If you want to build your DIY500 module as a dedicated line-level preamplifier (commonly referred to as a "line amp" or "line driver"), you'd use a line input transformer instead of a microphone input transformer. The table below lists your choices.

The designations R7, C2, and R8 refer to termination components connected across the transformer secondary, as shown in the DIY500 schematic. R8 provides loading, and R7+C2 comprise a zobel network, when necessary.

A box containing ------ means leave that component out.
A box left blank means we don't have that information yet.
When in doubt, leave the component out.
