Rolls Bellari MT502 Step-Up Moving Coil Matching Transformer

If you're seeking superior sound quality from your moving coil cartridge, look no further than the 2019 Bellari MT502 mu, a stereo moving coil step-up transformer. Expertly designed to elevate the low level of a moving coil cartridge to a moving magnet level, this device ensures seamless compatibility with your phono preamp.

Handcrafted in the USA, the MT502 is a testament to Bellari's commitment to sonic perfection and artistry. Unlike many phono preamps that merely boost the gain in the MC setting, the MT502 uses a transformer to optimize the performance of MC cartridges. This approach is a common feature in high-end audio systems, which rely on step-up transformers for the best sound quality.

The MT502 stands out with its selectable turns ratio, eliminating the need to match your cartridge with a step-up transformer. This feature makes the MT502 versatile, capable of matching almost any cartridge with its adjustable turns ratio switch. It's akin to having two step-up transformers in one unit. The 12:1 ratio is designed for cartridges like the Denon DL103 or 103R, while the 30:1 ratio caters to cartridges that require more gain or level.

The "mu" in the MT502 mu signifies Mu Metal, the new metal encasing the 2019 MT502 transformers. Known as one of the best shielding materials, Mu Metal enhances the durability and performance of the transformer. Each transformer is meticulously hand-wound, potted, and encased in Mu Metal before being placed into a gold-plated copper chassis. This painstaking process is carried out by hand, one unit at a time, underscoring Bellari's dedication to quality and precision.

In summary, the Bellari MT502 mu is not just a step-up transformer; it's a game-changer in the realm of audio equipment, designed to bring out the best in your moving coil cartridge.
