Indola Colour Transformer, 500 ml

Product Information

Finally, there is the direct current (DC) power wire colours, commonly featured in solar and battery power systems. Such forms of wiring are commonly found within domestic and office environments. Systems featuring a single phase at a relatively high voltage should have orange wiring in reference to the high-leg connection. However, such high-leg systems are not typically found in modern electrical installations.

Since transformers react to signal level, in all my transformer projects, I add switches so I can manually change the primary windings for either 1:1 or 4:1 ratios. With the 4:1 ratio, you’ll have about 6dB of gain and some additional saturation. Technically speaking, in one setting, the primary is wired at 600-ohms, and with the switch flipped, the primary becomes 150-ohms. You can see that in more detail in the project schematics included with the link to them at the end of this article. Left) An audio signal applied to the primary winding is transferred to the secondary winding in an audio transformer. (Right) A large Hammond brand audio transformer. Actual size, about 4 x 3 x 2 inches. This may be one of the most detailed versions of Optimus Prime we’ve seen yet! This is another picture that really captures how cool of a character he is. We love the pose and design of this next Transformer! This character has a more light-hearted feel to their design, and they have a big smile even as they brace themselves for battle.

This picture makes this character look really powerful and formidable. If you recognize him from the series, you could use the colors he has there or again give him a unique look if you prefer! This is definitely one where we would recommend using some colored pens on, as this is a medium that lets you color smaller details with precision. Of course, you can leave the switches out and wire them for either 600-ohm or 1:1 ratio or at 4:1 with 150-ohm primaries for about 6dB of gain and more saturation and color. Also known as a “winding” of electrical wire around a transformer core. A transformer can have many individual windings for the output of different voltages and/or various impedances for matching to external equipment. The number of turns or wraps of wire determines the impedance of the winding. A winding can also have “taps” where points along the winding are brought out separately. The ratio of primary windings to secondary windings also defines the gain of the transformer. One of the design goals of modern audio amplifiers and other hardware processors is purity and zero distortion. Pristine sound is a laudable goal especially when the desire is to preserve and archive audio for mastering without adding noise or harmonic distortion. However, often music creators are looking for a more colorful sound only possible with the saturation artifacts of analog amplifiers and processors.

In transformers, the magnetization of ferromagnetic substances (the core) due to a varying magnetic field lags behind the field. This type of hysteresis creates harmonic distortion similar to analog tape. Somewhat like compression, a near-saturated transformer gives a mix some glue and air, an indescribable filling in of sonic gaps for a more cohesive sound with more character and density. I sometimes run mixes through transformers at unity with no increase in level or saturation just for some of that analog glue. Details like these can be intimidating to take on, but don’t be afraid to really take your time and have fun with it! Get ready to color the brave leader of the Autobots, Optimus Prime! He is standing tall and proud in front of a futuristic city on his home planet of Cybertron. This character is looking very noble and tough, and if you look closely you can see the car origins that they started out with.

The leader of the evil Decepticons, Megatron, is ready to cause chaos. Color his armor dark greys and silvers with hints of purple. Give him bright, glowing red eyes and a sneering expression. Initially, Transformers was created as a toy by Hasbro, which later developed into an animated series and a movie. It gained worldwide popularity due to its unique style, vivid characters, and stunning visual effects. This animated series is not just a science fiction action movie, but also has strong human concerns and profound philosophical thinking, which have resonated with audiences worldwide and inspired deep thinking.
