STEPUP MC Transformer 

 

 

Operation 

 
The StepUp installs between your MC cartridge and your MM phonostage. Be sure to 
connect turntable ground!  

 
GAIN is in three steps, low, medium, and high. Transformer loading is preset for 

optimized transient response at each GAIN setting. This is with LOADING set to 
maximum (large dot). The loading as seen by the cartridge can be lowered further 

using the LOADING control. Adjust by ear for best sonic performance. The following 
table gives the resistive loadings for the various setting combinations.
