"Designed by audio legend Tim de Paravicini, the MC 4 is a bit unusual as step-ups go: It has four primaries, accessed via four different sets of taps on its copper-wound transformers. This gives the device four sets of gains and impedances rather than just one, via four pairs of gold-plated RCA input jacks on the rear panel. Each pair of inputs provides a different impedance -- 3, 6, 12, or 40 ohms -- to produce respective outputs of 30x, 24x, 18x, or 10x the input voltage. For example, the MC 4 increases the 0.3mV output of my Ortofon Anniversary SPU cartridge to 9mV (3 ohm tap), 7.2mV (6 ohms), 5.4mV (12 ohms), or 3mV (40 ohms). This makes the MC 4 incredibly flexible, suitable for use with a variety of MC cartridges with various outputs and internal impedances. Apropos of this flexibility, the rear panel has two grounding posts, each isolated from the signal grounds with a pair of 10-ohm resistors." - Positive Feedback
