AUTOFORMERS
Autoformers, or a
utotransformers
as they’re often called, perform similarly to transformers but with certain
distinct advantages. First, they exhibit inherently lower distortion and lower insertion loss than an equivalent
rated transformer. Second, they are less prone to magnetic core saturation than a transformer, providing better
linearity under peak operating conditions. Lastly, they can be manufactured to a greater level of precision than
that of a transformer at a similar or lower cost. For these reasons, WET Series II loudspeakers have been
designed to use autoformers rather than transformers, when equipped for 70.7V/100V constant voltage
applications.
