So im trying to hookup an edcor xs1100 as an input transformer for my class D amplifier im building.

Its not working correctly and I cant figure out what im doing wrong.  I first hooked it up like this picture: http://www.edcorusa.com/Images/Products/SCM/XS1100.png

When i did it like that i only get a very low faint sound, like its wired out of phase.

Then i tried to hook it up like this pic:  http://purusha.smokinggunrecording.com/MEQ5/XS1100%20Specification%20sheet.pdf

Then i got a big hum.

Has anyone used this transformer on an input, that would be willing to help me figure out how to hook up the damn thing?

Does pin12 = transformer shield need to be hooked up to anything?

I had the same problem some days ago while trying to hook up XS1100 as output transformer in my G9. http://www.groupdiy.com/index.php?topic=17980.640

There's two different documents regarding the pins phasing information on the Edcor XS1100. No one answered my question and I have not tried my G9 yet så i don't know if i did it correct but i went with the second document suspecting that Edcor has wrong information here: http://www.edcorusa.com/Images/Products/SCM/XS1100.png

The shield should be connected to ground. Are you sure you had it from "bottom view" when you located the pins so that pin 12 (shield) did not end up at pin 1 or something?
 
Thanks!
The strange this is that i also tried with an wsm 10k/10k transformer on the input and that didnt work either.

Unbalanced works fine, so the amp is working atleast.

Im not sure what im doing wrong here. Ive tried to hook up the transformers every possible way i can image now.

Sounds like broken transformers? Have you tried if the transformers pass audio out of the circuit? You could also try using only one winding at a time (one primary + one secondary), if you are unsure of the phase info.
