Step up the performance of your moving-coil phono cartridge with the Quadratic Audio MC-1 step-up transformer. Dedicated to passively increasing the delicate low-level signal of your MC cartridge so it works in concert with your phonostage, MC-1 operates with exceptional clarity, musicality, accuracy, and responsiveness. Designed by Pass Labs and Cary Audio veteran Jam Somasundram in conjunction with CineMag, which has been manufacturing transformers for nearly five decades.

The MC-1 inherently rejects hum and radio-frequency interference. Inside, a Faraday shield, hydrogen-annealed laminations, and PCB-mounted transformers isolated in a steel enclosure are a few of the high-end touches that account for its audiophile-grade pedigree.

“If you like the transformer approach to vinyl, this is the most musical and most revealing one we’ve yet heard. It’s at the top of the chart at $1,795, but from what we’ve heard so far, worth every dollar.”
—TONE Audio

Note: we have a demo MC-1 available for the Netherlands. This can be listened to at home. Ask for the conditions.

Review of the Quadratic MC-1 in the Dutch audio magazine 'Luister'

That we are not alone in our opinion that the Quadratic MC-1 transformer is a top product is shown by the review of this special step-up in the Dutch audio magazine 'Luister'.

Quadratic Audio MC-1
The Quadratic Audio MC-1 is the product of the evolution of transformer based “Head-Units” for phono stages.
It takes the low level signal from Moving Coil cartridges and passively increases the level to be compatible with standard phonograph pre-amplifiers.
