Pro-Ject MC Step-Up Box DS3 B Step-Up Transformer

Pro-Ject MC Step-Up Box DS3 B Step-Up Transformer Passive dual-mono SUT for low-output moving coil cartridges, with XLR and RCA inputs Low output MC cartridges send an output that’s about a tenth the output of MM cartridges. This means they require a specialty phonostage with more gain and different electrical parameters… unless you add a step-up transformer to prep the signal for your MM phono stage! The MC Step-Up Box DS3 B works very differently from a phono preamplifier. The windings ratio of the transformer determines the gain factor. As it’s a passive device that doesn’t require a power supply, no additional power can be produced. The increase in voltage is achieved through a corresponding decrease in current. As there is no amplification, the MC Step-Up Box DS3 B is remarkably low in noise and distortion with a lively, dynamic and natural sonic signature. It offers both balanced and single-ended inputs and outputs and uses high-quality Lundahl LL 1678 audio transformers to prese
