The history of the Hammond family goes back to 1917 in Canada.

For those interested the link : www.hammondmfg.com/hist.htm will be very enlightening.

In the process of time the Hammonds have evolved into a well-established manufacturing company quite famous for almost all kinds of transformers. At the moment Hammond MFG has become quite popular among audio enthousiasts especially those who favour tube amplification. Hammond MFG of Canada provides an endless variety of products for audio applications : Power/ Interstage/ Output transformers, Choke series, Alum Chassis series.

The company's know-how, as well as the products, is practically unlimited :

power transformers : board mount, vertical, low-profile, epoxy cast, low-voltage/filament, chassis mount, high-current, toroidal

chokes and reactors : DC, low to high current, miniature, RF, EMI/RFI

audio transformers : board mount, potted, epoxy-potted, open-type, chassis mount, shielded, single-ended, push-pull, sound distribution, speaker matching, voice

energy limiting transformers : box mount, plug in

pulse transformers : board and chassis mount

line transformers : isolating, autotransformers, hard wired, plug in

Hammond Manufacturing Group produces output and interstage transformers for valve amplifiers since the '30s. Regardless of what the amplification topology might be, a Single Ended (SE) or an ambitious Push-Pull (PP) circuitry, Hammond provides the right transformer.

The last 75 years the company features a constant process of evolution and improvement, a fact which has been intensified the last years due to the increased popularity of valve audio amplification.

Let's have a close look on their point of view :

It is also true that a lot of discussion has been raised lately in the audiophile web fora on the Hammond product family and their technical 'secrets'. Another extract from the same source is quite interesting :

Apart from the OEM production of transformers for the audio industry, Hammond MFG provides four (4) series of output transformer products for the DIYers, following contemporary circuit design trends :

For Single Ended (SE) topologies :

1627 to 1642 series ( details )

universal 125SE ( details )

For Push-Pull (PP) topologies :

1608 to 1650 series ( details )

universal 125 ( details )

In addition a variety of chokes and power supply transformers are also available (MTZ Audio maintains a stock of a limited number of types of p.s.transformers and chokes but welcomes the order of any type, even at a small quantity) :

power supply series ( details )

choke series ( details  )
