Reverb Pan impedance converted into ohms.... Music Man pan?

Postby crispycircuit » Fri Jun 27, 2008 6:51 pm

I have 10 old reverb pans and I'm hoping to find the one I need?? LOL.... So if I measure 1 ohm on the input what would that convert to in impedance. I have several that measure 168 ohms, some 8ohms... Does anybody have conversion from Ohms to impedance for reverb pans......

Hi,

Impedance on reverb pans are measured at 1KHz, not DC.

Are they Accutronics types, or have a number that can be traced?

Cheers!

Still not sure how to do this? I have a signal generator. ... Why can't I get a ball park figure with DC ohms. I have the chart of pan impedances. I would think someone would have done converted these before? Any thoughts?

I found a Traynor YRM-1 schematic. It uses both side of a 12ax7 to drive the pan (cap coupled). The is 4FB2B1B which is a Long 16" 2 spring, with 1,475 ohm input and 2,250 ohm output, med delay, input grounded, output insulated, horizontal mount. But the cool part is? They have note saying "DC resistance of input & output is approximately 180 ohm". It would be nice to know other impedance reading for quick info on what the pan is...
