Simplifying Pleiades Filters?


This may not be simpler but it is just another way inspired by looking at the Electro -Voice academy award winning 642 microphone internal 2 position filter.


The filter is connected to the 50Ω output tap of the mic.


So why not when winding one's  own ring core input transformer not include a very few turn (low impedance) winding tap to the primary or secondary. Or even a few turns of a third winding.


So say a 10Ω local output impedance is created.


Then making an inductor cutoff filter would be very easy. A very small inductance is needed for given cutoff. Only s few turns. This filter will be connected in parallel or shunt to the low impedance winding.


And a resistance can be added in series to this external coil for a variable low cut or high pass slope. See improved Pleiades filters.
