Main Features

The front panel is made of a 10mm-thick aluminum slant panel, a 1.2mm-thick copper-plated steel chassis base, and a 1.6mm-thick copper-plated steel cover to form a tough chassis structure, with stainless steel non-magnetic screws used for assembly to ensure rigidity and reduce magnetic distortion.

The transformer itself is floating from the main body with high-damping rubber material to prevent propagation of external vibrations.

Electrically, magnetic shielding material is placed near the transformer to reduce external induced hum and magnetic distortion.

Input section compatible with phono balanced transmission

MC step-up transformer with a special split-winding structure developed in-house

A proprietary special split-winding structure is employed in the winding structure: low-loss ultra-thick copper wires are wound around a large EI core made of 0.2mm-thick 78% Permalloy material to achieve excellent frequency response and phase characteristics over a wide bandwidth.

This has achieved high low frequency linearity and high efficiency boosting (low loss) and reduced phase distortion within the audible bandwidth, resulting in a detailed spatial expression full of vitality and clearer sound image localization over the entire frequency range.

Adoption of High Quality Sound Components

Machined gold-plated terminals are used for input and output terminals.

Caution

Only one of XLR or RCA can be used for input. Simultaneous connection to both may cause noise.

This unit is designed for balanced connection with 2-core shielded wires.

For balanced connection of XLR and RCA terminals, compatible phono cables are required.
