The impedance of the ribbon/motor is the starting point. The transformer ratio squared becomes a multiplier that determines the resulting impedance for the mic as a whole. Unfortunately, I have no idea what the ratio is in the original transformer on these mics, nor do I know the resistance of the ribbon itself, so I have no basis for making any theoretical predictions for this transformer swap. I tried it because a great many people had reported such success with it. But in this case at least, it didn't work out well.
