6495 Frequency Response
APPLICATION For matching a range of low impedance (3-100 ohm) moving coil Phono cartridges to balanced or single sided solid state or valve pre-amplifier. Ensures appropriate loading of the cartridge and correct matching to pre-amplifier. Ideal for use with low or medium impedance cartridges provided the output voltage and pre-amplifier gain is adequate for a 1:10 ratio. Two transformers are required for a stereo system.
FEATURES Ultra thin (0.0035 in) "gapless" Mumetal (76%Nickel) laminated core for minimal harmonic distortion and exceptional bandwidth. 4 separate electrostatic screens for rejection of hum and noise in the cable connecting between the cartridge and transformer. Multiple interleaved windings ensuring exceptionally good bandwidth. The high bandwidth and very low phase shift ensures excellent transient response. Mumetal can for magnetic shielding. Available with colour coded leads or international octal plug for a small extra charge.
RATIO 1:10
TOTAL HARMONIC DISTORTION (THD) at 20 Hz (6 ohm source) Typical 0.05%
FREQUENCY RESPONSE 8 Ohm source 100K ohm load +/- 0.5 dB 5 Hz to 60 kHz
NOTE The cartridge should be connected to the White and Yellow leads. The amplifier should be connected to the Pink and Mauve leads. The Black (ground) lead is normally connected to the signal ground of the amplifier. You may need to experiment with different ground connection points to minimize hum.
