Glensound GS‑ET02 Twin Channel Audio Transformer Isolation

Glensound GS-ET02 is a portable twin channel audio transformer isolator with earth lift and centre tap switching to eliminate hum and noise between audio devices.

The Glensound GS-ET02 Twin Channel Audio Transformer Isolation unit is a portable two-channel line-level isolator designed to solve ground loop hum and noise problems in professional broadcast and live sound systems. Originally developed for demanding outside broadcast customers, it uses high quality Lundahl transformers and flexible grounding options to provide clean, quiet audio where cheaper DI boxes have failed.

Each channel provides transformer isolation between the input and output, with an input earth lift switch to break ground loops. A unique centre tap switch allows the transformer core to be referenced either to the input ground, the output ground, or left floating, giving engineers a powerful way to optimise common mode rejection and minimise interference in difficult environments. The GS‑ET02 offers very good line balance, excellent common mode rejection and extremely low distortion, with a clip point above +28 dBu and insertion loss of typically less than 0.2 dB at 1 kHz.

  • Portable twin audio channel isolating transformer for line-level signals
  • High quality Lundahl audio transformers for low distortion and wide bandwidth
  • Input earth lift switch to break troublesome ground loops
  • Unique centre tap switch to connect transformer core to input ground, output ground or neither
  • Excellent common mode rejection and very good line balance for noisy environments
  • Ideal for reducing hum and buzz at outside broadcasts, events and complex studio installs
  • Robust, lightweight aluminium chassis suitable for field and rack use

Glensound GS-ET02 is an ideal companion for portable mixers, commentary units and stage boxes that need reliable transformer isolation to maintain audio quality across shared or uncertain power and grounding systems.
