Trace ElliotTransformer DI Pedal Green
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Trace Elliot’s green Transformer DI is a transformer-based line-signal interface for converting between balanced and unbalanced connections. It is built around a proprietary Ni-Fe-core transformer, with a stated 20Hz–20kHz response and low harmonic distortion across 70Hz–80kHz. The ground lift with RF rejection addresses hum and radio-frequency interference in more involved signal paths. With input handling up to +22.2dBu and more than 5,000V isolation between windings, it suits studio, live, and broadcast signal routing where clean transfer and electrical separation matter.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Balancing or unbalancing low- to mid-impedance line sources in a studio signal path.
- Live or studio setups where ground-loop hum or RF interference needs attention.
- Broadcast, recording, or touring rigs requiring electrical isolation between connected equipment.
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Less than 0.015% harmonic distortion, 70Hz–80kHz
The stated distortion figure covers a range extending beyond the quoted frequency-response band.
Detail 03
Input level up to +22.2dBu
Provides headroom for the stated high-level input signals.
Detail 04
Ground lift with RF rejection
Offers a switchable way to address ground-related noise while rejecting radio-frequency interference.
Detail 05
More than 5,000V electrical isolation
Separates the transformer’s primary and secondary windings electrically.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Plan for a low- to mid-impedance signal source when using the stated input-level capability.
- 02The pedal is intended for line-signal conversion between balanced and unbalanced connections.
