Description
Sound upgrade for your MC cartridge
Step-up transformers were standard in high end phono
setups, but forgotten at some time due to the price of
transformers. The output level of MC cartridges is very
low, compared to a MM (Moving Magnet) one it is about
10x lower, which means, you need a special phono amplifier. A higher gain is needed to utilize the signals, which
can result in a higher noise level and distortion. The MC
Step Up Box DS3 B works very differently compared to a
phono preamplifier. The windings ratio of the transformer
determines the gain factor. As it works completely passive and no external power is needed.
