As with the MC-1, Miyajima describe it as a design in which the audio signal does not pass through resistance, aiming for realistic sound quality without the phase-shift limitations they associate with transformers.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe MC-2 supports both low-impedance and high-impedance cartridges, offers two selectable inputs, and provides a choice of input impedance values to suit different cartridges. Miyajima recommend 150 ohms for their stereo cartridges and 51 ohms for their monaural cartridges, while noting that a faint tube noise may be heard at high volume and that RF pickup can occasionally occur in wooden buildings.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e—\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned to feed the MM input of a preamp 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%;\"\u003e51 \/ 100 \/ 150 \/ 240 \/ ∞ ohms\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 44.6%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInput Capacitance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 54.5%;\"\u003e0.00 \/ 0.68 \/ 1.00 \/ 1.50 \/ 2.20 μF\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%;\"\u003e16 dB (about 40 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\u003eInputs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 54.5%;\"\u003e2 inputs (A \/ B)\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 × 6922\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%;\"\u003eW96 × H185 × D240 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%;\"\u003e1.9 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\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"simco-audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44506132840583,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0596\/4886\/8487\/files\/mc2.jpg?v=1776716008","url":"https:\/\/simcoaudio.com\/products\/mc-2-head-amplifier","provider":"simco-audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
