From the seller

Rare stereo pair of huge heavy vintage 50s era UTC transformer 1:1 repeat coils, full range 20 to 20K. Use them to add authentic solid vintage analog mojo to your mix bus and other sources. Great on drum bus too, overheads, amps, etc. The stereo pair is 2 completely independent dual mono transformers, so you can use them on 2 different mono sources at same time if desired with no crosstalk, such as kick and snare, or bass di and miced speaker if tracking bass, etc. Housed and wired in a large desktop box (approx 8x8x8) with rubber cushioned feet, black metal neutrik german XLR's, balanced internal wiring. The transformers are so big the only way they fit the box top is sideways. Compared to we 111c, they are more solid sounding have better transient response so are more tight and punchy in the lows, and finer in respolution for more detailed highs. 111c are more mellow, ie slower softer more laid back in tone and dynamics, fine for the 40s era telephone lines they were designed for, but leans a bit on the soft side for modern music, the utc are better that way as they are more focused and solid in the low end, more detailed in the highs, handling modern style faster transients and overall dynamics better while still adding thick solid vintage color. They are wired 1:1 ratio to use anywhere in line level signal chains...ie on buses, after preamps, before/after compressors & eq's to beef them up, between any line level gear, etc. While tracking or after. Totally passive, no power needed. Picture of the unit is actually the rear jack view shown (when turned around jacks are on back for clean cable runs). Looks same from front just no jacks. USES: mix bus glue, adds punch, depth, weight and real analog harmonic color for use on mix bus, stems, tracks, inserts, after preamps and any other line level gear such as before or after compressors, effects, synths, analog keyboards, samplers, drum machines, while tracking or in post production etc to fatten then up and smooth out transients over the whole tonal range very effectively gluing things in place. Makes mixing easier, less need for compression and eq. Passive, no power needed. Solidly built with german made XLR's and internal shielded wire.
