Hi guys.

Forgive me for being a little confussed. (Dumb) In the part listing for the preamp it specifies 12v + 12v output transformer but in the purchase page the transformer is specufied as 15v + 15v output.

Which one is it or doesn't it matter and either will do the job?

Cheers
Ian

The Kookaburra has onboard voltage regulators, so either will work. We picked the 15V+15V to stock as it will fit the bill for the most applications.

Thanks for that Brian. I thought that might be the case with the regulators etc but thought it would be better to regulate down than have to pull up the voltage so I'll look for a 15volt xformer.

Now I just need to figure out the loop on the Darwin selector and I will be right.

Quote: signal->darwin inputs 1, 2 ,3...->darwin's loop output->kookaburra input-->kook output->Darwin's loop input-> darwin outs: 1 for crossover's signal input and 2 for direct preamp out, choosing with darwin's own output selector.

Doe's this sound right?

Regards Ian.

Hi Ian a, 12VAC trafo when rectified will get you something like 16-17VDC which will regulate down to 12V just fine. :) So 12V or 15V is just fine. :)

That looks right.
