The Jensen JT-115K-E, JT-110K-HPC, and JT-13K7-A are all excellent choices for Tube microphone preamp applications. The step-up ratios of 1 to 10, 1 to 8, and 1 to 5 respectively provide excellent performance when interfaced to the relatively noisy inputs of vacuum tubes. The JT-115K-Eand JT-110K-HPC with their higher step-up ratios are ideal for no feedback preamp designs intended to add “tube warmth” to the microphone input signal. The JT-13K7-A offers the best low frequency response and lowest distortion of the 3 models and is the best choice for designers trying to achieve high accuracy and transparency in their preamp design.
