Miyajima state that the audio signal does not pass through resistance, and that the MC-1 has no phase shift and almost no frequency limit.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIt is a highly specialised design with excellent bandwidth and a direct signal path, but it comes with important setup requirements. Because it is a one-stage amplifier, the phase is reversed, and correct use depends on independent shielding between tonearm and phono cable. If hum is excessive, Miyajima specifically advise using the MC-2 instead.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e—\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease read the special usage conditions carefully before installation. Both low-impedance and high-impedance cartridges are supported, and Miyajima recommend use with a 50k ohm load impedance amplifier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecs\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 44.6%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 54.5%;\"\u003eMC Head Amplifier\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 44.6%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInput Impedance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 54.5%;\"\u003e60 \/ 94 \/ 150 ohms\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 44.6%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGain\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 54.5%;\"\u003e13.5 dB (about 22.2 times)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 44.6%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOutput Impedance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 54.5%;\"\u003e2.5k ohms\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 44.6%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency Response\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 54.5%;\"\u003e20Hz to 120,000Hz (-2dB)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 44.6%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInput Terminal\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 54.5%;\"\u003eRCA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 44.6%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Cord\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 54.5%;\"\u003eDIN cord (about 2m)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 44.6%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVacuum Tubes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 54.5%;\"\u003e2 × 7586 (exchangeable to 6922 with voltage switching)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 44.6%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMain Unit Size\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 54.5%;\"\u003eW75 × H155 × D200 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 44.6%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMain Unit Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 54.5%;\"\u003e1.1 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 44.6%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePower Supply Size\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 54.5%;\"\u003eW200 × H115 × D265 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 44.6%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePower Supply Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 54.5%;\"\u003e2.6 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 44.6%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePower Consumption\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 54.5%;\"\u003e5W\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 44.6%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecial Requirement\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 54.5%;\"\u003eTonearm shield and phono cable shield must be independent for proper use\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"simco-audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44506119143559,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0596\/4886\/8487\/files\/mc1.jpg?v=1776716028","url":"https:\/\/simcoaudio.com\/products\/mc-1-head-amplifier-1","provider":"simco-audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
