Description
The Ikeda IST-201 MC Step-Up transformer delivers exceptional performance for low-impedance moving coil cartridges operating between 1 and 6 ohms. Engineered with minimal internal loss, this transformer unlocks the full sonic potential of IKEDA’s 9 series and KAI cartridges, as well as compatible third-party designs. The chassis employs MU-Metal shielding and high-conductivity construction to eliminate interference and preserve signal integrity. Premium VISHAY S-102K terminators on the secondary side ensure stable impedance matching across various cable configurations. Rhodium-plated RCA connectors mounted on an insulating plate protect delicate MC signals from environmental noise. A rear-panel floating earth switch provides additional flexibility for system optimization.
