The transformer


Toroidal transformers
all Studer A68, Revox A740 and Revox B740
Why do Revox transformers tend to hum?Well, many amplifiers from other manufacturers don't even get old enough for the transformers to start humming!The amplifiers Studer A68, Revox A740, and Revox B740 are partly over 50 years old.The cut-band transformers used by Revox are excellent for audio applications. However, toroidal transformers are still the better choice in the audio field. Toroidal transformers offer comparatively high efficiency, which is especially important here, while being compact and producing a very low stray field. Whatever the reason for the humming of transformers, we can help!

Here, too, the old transformer of the Studer A68 or Revox A740, B740 power amplifiers must first be removed.
CAUTION! Unplug before opening!

Comparison


The old transformer is also a real beast!
Both transformers are suitable as additional weights for sports equipment, but they're too expensive and a waste for that purpose! The weight and size are roughly the same. At 850 VA, they provide plenty of power.

for the central fastening of the transformer.
Since there is very little clearance in the Revox A740 or B740 as well as in the Studer A68, you should determine the exact position with the transformer and mark the position of the drill hole.

With 850 VA power, everything has to be right!

That's why we carry out the work exclusively in-house. Our specialists are trained and knowledgeable about the subject matter.

Secondary voltage

In order not to make it too easy, Revox has dug deep into its bag of tricks and comically nested the tension.
Attention! Anything above 42 V is no longer considered low voltage!

Documenting the changes and the work that needs to be done is also very important for us in-house!
It is easy to confuse red with red, brown with brown, blue with blue and so on.
