AUDIO TEKNE MCT-4818

Second-hand. In good conditions. Shows signs of wear as seen in the photos. Comes with original packaging.

The MCT-4818 is a step-up transformer for MC cartridges designed to ensure the highest fidelity in sound reproduction, respecting the extremely delicate nature of the signal generated by these cartridges. When such a tiny signal passes through non-optimized components, the sound quality can easily be compromised, resulting in an unnatural sound that is far from what was originally recorded. The MCT-4818 is specifically designed to solve this problem, offering a precise, natural sound response with no coloration.

External interference, such as electromagnetic waves and mechanical vibrations, negatively affects the signal quality of MC cartridges. To counter these effects, the MCT-4818 features sophisticated triple-layer Super Permalloy shielding, capable of protecting the transformer from electromagnetic interference. Additionally, the composite carbon material casing effectively combats mechanical vibrations, helping to preserve the purity of the sound.

This model is directly derived from the prestigious MCT-9401 and shares its advanced technical approach. It uses a Super Permalloy core combined with a special winding technology, developed to provide precise and linear gain with extremely low distortion. The result is natural sound reproduction, rich in detail and realism, without artifices or exaggerations.

At first listen, the extension of high frequencies may seem less pronounced compared to other products. However, with prolonged use, the sound quality clearly emerges: free from distortion, balanced, and authentic, faithfully conveying the full musical truth of the record.

The MCT-4818 is the ideal choice for those who want to fully enhance the potential of their MC cartridge, maintaining the purity of the signal and the integrity of the original recording.
