I'm right now trying to find a 1:5 mike transformer with good electrostatic
shielding. The customer's budget won't accept the Lundahl, and we can't meet
the quantities for the Tamura. The Edcor sounds find but isn't shielded at all.
Trying to hit about $20 in 100 quantities.

What about this: https://au.rs-online.com/web/p/products/1237209/
....with this screening can: https://au.rs-online.com/web/p/audio...rmers/2106469/

As a learning project, I've been experimenting with the jfet preamp from Tapeop issue 37 (https://web.archive.org/web/20170831...-jfet-mic-pre/) using this transformer and can, and it sounds good to me. Maybe a little lacking in the bottom-end, but I'm still experimenting/debugging.

OEP have lots of transformers and prices seem reasonable: https://au.rs-online.com/web/c/power...ons=4294965919
