The calculation
n = Nsecondary / Nprimary Gain = 20 log₁₀(n) Rreflected = Rload / n² Vout = Vin × n × Rreflected / (Rsource + Rreflected)
Assumptions & limits
Ideal transformer and resistive source/load at the specified frequency. Winding losses, inductance, capacitance, bandwidth and phono-stage overload are excluded.
