{"product_id":"emt-srx-5-10-step-up-transformer","title":"EMT SRX 5\/10 Step-Up Transformer","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe EMT 5\/10 is a passive step-up transformer built for the low-output moving-coil cartridge — including, and especially, the EMT cartridges themselves — feeding a phono stage that expects a moving-magnet-level signal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTwo ratios are offered on a front-panel switch. The 1:5 ratio provides 14 dB of voltage gain and is the natural match for the higher-output EMT generators. The 1:10 ratio provides 20 dB of voltage gain and is the answer for a lower-output cartridge or a customer running a longer phono cable into the following stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe internal windings are pure 4N silver. The magnetic core is an extremely low-loss material chosen for high resolution and minimal noise contribution — the transformer, in a properly executed passive design, adds nothing that was not in the groove.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGround configuration is a three-position choice: input cold, floating, or centre tap. Load is switchable between EMT and open. Together the two switch banks let the transformer be optimised in the room, cartridge-by-cartridge, without opening the case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHousing is 200 × 160 × 80 mm. The 5\/10 is the mechanically silent front end that sits between a Tondose or JSD cartridge and any phono stage — including the EMT 128 — that is expecting a somewhat hotter input than the raw cartridge provides.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"EMT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48938910220507,"sku":null,"price":10995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1363\/6553\/files\/emt-stx-5-10-1_2.jpg?v=1783137541","url":"https:\/\/almaaudio.com\/products\/emt-srx-5-10-step-up-transformer","provider":"Alma Music and Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
