MC Step Up Box S3
Step-Up Transformers
(Made In Europe)
(Pre-order)

Overview

Step-Up transformers do not need external power as they work completely passive and bring the low output of a MC cartridge nearly noise free to MM level. The signal stays clean, with less harmonic distortion, compared to a usual MC phono stage. MC Step Up Box S3 is our compact solution with dual mono design principle and gold plated RCA termionals, allowing two cartridge impedance range settings at the back. MC Step Up DS3 B is our premium solution using high quality Lundahl LL 1678 audio transformers and offers single-ended as well as balanced in- and outputs for an optimum signal transmission.

SOUND UPGRADE FOR YOUR MC CARTRIDGE
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 S3 is the solution.

Lively, dynamic & natural
The MC Step Up Box S3 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, no extra power can be produced. The increase in voltage is achieved by a coresponding decrease is current. As there is no amplification, the MC Step Up Box S3 has a remarkable noise performance and a very low level of distortion. The sound with a Step-Up Transformer will be more lively, dynamic and natural.
