A “premium” step-up transformer with double monophonic architecture intended for moving coil (MC) cartridges, which exhibits very low noise and distortion levels, which in turn results in a more dynamic and natural sound.
To achieve this objective, its interior houses two LL1678 transformers signed by the very purist Swedish firm Lundahl with a transformation ratio that can be selected between 24 dB or 30 dB with the simple press of a button.
To this we must add a functionality that Pro-Ject is incorporating in a growing number of its models related to the playback of vinyl records: the balanced connection, as indicated by the “B” in its name, materialized in the presence of inputs and outputs with XLR connectors.
In this way, the MC Step Up Box DS3 B, whose elegant design and robust construction make it a product to last a lifetime, benefits not only from additional noise reduction, but also from interference-free signal transmission. .
