Boasting a sophisticated electrical design, the ST-7 utilises high-quality internal wires and gold-plated terminals for optimum signal transmission. The unique sandwich winding structure of this transformer significantly improves the high-frequency response, resulting in a clear and open sound across the entire frequency range. Furthermore, the dual-mono design and individual shielding of the two channels enhance the imaging and minimize the impact of external noise.
Compatible with a wide range of cartridges, the ST-7 is particularly well-suited for the Ortofon MC Quintet Series and SPU Classic models. If you find yourself struggling with distortion or are uncomfortable with the amount of gain in your current system, this step-up transformer is the perfect solution. By boosting the signal from an MC cartridge to the level of an MM cartridge, you can achieve a louder signal without risking distortion.
Features
- Compact and stylish
- Sandwich winding structure
- Permalloy shielding housing for the left and right channels separately
ST-7 - a versatile MC transformer from Ortofon
Additionally, the dual-mono design, including the individual shielding of the two channels, improves the imaging of the transformer and reduces the influence of environmental noise.
The ST-7 transformer will be a perfect match for, among other MC cartridges, the MC Quintet Series, the SPU Classic models and SPU #1 models.
"If you're struggling with distortion or aren't comfortable with the amount of gain you're employing in your system then a Step-Up transformer might be what you need. Boosting the signal from an MC cartridge to the level of an MM cartridge gives you a louder signal without needing to boost it via your amp, and therefore risking distortion to your musical signal."
