Moving Coil Input Transformer
LL9226
LL9226 is an MC transformer based on (and pin compatible with) our classic LL9206, but with reduced copper
resistance and level capability. The new design has resulted in an even better frequency response but still with
enough no load impedance to maintain the LF bandwidth. The transformer is built up from two coils, each coil
with one secondary winding surrounded by two primary windings. Advantages with this structure are excellent
frequency response and high immunity to surrounding magnetic fields. All winding ends are available on the
pins. Thus, the transformer can be used with a set of different turns ratios.
The LL9226 core is our cobalt based uncut amorphous strip core. The transformer is housed in a mu metal can.

Application hint:
As the LL9226 does not have
Faraday shields, both sides of
the transformer should have a
common ground reference.
