This is a passive, low-noise design tailored for serious analog systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt its core is Phasemation’s original split-winding transformer architecture: low-loss, ultra-thick copper windings on a large EI core. The result is outstanding wide-band frequency and phase characteristics with strong bass linearity and clear spatial imaging across the audible range. Gain is fixed at 26 dB.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompared to the T-550, the T-320 is more compact and includes a front-panel bypass switch for MM use, but does not offer balanced inputs or the same level of vibration and hum suppression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWho Needs a SUT?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you have a low-output moving coil cartridge, a step-up transformer allows you to passively increase the output of the cartridge, letting you use a moving magnet input on a phonostage, which has far less active gain, and therefore far less chance to magnify noise. A SUT has to be very carefully matched to your cartridge, so make sure you talk to our analog team before buying one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOptimum Cartridge Output Impedance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.5–40 Ω\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLoad Impedance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 47 kΩ\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGain:\u003c\/strong\u003e 26 dB\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency Response (+\/-2 dB):\u003c\/strong\u003e 10 Hz–50 kHz\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInput \/ Output Terminals:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gold-plated RCA\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions (WHD):\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.47\" x 3.62\" x 5.28\" (139 x 92 x 134 mm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.87 lb.
