What is the difference between electronic balancing and transformer balancing?
Transformer balancing always provides galvanic isolation, so as to guarantee reliable isolation of the ground connections of the various devices. This is not the case with electronic balancing. In addition, with appropriate wiring it is always possible to use transformer-balanced inputs and outputs for unbalanced operation. In the case of electronic balancing, this can lead to level reduction. However, it should also be pointed out that only a high-quality audio transformer is able to maintain the sound quality in this situation. For this reason, Palmer manufactures all required transformers itself at its own facilities.
