AN-S3 MOVING COIL STEP UP TRANSFORMER The AN-S3 is a passive device, designed to convert the mainly current output of your Moving Coil cartridge (MC) to a higher voltage, low current signal of sufficient strength to allow a Moving Magnet (MM) phonostage to amplify it to a suitable level. The internal transformers used in the AN-S3 are manufactured by Audio Note (UK) exclusively. Each transformer is made from 0.1mm laminated super mumetal 250 and wound with 99.99% pure copper wire.
INSTALLATION AND OPERATION Position the AN-S3 in a suitable location, close your turntable and phonostage input. It is important to remember that the Step Up Transformers inside the AN-S3 are highly susceptible to noise created by power supplies, mains cables etc.
