Product Details
Product Overview & Specifications
This step-up transformer uses the same high quality cores as used in the MCL, again supplied by Lundahl of Sweden, but features a lower turns ratio than the MCL to accommodate cartridges with higher outputs. The turns ratio of the MCX is 1:10, making it compatible with cartridges with outputs of up to 0.9mV, which includes models from Benz Micro, Clearaudio, Koetsu, Lyra and Van den Hul. It features very wide bandwidth, low distortion and carefully designed primary and secondary loading networks to optimise the performance and give beautifully reproduced transients, free from ringing. The core materials and winding techniques employed in the manufacture are unsurpassed and feature multiple primary and secondary windings configured to cancel hum pickup from external sources as well as minimise inter-winding capacitance and maximise bandwidth. The step-up ratio of 1:10 makes the MCX is compatible with a large selection of moving coil cartridges available today from makers such as Benz Micro, Clearaudio, Lyra, Koetsu, Ortofon, Audio Technica etc.
Step-up transformers explained
The whole topic of step-up transformers, impedance matching, cartridge compatibility etc. can seem quite baffling, though it doesnt have to be as complicated as is sometimes claimed. Our useful guide to the topic of impedances, transformer ratios and matching, moving coil step-up transformers explained, gives accessible but detailed information on the subject, along with example calculations and a useful table of cartridge data for guidance in assessing compatibility.
