PRESS RELEASE FROM "THE JOHN HARDY COMPANY"
I am pleased to announce that The John Hardy Company is now manufacturing the model 16C mic input transformer and 11C line output transformer. These transformers are now being used in the M-1, M-2 and Jensen Twin Servo 990 Mic Preamps of The John Hardy Company. The 16C and 11C replace the Jensen JT-16-B and JT-11-BM transformers respectively. The 16C and 11C are built to the exact specifications of the Jensen models.
The John Hardy Company experienced long delivery delays from Jensen Transformers that started in June of 2012 and lasted for a year. There were more delays in 2018, 2020 and beyond. The ownership of Jensen Transformers, Inc., has changed hands twice since 2014. In late 2023 they moved their entire operation from Chatsworth, California to Vancouver, British Columbia. It was time to make my own transformers right here at The John Hardy Company to eliminate costly delays and to guarantee the highest quality.
