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 is the solution. Key Features: Lundahl LL1678 high quality audio transformer Balanced in- and outputs Fully passive signal path without power supply 1:16 or 1:32 selectable transformer ratio Superior sound quality Transformer with mu metal shielding Dual mono design principle Low noise Highest channel separation Gold-plated RCA terminals Solid aluminium casing protects against interference Available in silver or black
