 4148-00 Application: EL34 40 W

PAT4148-00.pdf
 
This Push Pull output transformer is designed specially for speakers with impedances of 8 Ohms and 16 Ohms. The frequency range extends up to 84 kHz. Power bandwidth starts at 14 Hz. Primary impedance is 4300 Ohms. Pentode configuration, as well as Ultra Linear (at 40 % taps) and triode configurations are possible. This design has a special mild high frequency roll-off (Q = 0.4 is below critical damping) in which negative feedback will cause no transformer instabilities.

PAT4143-00 Application: EL84 40 W

PAT4143-00.pdf
 
This transformer is specially designed for guitar amplifiers with four EL84 power tubes. This is a 40 W Push Pull parallel configuration with 90 W maximum output power, providing the large overload headroom essential for guitar amplifiers. The power bandwidth starts at 29 Hz and extends up to 54 kHz. On the secondary side series parallel speaker impedances from 2 Ohms, up to 4Ohms and 8 Ohms are possible. The design is optimized for the nice warm overload sound of EL84 tubes in pentode configuration

PAT4151-00 Application: EL84 90 W

PAT4151-00.pdf
 
This transformer is a guitar amplifier push-pull output transformer with a low profile of 4 cm, offering the possibility to use this transformer in single height racks. The internal leakage and capacitance are very low, resulting in a broad bandwidth up to 108 kHz when driven with four EL84 tubes in pentode configuration.Primary impedance is 4 kOhm. The -3dB power frequency is at 90 Hz, making this transformer ideal for rhythm and solo guitars. The secondary impedances are at 2, 4 and 8 Ohms.

PAT4152-00 Application: Solid State 80 W

PAT4152-00.pdf
 
This transformer is designed for solid state amplification in tube-like Push-Pull circuitry. The primary impedance is 310 ohms with asecondary output tap at 5 ohms. Because this transformer will be driven by low imedance transistors or FETs, the frequency range extends to 282 kHz, while the amplifier will be damped with a Q of 0.4. This large damping will prevent any overshoot of the 1 kHz square wave responce, thus creating a very stable sound reproduction, even with difficult impedance speakers, such as electrostatics. This transformer is achallange for new "old fashioned" solid state amplifier designs with outptut transformers. Restudy of the first generation solid state-state amplifiers might show new ways to advanced sound reproduction  with solid-state amplifiers with output transformers. This new wide bandwidth toroidal outptut transformer with be the start of the next generation of amp designs.

PAT4147-00 Application: EL34 100 W

PAT4147-00.pdf
 
This transformer fills the gap in our standard series with a primary impedance of 3500 Ohms. The frequency range is up to 150 kHz without any negative feedback. Power bandwidth starts at 24 Hz. Insertion Loss is extremely low at 0.2 dB while the differential phase distortion remains less than 1 degree up to 100 kHz. This transformer is excellent in clean sound reproduction with low harmonic distortion.

PAT 4140-00 Application: 6550 300 W

PAT4140-00.pdf
 
Imagine six 6550 power tubes together with this transformer delivering 300 W of output power! With a power bandwidth starting at 14 Hz!. This transformer is intended for powerful bass guitar amplification. As well as superb low frequency response, the frequency range extends up to 88 kHz. The bass guitar sound will be clear, strong and powerful - never "muddy". Secondary impedances of 2 Ohms, 4 Ohms and 8 Ohms offer a wide variety of different series parallel speaker connections. A separate primary 40% ultra linear screen winding is included for special stabilized screen grid power supply applications.

PAT 4141-00 Application: 6550 400 W

PAT4141-00.pdf
 
This design is similar to the PAT 4140(above), but only pentode configuration is possible, the secondary impedances are 4 Ohms and 8 Ohms, and the power is 400 W. Primary impedance is 1250 Ohms. Power bandwidth starts at 14 Hz. This will enable eight 6550s, KT88s or equivalent tubes to be used with an anode voltage of 560 Volts. The frequency range extends up to 117 kHz without feedback. This full range transformer provides clear bass guitar sounds like attacks, slaps, etc.

PAT 4000-00 Tube Application: EL84 20 W

PAT4000-00.pdf

Primary impedance is 8 kOhms and the secondary impedance is 5 Ohms. The -3dB frequency range is up to 131 kHz offering excellent application of this transformer in a medium power push pull amplifier.

PAT 4146-00 Application: EL34 150 W

PAT4146-00.pdf
 
This high power Push Pull output transformer, with a primary impedance of 2.2 kOhms and a secondary impedance of 8 Ohms with center tap (cathode feedback) and with 43 % Utra Linear taps, is intended for six EL34 or KT66 or 6L6 tubes at moderately high voltages (between 350 and 450 Volts). The -3dB (1 W) bandwidth is from 0.6Hz to 118 kHz while the -3dB power bandwidth starts at 15 Hz, allowing this transformer to be used in applications where full and strong bass response is essential.

PAT 4149-00 Application: 211 150 W

PAT4149-00.pdf
 
This transformer is specially designed for two 211 or Svetlana SV572 triodes in Push Pull configuration, grid driven into the positive cathode-grid voltage region. The primary impedance is 8 kOhm. The anode voltage should be at 1200 Volt. Power bandwidth starts at 14 Hz and a -3dB (1W) frequency range up to 41 kHz, all without applying negative local or overall feedback. Secondary impedances of 4 Ohms, 8 Ohms or 16 Ohms are included as well as a separate center tapped 64 Ohm feedback winding.
