Hi,
I'm doing a bit of searching on how to build a ring modulator as an audio effect. It looks like I'm gonna need a transformer (2 actually) and I've never used one before.
I read that transformers can only be used with AC. DC would damage the transformer. So what does that mean in case I want to feed it a square wave? as the period increases, the more this would look like DC right? If that is an issue, Is there something in the transformer specs that I could look for to determine the maximum period I should limit my input signal?
Also, does using bipolar vs unipolar signal make any difference with a transformer?
Thank you.
