Moving Coil Step-up Transformers

OEP’s Moving Coil Step-up / Phono Cartridge Transformers are an integral part of OEP’s specialised Audio transformer range.

These Step-up Moving Coil Transformers (SUT) match low-output, low impedance moving-coil pickups to standard phono pre-amps. Harmonic distortion, in Moving Coil Transformers, is most pronounced at lower frequencies and diminishes rapidly with increasing frequency. In contrast, transistor amplifiers typically exhibit distortion that rises alongside frequency. Consequently, while transformers may not be entirely free from distortion, the distortion they introduce is considerably less pronounced compared to that produced by many transistor amplifiers.
