AUTOFORMERS
Autoformers, or autotransformers as they’re often called, perform similarly to transformers but with certain
distinct advantages. First, they exhibit inherently lower distortion and lower insertion loss than an
equivalent rated transformer. Second, they are less prone to magnetic core saturation than a transformer,
providing better linearity under peak operating conditions. Lastly, they can be manufactured to a greater
level of precision than that of a transformer at a similar or lower cost. For these reasons, WET II
loudspeakers have been designed to use autoformers rather than transformers, when equipped for
70.7V/100V constant voltage applications.
