True North is a fully passive stereo processor built around a pair of Hammond 1140-LU-B transformers.
The transformers transfer audio through magnetic coupling, providing galvanic isolation while introducing subtle level- and frequency-dependent behavior. Depending on the source, load, and operating level, this may be perceived as added texture, softened transients, and a slightly fuller tonal balance.
With no active electronics, digital processing, or external power supply, True North offers a simple way to explore transformer character on individual tracks, stereo buses, and complete mixes.
Hand-built and tested in Iowa by Analog Prairie.
Specifications:
Transformer Ratio 1:1
Impedance: 600:600 ohms
Inputs: 2x Balanced XLR
Outputs: 2x Balanced XLR
